This thesis addresses the 'authority' of the lay preacher within the Roman Catholic tradition and specifically within a 24 year period (1980-2004), and how that authority unfolded within the Diocese of Rochester, New York. Through research, personal experience, interviews with parishioners and lay preachers, as well as the Bishop of the Diocese, the author will show that the authority of the lay preacher does exists, but often not in the traditional manner understood by some Roman Catholics. Additionally, this thesis will help lay preachers understand the complex positive and negative reactions to their preaching, and demonstrate a developing and changing understanding of authority within the Roman Catholic Church.
