PrayTell asked Liturgical Press<\/strong>:\u00a0 You are a leader in publishing the Church’s liturgical books. Tell us about how you will produce the upcoming missal. What is your sense of the process and the timeline for your production of the upcoming missal? How soon do you need the text for this to happen still in 2011?<\/em><\/p>\n

Director Peter Dwyer Replied: <\/strong>Liturgical Press is planning for the publication of the third edition of the Roman Missal whenever the final text is ready to be released.\u00a0 However, the extraordinary confusion of late about the state and status of the text of the new Roman Missal suggests that all publication plans are at best hopeful predictions.\u00a0 So, we hope <\/em>to release the Missal for implementation on the First Sunday of Advent of 2011 and should<\/em> be able to do so if the final text is in our hands well before the end of 2010. \u00a0The sooner the better, of course.\u00a0 And a few caveats are in order:<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We expect to receive InDesign files which implies that the text is clean and reasonably error-free.\u00a0 Previous ritual editions, the Lectionary for example, were fraught with errors which the publishers collectively worked mightily to correct.\u00a0 We expect the Missal files will be in better condition than the Lectionary files were but the extensive changes late in the process of preparing the Missal text increase the likelihood of more errors slipping through.\u00a0 Corrections take time, lots of corrections take lots of time.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The number of publishers involved has a direct bearing on the ability of USCCB\/CDW staff to review pages prior to publication.\u00a0 This is a huge project and each edition has to be reviewed.\u00a0 The InDesign files should reduce the number of reviews from two to one but if text corrections end up causing significant reflow (repaging of the book) a second review may be necessary.<\/p>\n

We won\u2019t know until we have the final text what the first release date will be.\u00a0 This is the date on which any publisher may begin to ship books.\u00a0 For publishers and parishes the release date is as important as the implementation date.\u00a0 Priests will need to begin practicing with the new texts well ahead of the implementation date.\u00a0 For this reason I believe a release date in mid-summer 2011 is important for successful implementation and reception of the new Missal.\u00a0 If the final text of the new Missal is in publishers\u2019 hands in October 2010 we will have eight months to produce books for a mid-summer release. Eight months is very tight but doable provided the text is relatively error free and we don\u2019t encounter a delay because of the review process. \u00a0If we don\u2019t have final text until the end of 2010 a mid-summer release date is unrealistic. Six months is not enough time to prepare, print, and bind a book of this size and complexity. \u00a0We would still likely have an Advent implementation date but the later first release date will shorten the preparation time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
