The Scholastic DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS: For three-and-a-half years the student body in general and the Scholastic in particular have refrained from commenting formally on the Sunday sermon situation in Sacred Heart Church. Perhaps this has been because of the conditioned timidity of the layman outside the sanctuary to question any pronouncements emanating from the clergy within; M^i§iilMPl^ or perhaps because of a general disinterest in the problem as being both ir relevant and irremediable. But it is a matter of great importance to the laity, Vol. 103 No. 15 for whom the sermon presents either an aid or a deterrent to worship at Mass. And concern in the situation is quite pertinent to us as students at a Catholic Mar. 9, 1962 university, where, if anywhere, there is an opportunity for a reflective approach to improvement. In an article entitled "The Sermon as Part of the Mass" (Homiletic & Pastoral Founded 1867 Review, LX, 517-526), Rev. William O'Shea, S.S., considering the traditional view of the sermon and certain contemporary European movements to relate edifor-in-chief it more closely with the Mass, states that "the sermon at Mass is an integral part of the Mass itself, and preaching at Mass is above all else an unfolding THOMAS WEISS of the texts of the Missal, bringing to light the teaching they contain and con fronting this present congregation with the word of life." This is not to say associate editor that the Mass texts should be used as a ginunick to introduce some topic on MICHAEL ZWETTLER which the preacher desires to speak, unrelated to the liturgy of the day. Nor should they be used as the basis for some ten-or fifteen-minute limping analogy exhorting moral perfection in obvious and simplified terms. On the other hand, news editor the sermon is meant to be neither a capsule lecture in philosophy, nor a Sunday JOHN McCABE, supplement to the University's theology courses. As Rev. O'Shea says: Ken Arnold, Joe Caspar, Pete Clark, Jim Wyrsch. The whole Mass is ihercfore a proclamation of the Gospel. ... The sermon at Mass !s only the further development of this proclamation — it cannot be other than the expansion and application of this newt sloff—John Buckley, Vince De Courjey, great theme.
