Along the way he studied in Canada at the most liberal canon law factory in the entire disgusting novus ordo swamp.

Oh yes, that's correct. Vere has written repeatedly about his debt to his mentor who has now been defrocked as an admitted homosexual abuser. "Adoremus" wrote about how Vere's ex-priest homosexual mentor was a one-man wrecking crew destroying the Catholic liturgy all across the United States from his base in Canada.

Perhaps a little context is in order. 1) Vere wrote these comments before the details about his mentor's past became general knowledge. Vere was as surprised as anyone else. 2) As most North American canonists are aware, his mentor was more of a liturgical libertarian than a liturgical liberal. Back in the late 80's and early 90's when most canonists were arguing that Ecclesia Dei adflicta applied only to the Mass, Vere's mentor was the only canonist of any stature who argued that this position was incorrect and that the Holy Father had now expanded the indult to include the six other sacraments. Subsequently, he equipped Vere and about a half dozen other traditionalist canonists to argue their case within the canon law world. They were successful, and today the expanded permissions is taken for granted by most in the Church.

This same 'mentor' [COUGH] is the source of the 'SSPX is schismatic' garbage that Vere is now pushing as his own.
