Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermon Plans: For All the Sundays of the Year; With a Chapter on How and What to Preach I have no intention whatever of writing a treatise on sacred eloquence. I have something altogether different in view. The preacher of the Gospel must address the people of his age as well as the theologian. Unless we propose to shut ourselves up in a solitude more apart from the busy world around us than was the ancient Thebaid, we cannot fail to recognize that in our days everything is being questioned; that on every side our contemporaries are demanding an answer to the problems of the age. The most obstinate conservative must face this curious and troubled humanity of the twentieth century, and in view of its new problems or of its old problems in a new dress preach to it in a language it can understand. True, indeed, we cannot set aside one jot or tittle of the Catholic dogmas handed down to us from the beginning. As Catholics, as priests of God, we have no intention whatever of denying the very principle of our Catholic life, the tradition of the ancient faith. But the question is: How are we to teach this eternal truth to our contemporaries? What is the best, the most practical, the most fruitful way of adapting this immutable truth to the actual needs and requirements of the present generation? It is of course true that in every age men have taken food and drink but it is equally true that education, environment, and the different stages of civilization have a great influence on the kinds of food that different peoples favor, and on the manner in which they prepare it. A fisherman living for days and nights on his little vessel off the banks of Newfoundland will enjoy food that would sicken a Parisian club-man; a Frank of the time of Clovis might hardly appreciate the delicacies of the modern French chef. It is the same with the banquet of the truth of God. I hardly think that we could be accused of truckling to the spirit of the age if we say that a priest ought not to address an audience of carefully instructed Catholics in the same way that he would an audience of skeptics, unbelievers, indifferentists and agnostics.
