Manage episode 442338292 series 3494416
Liturgical abuses are becoming more disturbing in many churches in Africa. This is the conclusion of Sr Leonida Katunge who speaks on why some strange rituals and practices invented by some priests in the Catholic liturgy are liturgical abuses that need to be stamped out immediately in Africa. But in order for this to happen, there is the need, she argues, to deepen liturgical formation for priests and other pastoral agents. In addition, there is the need to deepen the faith of the People of God and to address some of the root causes of liturgical abuses and the blind and uncritical adoption of practices from the Pentecostal churches and aspects of African traditional religions. Sr Katunge shows us how to address these liturgical abuses, and improve the quality, beauty, and solemnity of our liturgical worship in Africa.
