Pope Francis called homilies “a disaster.” Here’s what we can do about it.

Earlier this year, Pope Francis called most Catholic homilies “a
disaster.” Well, we’re doing something about it. This week, Ashley
and Zac welcome Ricardo da Silva, S.J., their colleague and the
host of the brand new podcast from America Media, “Preach: The
Catholic Homilies Podcast.” “Preach” releases weekly and features a
diverse cast of the finest Catholic preachers. On each episode,
preachers open up their hearts and minds, sharing their spiritual
lives, approaches to interpreting Scripture and techniques for
preparing the best homilies. Whether you’re curious about preaching
methods, or you’re a preacher looking for inspiration and best
practices, “Preach” is here to accompany you through the liturgical
year with great homilies and conversations about them. Follow
“Preach: The Catholic Homilies Podcast” on your podcast app! Or at
AmericaMagazine.org If you know a priest, deacon or lay preacher
who would benefit from “Preach,” please share it with them! And, if
you want to recommend a great preacher for “Preach,” let us know
