Lucien Gregoire on his first visit to Vittorio Vento in 1969

 

About George Lucien Gregoire, author of Murder in the Vatican

 
Puzzled by the event that the very same College of Cardinals elected in one month a social revolutionary who had from time to time challenged the church’s position on controversial issues including ordination of women, remarriage, homosexuality, contraception and artificial insemination and in the very next month elected an ultraconservative who promised to bring an end to change in the church, the author spent two years in Italy researching the events of the time. His intent was to write the first complete biography on the life of John Paul I entitled Pauper Who Would Be Pope, the only pope in history to have been born into dire poverty. But his investigation soon told him that his new book would be more appropriately entitled Murder in the Vatican.
