The problem is fags have no right to subvert the Christian orthodox teachings, which they constantly try to do.

That's not a Protestant vs Catholic issue it's a difference between sermon based services and liturgy based services. There are mainline denominations which are mostly liturgy based such as Anglicanism and Lutheranism and the high church currents within these. Sermon based services are a modern phenomena taking place under the influence of Evangelical Protestantism. The impulse among Catholics in recent times to not be "cultural Catholics" is probably another manifestation of this Evangelical influence. And traditional apostolic denoms in America have also taken to sermonizing recently.

Really I think having sermons every week is a bit forced and can sound hollow as a result. Not because the sermon might be considered boring but because the person giving the sermon has to constantly find something to talk about every week. All because of a feigned attempt to pander to Protestant influence.

The second video is a Q&A and the first is something I would hesitate to call a "sermon." It's also a very extreme example, and the fellow probably isn't even really a Protestant. Baptists kind of straddle the line, with some Baptist traditions being almost as old as the Reformation, others pretty much directly following the stream of the Radical or Anabaptist Reformation (which is NOT Protestant), and most just being somewhere in between at varying distances and degrees. The Protestant churches I came out of tended to sound more like the second video than the first.

I'd bet this guy inherited his congregation from his daddy, was never ordained in his life, and probably never went to seminary, never came under care of any regional ecclesiastical body, never spent a period of licensure and examination by said ecclesiastical body in theology, the English Bible, the original languages of Scripture, pastoral issues, or ecclesiastical history.

It kind of depends. If you've got a really sound lectionary, half of the work is done for you and you don't have to recreate the wheel every time. Also, if you follow the lectio continua (preaching through entire books of the bible for as many Sundays as it takes), you have a wealth of varying material to work with. Most evangelicals really tend to cover a very limited range of topics, which by the way usually leads to them veering into areas the Bible never really covers, like how to invest your money, how to plan your career, how to make sex with your wife more exciting, and all the major concerns of bored, fat, white suburbanites.

Thinly veiled anti-Catholic thread.
