Cheating a bit: missing Logos blog option

The Verbum Blog will be available in the Logos 5 home page to purchasers of Catholic library packages.
Or, since it is syndicated via RSS, you can read it in the RSS reader of your choice.

Okay, I bought your first Catholic version - L2 I think it was[;)] However, I've also bought the Catholic Library Builder so I should expect to see it soonish? I assume you know Verbum is gaining a significant number of non-Catholic viewers because of the quality of Andrew's blogs.

Does that mean the Protestant/Catholic option in settings has gone for good?

We are not changing the behaviour of existing customers' installations. It will appear for new purchasers of Catholic library packages.

There was an "Include Deuterocanonical books" setting that had no effect (because there was no data for deuterocanonical books). This setting has been removed in Logos 5.

So how do the rest of us opt in? Shall I ask for a refund on all my purchases of a couple of decades then use the refund to repurchase what I actually use?[;)]
Seriously I understand why Bob would want to decrease the visibility of the "new base" from the older "Evangelical base" but everyone should have an opt in option even if it "send an email to ..."

I agree. I have bought, without question, every Catholic resource Logos sells, and to be denied a nice feature inside of Logos 5 because I didn't purchase it in the specific SKU/packaging attached to the feature does not sit well with me.

It seems that Logos should provide a separate no-cost SKU for this feature so that users can add it if they want, especially if the only reason it's not in the default app is to avoid offending non-Catholics. (I'm not saying that's the reason, but I can't think of another one)
I'm not Catholic, but I'd still be interested in being reminded about the blog updates.

I don't know if that's the reason but I know that Bob's said he's gotten some pretty bad mail for including Catholic material - we used to see a bit of it on the forums as well. My favorite was one who was irate at a Catholic resource ... that was actually Anglican. Or remember the uproar when The Book of Enoch came out with type "Bible"?[:D] But if I were Bob, would certainly plan around not alienating my base market as I expanded.
The real split as I see it is not Catholic/Protestant but liturgical church - fundamentalist/evangelical with most of mainline Protestants falling somewhere in the middle, willing to take the best from either side.

Be that as it may, just make it a free opt in if there is concern of offending people. I myself wonder why the customers that buy the most of that product type would be excluded, if we are worrying about offending people.

An easy solution to this would be a setting you enable through the website. That way Logos' UI doesn't get cluttered.
