Praxis: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Faith and Justice
Abstract
In North America, across the political spectrum, we have a strong tendency to reduce religion to nothing more than a tool to promote our own socio-political views. Tis is a natural consequence of our hyper-polarized culture and our impoverished view of “religion.” It is also, however, a problem—particularly for those inspired by the call to renewal through an integration of the quest for social justice and the pursuit of the spiritual life. By focusing on the value of participating in religious liturgy, I show how a renewed respect for religion can help the proponents of social justice fulfill some of the foundational desires of the original aggiornamento movement and, thereby, to bring to fruition some of its dormant promise. Tis includes, in particular, the desire for social harmony and the desire to pay greater attention to our concrete reality.
