In Search for a Definition of Popular Religiosity

Summary/Abstract: The author critically reviews various definitions of popular religiosity, that he names: descriptive, enculurational, existential, evangelisational, and dialectical definition. He proposes his own definition, which comprises basic elements of the formerly mentioned ones. He defines popular religiosity as a complex reality consisting of an array o f religious attitudes and practices in different cultural and historical settings, and places it in a space confined by liturgy on the one hand, and by magic and superstition on the other. Some characteristics of popular religiosity can help in the processes of evangelisation, in pastoral activities, as well as in the struggle for social justice.
