Journalists like priests get stale and it is inevitable that just as the quality of writing can vary so too can the quality of preaching. But maybe with a journalist the editor is looking over the shoulder and can hint, whatever, whereas with the priest how often do superiors 'hint'.
At Mass in Churchtown on Sunday the priest in his sermon began by attacking the media, made snide comments about the film 'Brokeback Mountain' and then went on to say that when candidates for the upcoming elections call to our doors we should ask them if they believe in the immortality of the soul.

It was the Gospel of the Good Shepherd in the Church of the Good Shepherd. A great occasion to be uplifted and inspired, instead people praying in the church had to listen to the pet hates of a man who was theologically ill informed.
