I heard a sermon today along this line. The priest gave a litany of offenses then suddenly stopped with a moral. It took about 5 minutes.
.
He started by saying this current Pope is probably not going to be recognized as one of the better popes in history, after all, we have had bad popes in the past. I suppose that was his way of being gently sarcastic.
.
Then he gave some hypotheticals such as, What if the pope were to deny the existence of a Catholic God, or what if he removed the restrictions for reception of Communion which have been in place against divorced Catholics openly co-habitating without marriage, or what if he were to praise Protestant heresiarchs while he punishes traditional Catholics... It went on for a couple of minutes with about 10 such examples. Everyone knows what he's talking about but it's a little weird to hear it presented in such a roundabout manner.
.
Then he suddenly ended it all with saying:  Our Lord said wide is the path that leads to destruction and narrow is the gate that leads to life and few there are who find it; as for me, I'll choose the narrow gate and the straight way. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. The sermon was over.
.
I got the feeling he had been getting upset with sedevacantist arguments and he was being brief just to irritate them.

You kinda lost me!

What's the point of a sermon again?
Is it to leave the "flock" with yet more "feelz" and impressions?
Was the objective cleared in the given instance?
Is his objective, the objective?
