Best Answer

Pope John Paul I (Albino Luciani) began his papacy in the 1978. His reign was the shortest in papal history, spanning a mere 33 days having died an abrupt death at the age of 65. Pope John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla) suceeded him in 1978. So both of them started their papacies in the 1970s.

Pope John Paul I died after only 33 days in office. It was not the shortest reign but is one of the shortest reigns in history. His was the 11th shortest reign the shortest being Urban VII (September 15–September 27, 1590). He reigned for 13 calendar days. John Paul I reigned from August 26–September 28, 1978, - 33 calendar days.
