What about getting a Script of
          the Homily at a Catholic Mass?
                                                  

Scripts are just guidelines for speech preparation intended for the speaker. 

Speakers are often off-script.  Also, scripts don’t capture nonverbal cues like laughter and humor, or body language.  Scripts are disconnecting to real time community participation. The spiritual essence is lost. Real time communication is experience sharing and connection.  If a script was sufficient and effective, why not just hand out a script to everyone?

Some priests don’t write homilies and wing it.  Sometimes priests who do write them often forget to give you a copy in advance, or don’t feel comfortable giving it to you. A prepared script is often unreliable.

"You get the jokes, the satire, the innuendo. You have full access. You are an equal participant. That’s CART Captioning. That’s Communication Access Realtime Translation.”  (Source:  http://www.realtimeworldwide.com/services/cart-communication-access-realtime-translation/)

"What does it mean for communication to be “effective”? Simply put, “effective communication” means that whatever is written or spoken must be as clear and understandable to people with disabilities as it is for people who do not have disabilities."
