„Nie wolno nam zamieniać liturgii ani w muzeum niezmiennych form, ani w nieustanne laboratorium”

In brief

Bishop García warned that the liturgy must not be turned into a museum of unchanging forms or a constant laboratory. Speaking on the inculturation of the liturgy in mission churches, the bishop stated that local songs, dances, or instruments should not be mechanically added to celebrations.

The bishop emphasized that no culture is the Gospel itself. He explained that because culture contains both seeds of the Word and wounds of sin, it must undergo evangelical discernment. García identified three specific risks during this process: unnecessary innovations, syncretism, and other unspecified threats.
