I see there is a discourse about homilies. I’m not sure why. I’ll only say this:
I learned there was a Catholic intellectual tradition through homilies, and it could answer my questions, and was more than the vapid Dr. Suessian pablum I’d heard in youth groups.

I have been convicted by homilists preaching the kerygma, the Last Things, the catechism, the saints, impending judgment, the Blessed Mother, the love and mercy of God, the Holy Spirit's power, the fathers of the Church, and every once in a while, the witness of their own lives.
I have been scandalized by homilists reading a canned thing they bought from a syndication service.
but I find the latter occurs less often than the former.
