Vernacular Languages in Pastoral Care and Liturgical Celebrations

More about the book

Exploring the significance of vernacular languages in the liturgy, this work highlights the Vatican II Council's endorsement of their use to deepen the understanding of Christian mysteries. It emphasizes that native languages are crucial for cultural identity, unity, and clarity in faith. By examining the potential for systematic inculturation, the book argues that a genuine understanding and practice of Christianity must resonate within each cultural context, ensuring that faith is both comprehensible and relevant while maintaining the Church's overall unity.
