We hope to release the Missal for implementation on the First Sunday of Advent of 2011 and should be able to do so if the final text is in our hands well before the end of 2010. 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.
