[Hieronymus]

In my Intro Scripture course I teach Dei Verbum, along with Providentissimus Deus, the decrees of the PBC, Spiritus Paraclitus, Divino Afflante Spiritu, and some other scripture documents. Why should I toss Scriptural Encyclicals out of a Scripture course to introduce, say Gaudium et Spes?

In my Liturgy Course, I teach Sacrosanctum Concilium, along with a whole pack of other scriptural documents. Should I toss Tra Le Sollecitudine for Nostra Aetate?

There is another prof who covers off a variety of other documents as appropriate in appropriate courses. He also offers a course that goes through all 16 documents.

I’d rather spend my time on Hebrew and Greek.

Is that prof critical of any of the 16 documents?

I ask because I'm questioning the orthodoxy of your institute.

I find it amusing to see the hypocrisy below in Sacrosanctum Concilium:

3. Therefore no other person, even if he be a priest, may add, remove, or change anything in the liturgy on his own authority.

23. That sound tradition may be retained, and yet the way remain open to legitimate progress careful investigation is always to be made into each part of the liturgy which is to be revised.

Brings to mind the full circle of pro multis, to pro omnis, back to pro multis.
