Protestants won't put up with a lousy preacher.

Catholics have no say in the matter, so we get atrocious preachers.

Nothing will improve the preaching until congregations demand that their priests improve.

Send your pastor a critique of his homily. Let him know that it's lousy. Let him know when it's good.

Priests who can't take the time to reflect enough on Scripture to pray, and deliver, a ten-minute exhortation on the Gospel of the Sunday just as well sit down, observe a moment of silence, and recite the Creed.

**Nothing will improve the preaching until congregations demand that their priests improve.**

I would think that every priest or deacon that preaches would want to do a great job.

I know there are classes on homily writing. Is it that priests and deacons do not avail themselves of such training and learning sources?

Protestants like "fire and brimstone" sermons.I prefer ones where there is hope.
