摘要：Public speaking is always in the domain of rhetoric. Preaching during the mass is certainly a rhetorical speaking. Because of the frequency of public speaking priests could be referred as speaking professionals. Did the moral of preaching reached the audience depend mostly on speaking skills of the priests. For the purpose of this paper 27 masses which were broadcasted on Croatian television were analyzed. Analysis had two aspects: rhetorical design especially rhetorical structure and figurativeness and analysis of preacher’s performance. Results showed that particular preachers had good performance which means speaking (not reading), elegancy and fluency and good rhetorical structure and figures of speech. However, most priests were reading and did not pay much attention nor on performance nor rhetorical structure. It can be concluded that speaking skills of priests are relinquish on fortune of natural oratory skills and not on systematic oratory education.
