The Liturgy and the Teaching of Pope Francis

Tittle: The Liturgy and the Teaching of Pope Francis The thesis follows up a question of how the topic of the liturgy is present in Pope Francis's teaching, what is the place of the liturgy in his pastoral office, and what aspects of the church liturgy are specifically important to him. In the beginning of my study, I will outline the basic definitions of the Pope's teaching, and refer to the character of Pope Francis himself. Later on I will introduce texts and passages, in which Pope Francis mentions liturgy, and then I will focus on selected aspects, and compare them to the general conception of these aspects in the context of church documents.
