If the clergy is Speaking, they are giving a Sermon.
If the Sermon is Quoting Passages out of Scripture...it's a Doctrinal Sermon.
If the the Sermon is via a man Speaking their own words, in the Catholic world, it's a Homily.
And the TRUTH IS, during a Catholic Mass, and conducting of the Sermon ....LATIN and English was regularly Spoken by the clergy...IN the US....IN Catholic Churches...WHILE Few English speakers, and occupants IN the Pews UNDERSTOOD Latin.
And that IS what I was clearly speaking of.
And speaking of the Testimony of Catholics themselves who attended such Churches, and they themselves saying LATIN was regularly part of the Sermon, and they understood not a lick of Latin.
THAT began to CHANGE, after a meeting was held in 1964....(apparently you were not included in the secret meeting attended by Catholic clergy, nor privy to it's outcome)......and it's effect being accomplished nearing 1969.
- the truth is that the homily/sermon has always been given in the venacular
The Truth is..there is a difference between a Doctrinal quoting of Scripture and a Homily that is simply words of the Priest that are not quoting Scripture. And Latin WAS regularly INCLUDED as Spoken during a Sermon, when the Congregets DID NOT understand Latin.
And ^ THAT was the purpose for the meeting to take place in 1964 that a solution might be put in place.
