I have an academic degree in history (Fordham University Ph.D 2001), now work as a freelance writer, and have researched Pope John Paul I's life for more than 25 years. I can speak Italian and several other languages. I have published many translations of John Paul I's writings from both before and after he became Pope for the journal Humilitas, published in Gilford NH by the Missionary Servants of Pope John Paul I; some are included in the book The Smiling Pope: The Life and Teaching of John Paul I (Huntington, Indiana, Our Sunday Visitor, 2004).

I am preparing a scholarly biography of John Paul I, as well as a more complete edition of translations of his writings. but most of my research is still unpublished. However, I have put some information that could be very useful for editing this page on my bog, such as this recent post on Gregoire, which also cites the original publication of some of Luciani's writings on moral theology in Italian, with English translations.

Please feel free to link to it or use it. I would contribute to editing myself if I had time, but am working on a deadline on another project right now. Also as someone who is engaged in original research myself, I would probably not be thought impartial. But there are other citations of sources (some in English) that I could contribute.
