Nooooo, those things you call “Sermons” we call Homilies.
Readings from the Bible are just that, readings from the Bible.
We get one Old Testament, one New Testament and a Gospel reading at each Holy Mass then the Priest talks. We even use the Psalms as responses to prayers!
Amazing isn’t it?

Sounds very different in some ways and in others...not so different at all.

Not really. It's scripted simplistic and void of any real meaning. “They honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me.” Quick, what's that from parishioner?

Almost all of the mass is scripture when you get right down to it.
