Yup, they are starving for the TRUTH. I WANT to hear fire and brimstone homilies. I want the priest to preach against abortion, homosexuality, premarital sex, contracepton, etc etc etc.
I tire of the fluffy make you feel good sermons. I want some meat and potatoes, darn it.
The last time I heard one of those it was from an African priest, probably newly ordained. The africans don't mince words... it was wonderful. I felt like I had gone to a banquet and actually was fed (in addition to the Eucharist of course).
They try to say that "honey attracts more flies than vinegar" with all this "love, love, love" they preach -well, I've got news for them, too much honey makes you sick.........then you NEED vinegar to purge and nourish!
