I want to apologize to everybody for going silent on the blog for so long. If you've been keeping up with me on Facebook (you can do that, if you want) you know that of late I have been working virtually non-stop on the revision of my book Mass Confusion.
The new title will be Mass Revision. It focuses on the new translation of the Mass that is about to come out, updates for the last 12 years of liturgical law, and has a bunch of new features the old version lacked.
But it was very labor intensive to produce, and I had only two months to do it in, so I was working from as early as 6 a.m. to as late as 9:30 p.m–including on Saturdays and Sundays (the latter of which I'm really hesitant to do), having to cancel dance events and getting other callers to sub for me, etc.
As a result, I got behind on blogging (both here and at the National Catholic Register) and e-mail. I meant to get a note up here about what was going on, but didn't.
So I want to apologize. Will endeavor to keep it from happening again.
Fortunately, I shouldn't hit another "crunch time" of that severity for a number of months–at least! (Future projects are likely to be on a less time-compressed schedule.)
So I now have two books in the production pipeline (meaning: out of my hands and at the publishers'): The Fathers Know Best: Your Essential Guide to Early Church Teachings and Mass Revision: Your Essential Guide to the Changes in the Liturgy. Both should be out in a matter of months. Will keep you posted.
In the mean time, the blog is now open for business. What do y'all want to talk about?
