Lil Red Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 without knowing the culture, and what is particular to Mass in Malawi, i think it seems a joyful celebration.[quote name='katholikkid' timestamp='1308699228' post='2257059'] its refreshing to see a packed standing room only church [/quote] i don't know about you, but it seems Christmas and Easter are usually packed SRO Masses...

ryansouf504 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) [size="3"]Considering the Eucharist as being celebrated among a diverse cultural of peoples, it is important to understand how each culture has learned to express Jesus Christ in its own way[/size][size="4"].[/size][size="3"]Throughout the history of the Catholic Church there has been a cultural and celebratory relationship between the Church and different human cultures[/size][size="4"].[/size][size="3"] Inculturation is the incarnation of the Gospel in autonomous cultures and at the same time the introduction of these cultures into the life of the Church[/size][size="4"].[/size]([size="3"]John Paul II, encyclical [i]Slavorum Apostoli,[/i] June 2,1985, No. 21) [/size][size="3"]The understanding of inculturation in the liturgy has been such that: [/size] [b][size="3"]"the liturgy of the Church must not be foreign to any country, people or individual, and at the same time it should transcend the particularity of race and nation[/size][size="4"].[/size][size="3"] It must be capable of expressing itself in every human culture, all the while maintaining its identity through fidelity to the tradition which comes to it from the Lord[/size][size="4"].[/size][/b][b]"([/b][size="3"]Inculturation and the Roman Liturgy, [i]Varietates Legitimae[/i]. Congregation of Divine Worship and the Discipline on the Sacraments. March 29[sup]th[/sup], 2004. )[/size] [size="3"]Throughout the history of the Church there has been several ways of understanding the role of growing cultures in the life of the Church[/size][size="4"].[/size] [size="3"] Nevertheless, the Church has known, still knows, and permits different forms of liturgical practice[/size][size="4"].[/size][size="3"] The Second Vatican Council reiterated this notion by stating, "Even in the liturgy the Church has no wish to impose a rigid uniformity in matters that do not affect the faith or the good of the whole community[/size][size="4"].[/size][size="3"]"[size="3"] (Sacrosanctum Concilum no. 37)[/size] Therefore, a liturgical norm that is not observed in the Western culture but is still practiced with reverence and in the spirit of the liturgy is welcomed with truth and understanding[/size][size="4"].[/size] I believe this video is an complete conformity to what our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI expressed in 2005 to the World Synods of Bishops. Even though Pope Benedict (and so do I, if that means anything) encourages wider knowledge and use of the mass prayers in Latin, Gregorian Chant, and uniformity within the forms of the liturgical texts, he also [size="3"]encouraged people of different cultures to stay true to their [/size] [size="3"]cultural roots. Thanks for sharing this video! [/size] Edited June 21, 2011 by ryansouf504 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faithcecelia Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Just my sort of Mass! It looks absolutely amazing! I love lively Masses like that, where the joy of Christ is just bubbling over and pouring out of the whole congregation as they worship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKolbe Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 [quote name='katholikkid' timestamp='1308700713' post='2257073'] to us yes to them no. [/quote] not exactly, but nice try..thanks for the benefit of the doubt though...awfully charitable of you... I am a bit sixes and sevens because I am rather unfamiliar with the culture, and further unaware if that even matters as it relates to dancing at the Holy Sacrifice of The Mass. It seems like they are enjoying themselves, but I am unaware of how relevant that is. It's one of those things where one tries to have an open mind, but really is not exactly sure what to make of it.

Vincent Vega Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I would love to hear Cardinal Arinze speak about this video (not being snarky, I'd really love to hear what he thinks about this, whether it's appropriate given the culture and setting, etc.).
