Description
Summary:While a number of studies have been published on homiletics within a Protestant context, fewer studies are available within the Catholic Church. Despite this lack of data, several recent magisterial documents have bemoaned the quality of preaching at Eucharistic liturgies. This article brings recent Catholic magisterial statements into conversation with two studies conducted within the Catholic Diocese of Dallas regarding attitudes toward preaching. Following the presentation of the official Catholic theology of preaching and research findings, the conclusion provides the authors’ thoughts and recommendations for adjustments in the field.
