On Friday, LifeSiteNews reported that Joseph Sinasac, of Novalis, Tom Rosica's publisher, was "alarmed and dismayed" over the cases of plagiarism. Sinasac reported that all was well, that the books, were "very clean."
Joshua Hochschild a professor at Mount St. Mary's University uncovered examples of Rosica's plagiarist actions. On March 3 on Twitter, Dr. Hochschild asks if Novalis can confirm that Rosica's book, Seven Last words, "does not contain, or at least documents, these ~20 sentences from a 1994 source (in addition to the other five instances I found?"
Sinasac relied on plagiarism detecting software which Hocshchild calls a "weak tool." He continues that "Publishers who suspect an author plagiarized should give work extra careful scrutiny: actual reading and careful search, not a quick software check."
