CUA Press is doing a 20+ vol. English critical edition of all of Wojtyla/JPII's writings, starting with Person and Act. Huge. Also, Mike Aquilina's new compilation of the Fathers on the Mass, new translations of Piers Plowman and Pascal's Pensees... Looks like a great season.

Critical Edition of the Writings of Karol Wojtyla
How many libraries would be purchasing this collection? Libraries in Latin seminaries and universities might be interested, but is this really a good dedication of resources during a time of collapse? I'd rather see someone working on a bilingual critical edition of the Church Fathers. IMO, Karol Wojtyła's originality in philosophy and theology may not be overrated but its value is limited, and his importance for the patriarchate of Rome is definitely exaggerated.
