Well, as I mentioned, I was happy to see CT Weblog editor Ted Olsen. In addition, I had a nice chat with Vinita Wright, an author and editor who edited my fall Loyola book (which is already on Amazon, miraculously). I finally met Mark Neilsen, my editor at Living Faith, which happens to be the…

As an author concerned with selling books, I’m very interested to see how publishers market, and, of course, compare it to my own experience. A trade show is only one aspect – and some would argue, an aspect of declining importance – in marketing, but it’s still instructive. First, you gotta give stuff away. Everyone…

Of course we’re back, but I was just so tired yesterday, couldn’t bear to start blogging. Plus, I had that 2-hour interview w/Fr. Ron Lengwin on KDKA last night which wore me out, as well. Comments are open, if you have anything to say. Thursday and Friday were devoted to Book Expo and doing stuff…

Go take the Catholic Movie Poll, sponsored by NCR(egister).

With Christianity Today, Deal Hudson, Fr. Neuhaus, Russ Shaw and some others. Do you have a particular message for Pope John Paul II, whom you will be meeting with shortly? No. I’m there to listen. I will respond. If I would even dare give him a message it would be, “Hold the line.” … This…

Questioning the tax-exempt status A watchdog group asked the IRS on Thursday to revoke the tax-exempt status of the Roman Catholic diocese in Colorado Springs over the bishop’s threat to withhold communion from those who disagree with the church. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, said…

in the Baltimore Sun Keeler said in an interview this week that it was not the business of bishops to choose who receives Communion. Instead, he said he supports church policy that individual Catholics should determine whether they are in a state of grace with the church before partaking in the Eucharist, the heart of…
