Dear Albert, Would you like a lay person without a medical degree to operate on you? Then why pray tell are you confident that lay people can preach the word of God better than priests. I've been to Pota, Kerala, where lay people preach. Their interpretations of the word of God are arbitrary, hollow, without substantive reading or understanding of the matter. They lead gullible people astray, they corrupt all that is good about religion and serve it on a platter of untruths.
Comment: Only a Deacon, Priest and higher ups can read the Gospel and preach; this is as per the rules of the Church ! Can you imagine, all those that I recently mentioned, (weekend drivers ) Who cheat and rob and who have no moral conscience, like the Goa MLA's, being invited to preach !! Also Joe U.K.'s 'friend' who gives out Holy Communion on a Sunday, as well as the numerous Eucharistic Ministers that we have here in London, who are not fit for the job and are committing sacrilege. -- DEV BOREM KORUM.
