As I am now about half-way through Thomas Merton's "The Seven Storey Mountain," it occurs to me what a travesty Catholic publishing has become.
Some of the newest books out there, recently published and soon to be published, are absolute pablum and marked by gross frivolity. Not all, of course, but many.
If that's all it takes to get a book published, then heck - as many of you suggested when I told that very personal story here on my blog some time ago - it's time for me to write my own book.
