At the church I attended last evening, during the homily, the priest was especially animated. I know him so I could tell his recent studies and workshops were influencing his homiletics - he was exhibiting a bit more enthusiasm than usual. He also sounded as if he were reading someone else's script. I think his recent studies were showing through. His homily wasn't what I would deem
perfectly dogmatic - there were a few chinks or subtle errors... perhaps better defined as
ambiguities. Believe me when I tell you I wasn't
looking for the chinks - I was just listening to the homily. I doubt anyone else even noticed.
.
I've heard the stuff he was saying many times before. I was a bit surprised however that old dogs would learn old tricks, yet the so-called
errors are fairly minor. Some people would probably have told me I should talk to Father about it, either after Mass or catch him at another time. I didn't and I won't.
.
I have more important things on my mind.
