Considering the number of times I have seen all sorts of people give the homily, I thought this was the norm in the NO. Thanks for enlightening me. Just goes to show you poche, NO Masses are riddled with abuse because they are set up for abuse. From poorly formed priests to deliberate attempts at subverting the church.
But the NO mentality eventually infiltrated the TLM Indult at our church. And yes, the pastor allowed someone other than the priest, someone raising funds for an overseas mission, to speak during the homily.
