I do enjoy your blog and your homilies...here in the most far-flung part of the Diocese of Rochester (NY) we have exactly two priests, each over 65, in our three "clusters" who seem to be true originalists. Otherwise, we are treated to female homilists -- oops -- pastoral associates who give "reflections" while the less motivated priests sit and watch. <BR/><BR/>I occasionally drive 90 minutes to the opposite end of the DOR to hear my adopted brother-priest from Nigeria preach (wonderful!) but he has been warned by Bishop Clark's office that he is "too conservative" and if he loses parishioners, he will lose his place as a pastor. (He is here "on loan" from Nigeria because of the shortage here. Can you imagine, with such a boss?)<BR/><BR/>Anyway...thanks for living your vocation, and God bless you!<BR/>KitKithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016763543666450600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-37614897148591021592008-01-06T21:29:00.000-05:002008-01-06T21:29:00.000-05:00Ohevin:If there is, it is a technical one, but not...Ohevin:<BR/><BR/>If there is, it is a technical one, but not -- in my judgment -- a meaningful one.<BR/><BR/>Supposedly, a homily must, by definition, be Scripture-driven, while a sermon may be, or may be topic-driven.Fr Martin Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375628123126091747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-1941034940996977762008-01-06T21:16:00.000-05:002008-01-06T21:16:00.000-05:00Father Fox,Is there a difference between a sermon ...Father Fox,<BR/><BR/>Is there a difference between a sermon and a homily?<BR/><BR/>OhevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
