For those who are unaware, there is a blog called "shameless orthodoxy" which I suppose was created in response to another blog called "shameless popery", in which the author delves primarily into the Latin traditions, readily confessing a lack of sufficient knowledge of Greek to read primary texts in the Greek traditions.
In September he posted an article called "Divorce & Remarriage in the Latin West: A Forgotten History"
Since this is one area where Catholics regularly accuse Orthodox of having deviated from the faith handed down, it is good to see that the Latin Church previously held to a position not much different from that held by the Orthodox Church today.
Many of his sources are drawn from
Jo-Ann McNamara and Suzanne F. Wemple, “Marriage and Divorce in the Frankish Kingdom,” in Women in Medieval Society, edited by Susan Mosher Stuard (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1976), 95-124
