“The Homily is a Disaster”. The Need to Improve the Quality of Homilies

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the newest history of the Church’s efforts to improve the qual- ity of homilies. The source material is the texts contained in documents from various synods in the 21st century dealing with the issue of homilies and documents from various stages of the synod on synodality, as well as the published results of research conducted by theologians in Poland on some given homilies. The conducted analyzes allows for the conclusion that the participants of the Holy Mass greatly appreciate listening to homilies and expect them, even on weekdays. A critical assessment of the quality of the homily concerns the poverty of doctrinal content, poor grounding in the celebrated mystery, and the lack of coherence of moral indications with the proclaimed message. In a short summary, some suggestions to improve the quality of homilies are proposed.
