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.
