Summary/Abstract: Natural form of transmission of the faith is the oral teaching. The sermons and homilies are its special form. Over the centuries, many materials have been published as homiletic. The recent form of homilies publication is YouTube. The search results for the word “homily” refers to about 253 000 materials, while the querry about “sermon” indicates 53 000 results on the Polish version of YouTube. In this study the author tries to answer the question: can the internet moveis be considerated as the contemporary homiliriums? The study, based on some examples, gives the answer: yes. The formal difference between the set sermon pub- lished as a book and obtained by On-line access is the a data carrier. It is worth to underline that the publication in audio-visual form has more important characteristics of a spoken homily than its printed version. Of course the On-line resources of the homilies have not only van- tages, but we shouldn’t fear to use them
