2006 Catholic Press Association Award Winner
After suffering an eclipse during the post-Vatican II liturgical
reform, popular piety has regained its vital role in the spiritual
life of Catholics. In response to its re-emergence, the
Congregation for divine Worship and the Discipline of the
Sacraments issued the "Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy"
on December 17, 2001. The "Directory" was written for bishops and
their collaborators as a pastoral guide addressing the relationship
between liturgy and popular piety. "Directory on Popular Piety and
the Liturgy: Principles and Guidelines, A Commentary" by Peter C.
Phan provides a chapter-by-chapter commentary on the "Directory,"
summarizing its contents, highlighting its strengths and
weaknesses, and offering suggestions on how devotional practices
can be implemented in the United States. For liturgists, religious
educators and students, pastoral leaders, and other interested
Christians, this volume is helpful toward promoting a vigorous and
authentic devotional life in the community, while respecting the
preeminence of liturgical worship.
"The Commentary" begins with a preface by Peter C. Phan and an
introduction by James Empereur, entitled Popular Piety and the
Liturgy: Principles and Guidelines." Chapters in Part One:
"Emerging Trends: History, Magisterium, Theology" are *Liturgy and
Popular Piety in a Historical Perspective, - by Mark R. Francis;
*Liturgy and Popular Piety in the Church's Magisterium, - by Peter
Fink; and *Theological Principles for an Evaluation and Renewal of
Popular Piety, - by Nathan Mitchell. Chapters in Part Two:
"Guidelines for the Harmonization of Popular Piety with the
Liturgy" are *The Liturgical Year and Popular Piety, - by Keith F.
Pecklers; *Veneration of the Holy Mother of God, - by Joyce Ann
Zimmerman; *Veneration of the Saints and Beati, - by Rail Gomez;
*Suffrage for the Dead, - by Peter C. Phan; *Shrines and
Pilgrimages, - by Ana Maria Pineda. Concludes with a bibliography
that presents the most significant recent writings on popular piety
and liturgy, by Robert Brancatelli.
"Peter C. Phan, PhD, is the Ignacio Ellacuria Professor of
Catholic Social Thought at Georgetown University.""
