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. 🥺

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
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 :laugh1:)
