Have you ever heard the Pope preach the gospel?

Answer 1

I think they need to get saved first.

Answer 2

Yes!

I was at Camden Yards Baseball Stadium in Baltimore when Pope John Paul the Great came in October, 1996. He celebrated Holy Mass for an overflowing stadium, and it was wonderful. He preached the gospel for us that day, and a brisk wind whipped his flowing robe as he stood before the crowd proclaiming the words and then talking to us about his reflections.

A selection from the Holy Gospel is proclaimed in every Catholic Church in the world at the Mass celebrated each day. I'm sure that most of the Popes have celebrated Mass daily, and either they or an assisting priest or deacon would do the "Gospel reading". The Pope would then likely give a sermon or homily on the Gospel that had been read.

I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction.

Answer 3

Every time the Pope gives a homily, his teaching is straight from the Bible. And in the case of the late John Paul II, his entire life was a silent sermon on Christ's love for us and the price our Savior paid for our redemption.

He LIVED the Gospel as much as he preached it.

Answer 4

I've never head the Bishop of Rome preach anything, but then I'm Anglican and we haven't listened to the Bishop of Rome since about 1549.

But just because I haven't heard it, doesn't mean one of them hasn't done it. I just haven't heard it and I don't have cable so I don't get EWTN (the Vatican-centric English language cable TV channel). Oh and if you accept the claim that St. Peter was the first Bishop of Rome, then see Acts 2 for Peter preaching the Gospel.

St. Francis said, "Preach the Gospel at all times and use words if you must." So one can preach via one's actions, and not just what one says.

Answer 5

Wow... so many troglodytic, ignorant answers already. So many people jumping the gun to dis a guy they know nothing about. Every time a priest, bishop, cardinal, or pope conducts Mass, he quotes the gospel. The sermons typically underline a specific idea or passage from the Bible that is being focused on that week, much as Protestants do.

Guess it's too much to ask for these clowns to corroborate their idiotic claims.

Answer 6

i became into fortunate sufficient to be in Rome final year and hear the Pope pontificate. He spoke in seven ~ particular, SEVEN ~ diverse languages ... Italian, German (he's German born), English, Polish, Spanish, French and Portuguese. His sermon on that day became into the main suitable in a cycle of sermons appropriate to the disciples and the character of 'disciple-deliver', that's, how are human beings disciples of Christ and how they could develop into disciples of Christ. Being the final in the sequence, the sermon became into approximately Judas Iscariot and his place in the betrayal and demise of Jesus. It drew on issues all of us do in our lives ~ betraying ourselves in small tactics with the aid of loss of ethical braveness, for an occasion, and confirmed that with the aid of theory in the resurrected Christ every person must be reborn. Hmmmm, I dunno, i presumed he looked like a christian, yet by means of fact the 2nd answerer pronounced, she does not ever undertaking to hearken to something the pope says, so she could of path be an authority. What a fabulous variety of ignorant hogwash some human beings communicate. i'm no longer even a christian and that i will see the judgementalism, lack of expertise (and unwillingness to check) and outright spite in most of the solutions. jogs my memory of that quote approximately whited sephulcres. It truly, truly does. i think of i ought to stay faraway from R&S for a on an identical time as, there is effectual little of the two right here.

Answer 7

Unfortunately the media does not regularly broadcast his regular preaching of the Gospel.

But I have read many of his writings and am currently reading his book, Jesus of Nazareth. I highly recommend this very in depth teaching of the Gospel. http://www.ignatius.com/ViewProduct.aspx?SID=1&Product_ID=3060&AFID=42

Answer 8

DIRECTV used to (and may still do it) have the pope's mass from the vatican broadcast live on christmas morning. My ex used to watch it, and I would sit there and watch with her, but I had no idea what he was saying...usually when I hear stuff like that, when it enters my inner ear, it changes to the monotone blabbering similar to Charlie Brown's teacher, and that is all I hear.

Answer 9

Nope. No Pope ever.

I've also never heard the Rev Jesse Jackson or the Rev Martin Luther King preach the gospel.

They may have but I never heard it.

And I lived in the same town as Jesse Jackson for 27 years!

Answer 10

In Italy, JPII (we luv u) ... 2004, general assembly, Vatican. It was in Italian (Latin ... IDK), so I just stood there in awe.

I love watching the mass during the Christmas Eve, broacasting live from the Vatican (with translaters) ... and the Easter Vigil broadcast is cool too!!!

I'm so bummed ... JPII did a "World Youth Day" in my home town, and I wasn't into religion ... so, I missed it --- it was in English, and sooo many ppl turned out. Why, Why was I choosing to be away from God at that moment in my life ... Why???

Answer 11

Yes,often and he preaches in print too
