Liturgy in Medellin: after 50 years is it still up-to-date nowadays? Elements for a liturgical reflection from the Conclusions of Medellin

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the conception of Medellin's liturgy inherited from Sacrosanctum Concilium and updated in the Church of Latin America. This path will be wrought from the founding context of Medellin, through the texts where the elements that give liturgy the originality of application of a renewed liturgy by the 2nd Conference will be perceived. The actuality of Medellín will be presented by the inherited method of see-judge-act that characterises the pastoral analysis of the Latin American Church, through pastorality of its documents and through the power of its message that still provokes questions when the ministry can not meet the demands of current era.
