        Homilies at ecclesial churches are always shorter than sermons at evangelical/charismatic churches. This isn't news.

        @CNN @ABC @NYTIMES @WASHINGTONPOST @MSNBC @CBSNEWS @FOXNEWS @AP @BBCWorld @Reuters That's my exact point. Too much hollering and screaming on Sunday. On Monday the Sunday church clothes comes off. And many are back to their same everday b s.
