Philosophy and Liturgy - Update 4
Update from the Philosophy and Liturgy conference:
Angelo Cardita of the Advanced Liturgical Institute in Barcelona called for a more sophisticated model for thinking of ritual and belief--or “ritual action and critical thought.” After surveying existing material on the relationship between worship and belief--including Vatican II’s Sacrosanctum Concilium--Cardita gave this conclusion, as stated on his outline: “Philosophy is called to create a hermeneutical ‘context’--for Liturgy’s Practice and Wisdom--in such a way that the religious intentional ‘pretext’ can be re-proposed to the socio-anthropological ‘text.’”
The first respondent said this paper was a classic example of how this conference represents an opportunity for new understanding about science, religion, sociology, worship, and how they relate and interact--and for new opportunity for fresh dialogue among Christians, Jews, and Muslims about the deeper significance of their liturgical practice.
