Commentary

One of my shelves in one of my office bookcases collapsed because of two broken dowels in the front ends of the shelf. The collapsed shelf contained various post-Vatican II volumes. As fortune would have it, the shelf below it contained one singular, tall and substantial hardback volume that broke the fall of the shelf above it, supporting it and preventing it from spilling all of its books on the floor -- a worn volume published in 1935 in Spain entitled, as irony would have it: Missale Romanum.
