Green Shoots: Speaking off-the-cuff can be dangerous

These guys studied for years in the seminary so that they could help and guide the flock. Every Mass service has a decent amount of time for the sermon where the priest gets the mic to preach to the congregation. He has a captive audience – you have to listen to what he says, and you don’t get to discuss and argue about what he is saying, unless he is inclined to invite participation and conversation.
