This diocese is OUT TO LUNCH!
There are only two types of person who can deliver a homily (preach) at Mass: a deacon and a priest!
Ooohhh...this really gets my blood up. This is the exact same kind of liturgical abuse that was underway at the parish I used to attend here in San Antonio.
The only thing worse that I've seen is an extraordinary minister (female) of communion saying the consecrating prayers along with the priest. This was in Corpus Christi about a month ago - and the diocese there responded quickly and properly.
I can't say as much for my archdiocese here in San Antonio.

What a coincidence! A similar situation occured in the Diocese of Rochester ... AND ... in a parish by the name of Corpus Christi! The difference being that it took Vatican intervention to put a halt to the abuse.
