Popular Devotional Practices: Basic Questions and Answers
by
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
Description
The Bishops issued this document at their November 2003 Conference. They hope to encourage the faithful to make use of sound devotional practices and to have a fuller understanding of the proper role of popular piety. "In genuine forms of popular piety, the Gospel message assimilates expressive forms particular to a given culture while also permeating the consciousness of that culture with the content of the Gospel," the bishops' conference recently wrote in a statement, quoting from the "Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy."
