Despite utilizing a format with its roots in the Roman Catholic
liturgy, many of these politicized concert masses also reflect the
increasing religious diversification of Western societies. By
introducing non-Catholic and often non-Christian beliefs into
masses that also remain respectful of Christian tradition,
composers in the later twentieth- century have employed the genre
to promote a conciliatory way of being that promotes the value of
heterogeneity and reinforces the need to protect the diversity of
musics, species and spiritualities that enrich life. In combining
the political with the religious, the case studies presented pose
challenges for both supporters and detractors of the secularization
paradigm. Overarchingly, they demonstrate that any binary division
that separates life into either the religious or the secular and
promotes one over the other denies the complexity of lived
experience and constitutes a diminution of what it is to be human.
