About canonization, Reginald Foster, and ten years of service in the Vatican's Office of Latin Letters.

Daniel Gallagher holds degrees from the University of Michigan, the Catholic University of America, and the Pontifical Gregorian University. For ten years, he worked in the Vatican as a Latin language specialist, serving first Pope Benedict XVI and then Pope Francis. Since 2017, he has taught in the Department of Classics at Cornell University, where he currently holds the title of Professor of the Practice. Daniel has published extensively in the field of medieval philosophy, and he also translated the popular "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" into Latin, a book entitled "Commentarii de Inepto Puero."

Here's a link to the complete letter about Mother Teresa that we discuss during the episode. Here's a link to the Vatican's Latin Twitter page.
