Pope to deliver Homily via Satellite
Posted May 8, 2008 , By Joshua LeBlanc
CNS and the National Catholic Register are both reporting that the Holy Father will deliver the Homily for the Closing Mass of the Eucharistic Congress next Month in Quebec via Satellite. For me this bring up a whole new issue of questions - apparently there is no requirement that the person who gives the homily be physically present. What about it being live? Does an individual who delivers a homily have to give that homily life. It would seem to me that from past experiences in which the Homily in parishes have been replaced with a recorded message from the bishop that one would not have to be neither physically present nor would the homily have to be live.
If this is the case, then what would prevent Father or Deacon from pre-recording a homily in those instances where there would be a "Communion Service" without the presence of a Deacon? I realize this isn't ideal but the question is still there.
