Just thought I'd start this thread where everyone can share their favorite homily and sermon. Here's my favorite so far from Sensus Fidelium, it's a bit old, but it's very inspiring and I'm trying to watch it more to help me with my problems: What's your favourite homily or sermon?
I don't believe there is a transcript of it. However, when I click on the link in your post it plays the whole homily and it plays it on my cell phone as well. I hope you can find a way to listen, as I have heard nothing as powerful as this on what is going on in the priesthood with homosexuality and he gives personal witness of it in his own journey. He has been silenced before for his orthodoxy and this may not go well for him again, as he lives just outside one of the largest gay circles in the USA in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area. He traces this homosexual movement in the priesthood in the US back to 1928. In 1953, he states there were already 4 Cardinals in the Vatican.
Thanks for the reply and summary, Fatima. I tried again, but it just stutters and stops. Maybe it's got something to do with me accessing it from where I am in Asia. I'll try again tomorrow. This matches closely with what Bella Dodd said about the communist infiltration into the Church: "The year 1953 saw Bella called up by a Congressional committee investigating the infiltration of Communists in the high places of the United States government. Her newfound faith strengthened her to face this ordeal with courage and determination. She swore before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee that there were a number of Communists in legislative offices in Congress and in a number of groups advising the President of the United States. She also testified to the Communist takeover of labor unions in the country and of her personal experience securing posts for members of the Party in the unions. Perhaps most frightening of all was her testimony that during her time in the Party, “more than eleven hundred men had been put into the priesthood to destroy the Church from within,” the idea here being that these men would be ordained to the priesthood and progress to positions of influence and authority as monsignors and even bishops. She stated that “right now they are in the highest places in the Church” where they were working to weaken the Church’s effectiveness against Communism. These changes, she declared, would be so drastic that “you will not recognize the Catholic Church.” A few years later, in a conversation with a new Catholic friend, Alice von Hildebrand, Bella told her that there are four cardinals within the Vatican “who are working for the Communists.” This was twelve years before Vatican II. The reader can draw his own conclusions."
I've finally been able to listen to the whole audio. I don't wish to hijack this thread, so I'm continuing my posts discussing this particular homily on the 'Persecution of Christians' thread.
