This course will be an overview of the historical evolution and ongoing theological reflection on the Church's worship as found in the Catholic Tradition. We will consider questions such as: 1) How has the "text" of the Church's worship evolved in historical, cultural and pastoral "context"? 2) How has celebration of the Church's liturgy been a source of theology and expression of Christian identity and transformation? 3) What are the basic principles of worship articulated in Vatican II's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy and subsequent documents? Examination of the Church's worship will be explored through the lens of: paschal mystery, revelation, sacramentality, symbol, word, proclamation and liturgical arts. Therefore, both ancient texts, as well as historical and theological analysis by contemporary theologians will be used. For example, we will consider the issues that led the bishops at Vatican II to reform the Missal of Pius V, examine the Council's Document on the Liturgy, and the documents issued by the Congregation for Divine Worship since Vatican II, including most recent documents and publications concerning the Roman Missal. The goal of the course will be to arrive at a fuller understanding of the theological and spiritual contexts that underscore the Liturgy of Word and Sacrament.
