Editing Pope John Paul I (section)

===Diocesan process===

The process for the canonisation for John Paul I formally began in 1990 with the petition by 226 [[Brazilians|Brazilian]] bishops, including four cardinals. The petition was addressed directly to Pope John Paul II.<ref>{{cite web |title=Press Conference to present the Beatification of Pope John Paul I, 02.09.2022 |url=https://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2022/09/02/220902b.html |website=press.vatican.va |access-date=19 November 2022}}</ref>

On 26 August 2002, Bishop [[Vincenzo Savio]] announced the start of the preliminary phase to collect documents and testimonies necessary to start the process of [[canonisation]]. On 8 June 2003 the [[Congregation for the Causes of Saints]] gave its assent to the work and on 17 June transferred the forum for the beatification process from Rome to Belluno-Feltre while also declaring the late pope as a [[Servant of God]] after declaring "[[nihil obstat]]" (no objections to the cause). On 23 November, on the [[Feast of Christ the King]], the diocesan process formally opened in [[Belluno Cathedral]] with [[José Saraiva Martins]] in charge and presiding over the inauguration.<ref>Congregation for the Causes of Saints, [https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/csaints/documents/rc_con_csaints_doc_20031123_papa-luciani_it.html Solemn Opening of the Cause for Canonisation of the Servant of God, Albino Luciani, Pope John Paul I] on 23 November 2003.
