John Paul II and Benedict XVI… how could you allow this breakdown?
Naturally, to return to the specific issue addressed in Article, You must also be careful not to fall, by reaction, in the aesthetic fetishism certainly cold and unbreathable traditionalist liturgies, which they are perhaps even worse than the Assyrian-Babylonian ballets to the Adriatic above.
Mr. Zamax the expression “fetishism aesthetic of certain cold and unbreathable liturgie traditionalist” I do not think is acceptable because such liturgies are fully valid under the laws of the Church and because the aesthetic element is entirely secondary to the symbolic richness that this liturgy is. Many will see the aesthetic beauty before the symbolic richness is their problem but certainly not of the liturgy itself.
However, push them up against the Assyrian-Babylonian dances seems absurd and because these dances are not permitted in any way but because I wonder how we are manifesting the’ worship of God.
On the subject P Ariel hits the mark because it led to reaffirm the sacrificial aspect of the Mass, aspect that according to Giuseppe Pulcinelli of Famiglia Cristiana, it should be resized in that “in the New Testament texts of the institution of the Eucharist, the cultual-sacrificial technical lexicon never recurs”. propose, for the benefit of all, P Ariel as theologian of the Christian Family 🙂
Let's clear the field of possible misunderstandings immediately. Talking about “aesthetic fetishism” I meant to speak of an atmosphere “cold and unbreathable” that exudes from certain liturgies: it is obvious that this does not depend on the liturgies, but from the way they lived in a certain environment of misunderstanding “traditionalism”. there: this atmosphere can be even worse than that experienced in antics of the opposite sign, in my view.
And the lack of knowledge does nothing but feed a certain "frigidity", that goes with the first love and harmony. Using this term, frigidness, to signify an inability, a refusal, a fear of capture the essence of a thing and to rejoice. In short, a perversion. It applies to the sacred, but also it applies to the profane. That fill labored vanity every aspect of life, the riots, excesses, distortions, the vagaries, vulgarities that ruin the pleasures honest, those intellectual and physical ones, in hindsight are a way to "throw in the cow" is what is beautiful in life, and substitute with fake mountains in the preciousness of the true, and therefore underlie a fear response of the beauty and truth, and indirectly of God. And not just the strength of the pack to turn it into true happiness and pleasure, that to be such must be honest.
(I speak as a sinner, of course.)
