DEADLINES some believe, are made to be ignored,
but sober people say we ignore deadlines at our peril--which is
often true. No one, even the frivolous, wants to miss the final deadline,
which comes at death. If you miss that one by not being spiritually
prepared, there's no catching up. Publishing is more lenient. If you
miss a deadline, you can catch up, which is what we're doing
by putting out two issues a month. But doubling up can lead to anomalies.
This is the July issue, but I already know what happened
at World Youth Day in August because I am writing this at the end
of September. (Sounds a bit Twilight Zone-ish, doesn't it?)
I don't want to spill all the beans, but I
am at liberty to say that Catholic Answers had great success in Denver;
the response was much better than we had any right to anticipate.
A report will follow in a later issue. This month (I mean July, not
September) we report on what we did in anticipation of World Youth
Day--particularly, how we raised funds to print Pillar of
Fire, Pillar of Truth, the booklet we distributed, and what comments
came in from people who received our fund-raising letter. We're recounting
this story since many readers want to know what goes on behind the
scenes here. Catholic Answers, after all, is much more than a magazine.
Prizeless Contest: What's wrong with the clipart
on page 31? (We have reason to believe the clipart is from a Fundamentalist
graphics house, thus the poor biblical exegesis.)
