| | The directory is aimed at getting bishops and those the cardinal called "liturgical purists" to support expressions of popular piety, to educate the faithful about their connection to the fundamentals of Christian faith and to "purify" them of any tendency toward superstition, he said. | | | Cardinal Medina said Christians have faith that "for the Lord there is not a big difference between resurrecting a body which has been buried for 100 years or which has been cremated." | | | Because they truly are popular and have arisen from the culture and faith of particular peoples, some of the devotions "may seem strange in some parts of the world, but for centuries they have been expressions of faith and have led to a deepening of faith," he said. |
