Father Leo discusses the Vatican’s response to German bishops requesting permission for lay men and women to preach homilies during Mass. He explains the Catholic distinction between lay preaching in conferences, retreats, online evangelization, and the liturgical homily reserved to priests and deacons. The episode explores why the homily is connected to ordination, pastoral experience, and the proclamation of the Gospel within the Eucharistic celebration. Father Leo also addresses the German Synodal Way, concerns about liturgical confusion, and the need for evangelization outside of Mass. He encourages Catholics to pray for priests and deacons, prepare for the Sunday readings, and distinguish between preaching style and substance.
