Sure, but that's just because they're concerned their priests are working too hard. Away from sacerdotal ears, layfolk all say they love long, meaty, and complex homilies, and are a little hurt when the priest doesn't even try to teach them a little Greek along the way.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534284662785499386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-73172506523076936942013-05-24T13:20:55.865-05:002013-05-24T13:20:55.865-05:00Woohoo!Woohoo!Will Duquettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842496412575851453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-30313730239966932222013-05-24T09:54:29.884-05:002013-05-24T09:54:29.884-05:00Congratulations, Fr.
