Homilies about scandal

Why Hypocrisy Drives People Away From God

Father Baron

The homily emphasizes two key interpretations of Jesus' command to 'speak in the light what you hear in the darkness': evangelization and avoiding hypocrisy. The priest stresses that Catholics must proclaim the faith they learn in church to the world, and live authentically, avoiding a double life, especially online. He uses the priest abuse scandal as a stark example of how hypocrisy can drive people away from the Church and act as a counter-witness to the Gospel.
