Still Waiting for a "Caritas in Veritate" Post? Me, Too

Monday morning, I posted this:

• "Oops: Why There's No "Caritas in Veritate" Post This Morning"
  (July 23, 2012)

Then I spent most of Monday in St. Cloud, about 45 miles down the road, learning how to control my diabetes. That was time well spent, but it didn't get me any further ahead on the "Caritas in Veritate" post.

I got home, got overwhelmed at the length of "Caritas in Veritate," 42. It's the end of a chapter: and consists of two paragraphs, one of them quite long.

That's "quite long," compared to the average acreage in "Caritas in Veritate."

Some of the time I could have spent on my scheduled post got used in writing about the 'Batman' killings in Aurora:

• "Mourning Aurora's Dead: Good News, of a Sort"
  (July 23, 2012)

The point of that post is that, looking past the usual conspiracy theories and emotion-drenched calls for 'eye-ear-nose-and-throat for an eye' vengeance: flags are at half mast, folks are mourning, and many - crazies and otherwise - apparently still realize that the death of innocent people isn't right.

It hurts, but as my father-in-law says, 'pain lets you know you're alive.'

Now I'm reminded that there's another scheduled non-writing block of time this afternoon.

I may get that "Caritas in Veritate" post written this week: it's started, but nowhere near ready for posting.

More likely, I'll get to it later, and have it ready for next Monday.

Maybe next week will be a bit quieter. Or, not.
