Abstract

104
Throughout the twentieth century, certain schools of thought and arts postulated the end of the «form». This crisis of the «language of forms» has also affected seriously the Church’s liturgical praxis during the past fifty years. The present study suggests a return to the «rigor» of the liturgy as a means to overcome the temptation to nihilism and relativism characteristic of the present moment. In his exposition, the author uses Romano Guardini’s proposal and assertion of the «form» as a key category for understanding the true nature of ecclesiastical worship.
