El cristianismo y el desarrollo de la subjetividad en Occidente

El caso de la religión popular

Abstract

In this article the author raises that the popular religions, and in individual the Catholicism in countries like México, offer to the faithful a characteristic cosmovision and ethos. One talks about to the practice of the Catholicism produced from the marginal cultures. The reason of the difference between the official religion and the popular one, says us to the author, is mainly anthropological: the two experiences are codified from different cultures. The popular religion is a peculiar expression of human subjectivity, as communitarian impulse. However the official is an individual dimension. The difference, therefore is not in more or less rationality, in more or less subjectivity, but in the different socio cultural parameters, It defines the systematization and practice of the popular religion by the marginal classes as average of cultural affirmation and of it practices social of liberation.
