Who Is the Real Elena Ferrante? Italian Journalist Reveals His Answer
An enduring literary mystery, the identity of the author Elena Ferrante may be a step closer to a solution after a journalistic investigation.Writing original fiction is not a crime.
She was what is called a hack.
She is now producing original genre work.
Think Charles Dickens.

Has Pope Francis Helped Reform the Church?
Readers disagree with an Op-Ed article suggesting that Francis’ papacy has failed.http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/28/opinion/has-pope-francis-failed.html?ref=opinion
Pope Francis is not Girolamo Savonnarola
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girolamo_Savonarola
or Martin Luther.
His interest is a church for people as they are.
