| Summary, etc. | The Roman Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy (2001) stresses the centrality of the liturgy over popular devotions. The latter should be recognised and encouraged provided they are compatible with the centrality of the liturgy. The first part of the Directory describes the history of the relations between liturgy and popular piety, compiles the various statements of the Magisterium on the subject, and the major principles that flow from it. The second part defines a set of pastoral orientations, namely the priority of the liturgical year in relation to devotional exercises. The remaining parts of the Directory are devoted, respectively, to the veneration of the Blessed Virgin, the veneration of the saints, suffrage for the dead and, finally, shrines and places of pilgrimage.The article then takes a critical look at the Directory. It notes, in particular, that the concept of “popular piety” found therein is limited to the context of worship, whereas in fact it also refers to charitable activity. The “liturgy” is thus reduced to the official worship regulated by the Roman Catholic hierarchy alone, without taking sufficient account of local churches. The Directory appears to refer to a liturgical model that is still far from fulfilling the desire of the Vatican Council for a “fully conscious, active participation of all the people” in liturgical action.It is not enough, therefore, to affirm the primacy of the liturgy, but one needs to ask whether, as things currently stand, the liturgy itself is meaningful to people in their cultural context. Disaffection with regard to liturgical practices is due not only to the rise of individualism: it undoubtedly also has to do with the inadequacy of the liturgy. Popular piety, in turn, also undergoes change and can take on new ritual forms as well as use new media channels; for instance, the television broadcast of the funeral of Princess Diana was watched by millions of people. Another example is the St Valentine’s Day Mass for people in love, held in Graz, Austria, which is the occasion of an astonishingly creative and widely-attended liturgy. Yet another example: rituals of healing also constitute new spaces for popular gatherings.Europe is host to a multi-faceted pluralism of ritual and liturgical activities that derive from popular piety. The liturgy of the Church should be open to these forms of piety, and should allow itself to be renewed by whatever is compatible therein with the Good News. In this perspective, the Directory should be reviewed and updated, bearing in mind the evolution of mentalities and the challenge posed by the revitalisation of the liturgy in the modern social context. |
