You have a very blessed Lord's Day too, Stubborn.

You remind me of a professor at STAS who kept referring to the West-Syriac liturgy as the "Marianite" Rite...in LITURGY class.

Thank you and you do the same.

The best way to learn is to learn from those who've been there and have wounds from fighting on the battle field, so have first hand experience dealing with almost all aspects of this crisis.

When you get kicked out of your rectory and parish, travel the country for decades, preaching, administering sacraments and saying true Mass in garages and other makeshift rooms for the spiritually starved and totally confused faithful, at that point I will listen to you - because by then you'd be preaching the same truth as the priests I referenced, instead of the NO theology you're preaching now.

Then you are ignorant and should remain silent on all these matters.

I cannot frame that in any manner more charitably. You admit knowing nothing about Eastern Churches or pluriform liturgical rites both east AND WEST. That is worse than sophomoric.

Good morning Elwin, are you familiar with Fr. Victor J. Pospishil? If so, is he a reliable source for learning about the Eastern Churches? I ask because I read that he advocated for liberal revisions of Church law regarding divorce, and I am unaware if he was liberal in other aspects of his ecclesiology as well 

And you assume that Elwin and I don’t have similar experience?  I know a little bit about Church History but trust me that Elwin has more knowledge in his left pinky finger about it than you and I have combined.  You’d do well to listen lest you simply label anything that doesn’t fit in with your narrow mind as “Novus Ordo”.

Thank you, but I am really second-rate at Church history -- never published. 🥺

I am wholly unfamiliar with Fr. Victor J. Pospishil. Is he an SJ?

I am familiar with Fr. Robert Taft, SJ, who was a modernist Byzantine academic.

Fr. Adrian Fortescue was an orientalist. As he is a good source with which to begin a study of the Roman liturgy, so too is hd a good soyrce to begin a study of the Eastern Churches and liturgies.

Thank you for the responses, I appreciate it. Here is the wiki page on Fr. Pospishil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_J._Pospishil

I saw a book by him referenced here in an older thread, which I cannot find now, about the Eastern Churches. Looked him up and read about his views on divorce which made me wary.
I actually ordered Fr. Fortescue's Study of the Roman Rite yesterday after reading your recommendation in another thread, so I will begin there (It will probably be a couple years before I can move on to studying the Eastern Churches, I'm a very slow learner )
