| Summary: | The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops in "Preaching the Mystery of Faith: The Sunday Homily" (PMF) identified a problem with liturgical preaching in the Catholic Church: "in survey after survey over the past years, the People of God have called for more powerful and inspiring preaching. A steady diet of tepid or poorly prepared homilies is often cited as a cause for discouragement on the part of the laity and even leading some to turn away from the Church". Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium (EG) has referred to the same problem, saying that "so many concerns have been expressed about this important ministry and we cannot simply ignore them". |
