This is a distortion, and a bad one at that, of exactly what Catholics believe (not to mention protestants in general). In EVERY denomination, there is a sermon (or homily) at some point during the mass or service. This is true for Catholics, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Baptists, Pentacostals, and many non-denominational churches.

The fact that the Bible is published far and wide, with the explicit blessing of all those denominations, greatly undermines your assertion. Perhaps this argument was valid 500 years ago, when Bibles were not a household item, but it's dubious at best today.
