Resumen
Body and Corporeality in the Liturgies of the Pentecostal Movements: the Key to Understanding Proposed by Thomas Csordas · To understand the turning point and the success of Catholics engaged in charismatic movements, we must start from the fact that the great religious traditions have tended towards the confirmation of the Word or of the idea; so that, with the progress of time, they have increasingly distinguished themselves from the spontaneous and affective sources of the spiritual life. In Pentecostal groups, this experience touches in particular the emotional sphere. This develops as an interior liberation that takes shape through various manifestations of enthusiasm that the experiential dimension of the life of faith captures, for example, from the spontaneity of singing in tongues (glossolalia). In particular, during the liturgy, the practice of praying for physical, psychological and spiritual healing, attests, and therefore confirms, the wholeness and wholeness to which the new life in the Spirit extends. This trend, which has put non-verbal language back at the center, linked to the expressions of emotionality, is confirmed by the studies of the anthropologist Thomas Csordas. The author, starting from certain intuitions, later confirmed by neuroscience, analyzes the therapeutic effects of the rituals on the faithful who actively participate in community celebrations. Eventually he reaches a conclusion: the body allows a greater spiritual participation in the liturgical moment; but above all it reveals new aspects such as the ability to actively participate in the healing processes.
