Rational thought and interesting, demonstrated facts.

What is the single most important point that you look for in a clergyman’s talk,
sermon, or homily in a Sunday service?

that it is a homily as prescribed by the norms, a talk expanding on the scripture readings of Mass and assisting us to relate the message to our own lives.

 

[AlltheRoses]

I like homilies that emphasize Christ’s love, discuss the Gospel and other readings intelligently, relate the readings to life in the modern world, and in which the priest comes across as humble, rather than as someone who believes he is morally superior to everyone else in the congregation.
