I can’t help but wonder- are there other differences between the two liturgies beyond the orientation? Would it be an “equivalent” change to requiring the Novus Ordo to turn as orientem for the liturgy of Eucharist or is it closer to trying to bring the TLM and the Novus Ordo together in a unified manner?

Maybe it's not "like" or "equivalent". Maybe it's just what's at issue in the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, and must be understood in its own terms or not at all.

I am not now and never have been a religion reporter. But a religion editor I knew insisted that comparisons to a sort of generic, average Christianity were NOT helpful, and any faith has to be explained in its own terms.

In my opinion, business reporting is easier. So good job, Pillar.
