Cabasilas’s A Commentary on the Divine Liturgy…so he’s Orthodox. Still, it’s a great read and we could learn a lot from it. And besides, Pope Benedict’s quoted him.
July 19th, 2007 at 3:01 pmThanks Argent. I’ve wrestled with the question of whether or not I should put non-Catholic stuff up. I’ve decided that at the very least, some of Newman’s pre-Catholic stuff should be included. On the literature page, which I haven’t done much work on, I will have up classic works regardless of religious affiliation (or lack thereof).
