Abstract

The set of Christian religious practices that are usually classified as religion, piety or Catholicism has been one of the main subjects of theological thinking in Latin America. The approach developed on this topic has been essentially normative-pastoral. With the declaration of piety as a locus theologicus (EG 126), however, the need to deepen a fundamental theological reflection on this constitutive reality of the Latin American Church has become evident. This article presents the results of the research project entitled Aesthetic-theological foundations of popular piety, defining, first of all, a specific empirical point of reference, the religious feast, to then proceed to elucidate in what sense and how it can be constituted as a theological place.
