Pope Francis advises priests to keep homilies under 8 minutes to maintain congregation attention.
Pope Francis advises priests to keep their homilies brief, no more than 8 minutes, to prevent congregation members from dozing off.

This advice comes from his own observation that priests sometimes talk too much, resulting in unclear messages.
