I am a Franciscan Brother of private vows, of the strict observance.

I hold a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Florida: Gainesville (1986): cum laude; lected to Phi Beta Kapa: I also completed the principle course work for a co-major in Classical Studies.

I am a graduate of Our Lady of Grace Seminary, Boston (1988): cum laude; where the course work was the equiv. of a B.A. in Catholic Theology

I was a student from 1993-6 at the "Academy of the Immaculate", a program of Theological Studies equiv. to a licenciate in Sacred Theology, in the Diocese of Fall River, MA, USA

I am the Editor and Publisher of The Franciscan Archive: A WWW Resource on All Things Franciscan, where I publish English Translations of works by Peter Lombard, Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, John Duns Scotus, Peter Reginaldetus, Lawrence of Brindisi, Francis of Assisi, and Papal Documents from the 12th to 20th Centuries.

I am currently involved in the Commentary Project: which aims to publish for the first time a complete English Translation of Bonaventure's Commentaria and Lombard's Book of Sentences.

Note to All Wikipedia Users who visit this page and/or want to contact me:

I first started to attempt to edit a page here at WP a few days ago. I participated at length on the Anselm talk page. And this is what I learned:

Wikipedia is a not an encyclopedia. It is a sociological on-line game, designed to trap unwary individuals, who have a lot of time and don't mind wasting it in idle contentious debates, that lead nowhere, and which in no way better the common good of mankind or the souls who thus participate. You can liken it to a congress of not entirely well informed folk who have met together to remake the world according to their own POV. Alas, it drags so many souls down to hell through uncharitable comments, arguments, lies, deceits, hatreds.

My advice to you, one and all, is don't waste your time at Wikipedia. Go out into the real world and feed the poor, cloth the naked, visit prisoners, care for the elderly who have no one to care for, give shelter to the homeless, teach the ignorant, befriend the friendless, help the orphan, but above all, pray to the Lord Jesus to know His will better, and put it into practice every day.

This is my final contribution to WP. I will not participate here any more. If you want to contact me, please do it through my website or blogs. God bless! May the Blessed Virgin Mary watch over you!--Br Alexis Bugnolo 02:16, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
