We live in a golden age of lay preaching, as witnessed by so many great podcasts and YouTube channels. By all means listen to these.

This is such a terrible idea I bet Francis does it.-1-

The analysis is not about preaching at Mass, but about regulating and normalizing the other kinds of lay preaching that happen in the Church.

Woops. If I teased that idea, I certainly did not mean to! My apologies!
Actually, reading it properly, I donтАЩt think you did. Maybe my spidey senses are too on edge.
Understandable!
