Projection onto St. Joseph

The Holy Family devotion as a logical consequence of the development of Latin popular piety. If only Fr. Louis Bouyer were still here to comment on this. Moreover, could St. Joseph be exploited by Latin progs to subvert patriarchy, because they have forgotten the authority of God? Certainly.

I pray that every family may feel the living presence of the Holy Family of Nazareth in their own home, that they may fill our small domestic communities with sincere and generous love, a source of joy even in trials and difficulties. #AmorisLaetitia pic.twitter.com/ku78PZroiC

A Two-Tier Spirituality?

CWR: Spiritual direction and the role of the laity by Russell Shaw

What Would Fr. Bouyer Say in Response?

To the juxtaposition of St. Teresa of Avila and the liturgy:

CWR: Saint Teresa of Jesus and the Search for the Sacred by Fr. Erik Varden, OCSO
Does the Church’s liturgy enable, now, the expression and communication of sacred realities? Is the ‘sacred’ still a meaningful category?
