Christ Omitted

A priest convention speaker remarked that we do quite a good job of preaching the church, but not so good at preaching Christ.  The speaker had done quite a few interviews in her goings around the country to Catholic venues.  I think she is onto something that is so.  I hear priests talk about "Holy Mother Church says," and then they go on to speak about some rule or issue that Christ never or rarely addressed.  If we are losing membership maybe it is because people hunger for Jesus and the Good News?  My friends who left are not saying.  He did say he came to save sinners.  I always thought that was good news.
