Marialis Cultus is the title of a Mariological Apostolic Letter by Pope Paul VI issued on February 2, 1974.〔(Pope Paul VI's Apostolic Letter Marialis Cultus )〕〔Ann Ball, 2003 ''Encyclopedia of Catholic Devotions and Practices'' ISBN 0-87973-910-X page 14〕〔Peter Stravinskas, 2002, ''Catholic Dictionary'', OSV Press ISBN 978-0-87973-390-2 pages 370-371〕 The letter is subtitled: "''For the Right Ordering and Development of Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary''". The document focuses on Marian devotions and clarifies the way the Roman Catholic Church celebrates liturgies that commemorate Mary. The preparation of the document reportedly took 4 years.〔(History of Marialis Cultus at University of Dayton )〕 The Apostolic Letter has three part: : *Part 1 discusses the history of Marian devotions and their rationale. : *Part 2 focuses on what should/will take place in Marian devotions in the future. : *Part 3 refers to the Angelus and the Rosary. It encourages the Angelus prayer, and devotes 14 separate articles to the Rosary. ''Marialis Cultus'' exhorted to correct devotion – that is, correct liturgical celebration and public expression of devotion based on doctrinal criteria. It noted that every element of the church’s prayer life, including Marian devotions, should draw its inspiration from the Bible, and should harmonize with the liturgy.〔(McBrien, "Renewal of authentic Marian piety needed", ''Catholic Courier'', Diocese of Rochester, New York )〕 The conclusion to the document emphasizes the theological and pastoral value of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. ==See also== * Mariology * Redemptoris Mater * Marian papal encyclicals and Apostolic Letters 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marialis Cultus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
