Hi! I'm Pbritti and I'm glad to be reviewing this article. Looking forward to a bit of a change of pace for this review, as I usually stick to other subject areas. Please expect comments today UTC! ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:31, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

thank you, Pbritti. I'll do my best to reply ASAP. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 05:33, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm afraid life has happened. Gitz6666, can you wait until the end of this upcoming week for a continuation on this review? ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:12, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

That's absolutely not a problem, I'm also quite busy at the moment! Thanks for letting me know. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 17:20, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Early comments

Was busier than anticipated—a charcuterie board was involved—but I've now read the article and some minimal outside searching. A couple initial comments are below.

• Consider elaborating on the ecclesiastical law element. As of right now, it's by inference that we're referring to Catholic canon law.
• This strikes me as a source that ought to get integrated. I would note how it even identifies the dates of translations.

Thank you. Excellent source, worth integrating. I'll do it as soon as possible (I'm also quite busy in RL and on the wiki). The dates of translation of his major works match: Romano, S. [1918] 2017. The Legal Order.

Your first point is tricky. I know from personal knowledge aka WP:OR that "ecclesiastical law" was not synonymous with "canon law" as our redirect might imply. By "ecclesiastical law", legal scholars like Romano did not mean the internal law of the Catholic Church ("canon law"), but the law governing the relationship between the State and the Catholic Church. Most of that law was usually described as domestic (state) public law. So it would be worth creating a separate article "Ecclesiastical law" to clarify the point. Now I have the sources, but not the time. And I don't have a source for Romano stating that he didn't use "ecclesiastical law" as a synonym for canon law, so I'd prefer to leave the matter untouched in this article and create an "Ecclesiastical law" article in the future, or at least a section on "Ecclesiastical law" in our "Canon law" article.
