A caller named Julie asks, “Is anyone other than a priest allowed to preach a homily?” Father Dave explains that only ordained people: deacons, priests, or bishops, can preach a homily at Mass. He points out that homilies aren’t the only type of preaching in the Catholic Church, and there are some situations in which a layperson can preach, like prayer services. However, this wouldn’t be considered a homily. Original Air 2-07-18
