El subsecretario de Culto Divino recuerda a los obispos los límites de la inculturación: «La liturgia pertenece a Cristo y a la Iglesia»

In brief

Monsignor Aurelio García Macías, the undersecretary of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, told bishops that the liturgy belongs to Christ and the Church. Speaking to 49 participants, he noted that inculturation does not allow for the arbitrary introduction of cultural elements into celebrations.

García Macías stated that inculturation does not justify syncretism, folklore, or constant innovation. He emphasized that these practices must not replace the established liturgical norms of the Church.
