As a result of work undertaken in Jerusalem, he was granted the title ''élève titulaire de l'École Biblique''. On February 15, 1995 he began the final phase of research for the doctorate on 'Melchisedek e l'angelologia nell'Epistola agli Ebrei e a Qumran' ('Melchisedek and Angelology in the Epistle to the Hebrews and at Qumran'), under the direction of Fr Albert Vanhoye (moderator) and Fr Joseph Sievers (relator).
