I am not Catholic, but occasionally attend with my family for the benefit of the children. Today, the homily was about the danger of alienating people who are important to you. The sermon ended with a 40 minute lecture about dressing better for church, not taking communion if not married in the church, talking, leaving early, tithing issues, etc and etc. Doesn't this seem a little ironic considering the message of the homily? In the day when the Catholic church needs members, why alienate your existing members with a lecture (whether valid or not)?
