The final document of the Amazon synod, after voting this afternoon on each individual paragraph, was passed in its entirety. A 2\/3 majority was required for passage. <\/em>Pray Tell offers a quick, unofficial translation from the Spanish<\/a> of articles 116-119 which treats inculturation of the liturgy. (Corrections and improvements from readers are welcome.) The text is noteworthy for being carefully written and based upon the prescriptions of the Second Vatican Council and the teaching of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This document now goes to Pope Francis, who has final authority to accept or adopt any of its recommendations.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

D. Rite for Native Peoples<\/p>\n\n\n\n

116. The Second\nVatican Council opened spaces for liturgical pluralism \u201cfor legitimate\nvariations and adaptations to different groups, regions, and peoples\u201d (SC 38).\nIn this sense, the liturgy must respond to culture in order to be the source\nand summit of the Christian life (cf. SC 10) and be experienced as linked to\nthe sufferings and joys of the people. We must give an authentically Catholic\nresponse to the request of the Amazonian communities to adapt the liturgy by\nvaluing their native worldview, traditions, symbols and rites that include\ntranscendent, communitarian, and ecological dimensions.  [Passed\n147-22]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

117. In the\nCatholic Church there are 23 different rites, a clear sign of a tradition which,\nsince the earliest centuries, has sought to inculturate the contents of faith\nand its celebration through a language as coherent as possible with the mystery\nto be expressed. All these traditions have their origin in the function of the\nmission of the Church: \u201cChurches of the same geographical and cultural area\ncame to celebrate the mystery of Christ through particular expressions\ncharacterized by the culture: in the tradition of the \u2018deposit of faith,\u2019 in\nliturgical symbolism, in the organization of fraternal communion, in the\ntheological understanding of the mysteries, and in various forms of holiness.\u201d  (CCC 1202; cf. also CCC 1200-1206). [Passed 140 to 27]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

118. It is\nnecessary that the Church, in its tireless labor of evangelization, work so\nthat the process of inculturation of the faith be expressed in the most\ncoherent ways, so that it can also be celebrated and lived according to the\nlanguages of the Amazonian peoples. It is urgent to form committees for translation\nand writing for biblical and liturgical texts in the unique languages of different\nlocales, with the necessary resources, preserving the matter of the sacraments\nand adapting them in form, without losing sight of what is essential. In this\nsense it is necessary to encourage music and singing, all of which is accepted into\nand encouraged by the liturgy. [Passed 156\nto 12]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

119. The new organization\nof the Church in the Amazon must form a competent commission for studying and\ndialoguing, according to uses and customs of ancestral peoples, on the development\nof an Amazonian rite which expresses the Amazonian liturgical, theological,\ndisciplinary, and spiritual patrimony, with special reference to what the Lumen Gentium<\/em> affirms for Oriental\nchurches (cf. LG 23). This would add to the rites already present in the\nChurch, enriching the work of evangelization, the ability to express the faith\nin one’s own culture, and the sense of decentralization and collegiality which\nare able to express the catholicity of the Church. There could also be study of\nand proposals for how to enrich church rites with the ways in which these\npeoples care for their territory and relate to their waters.
