	Catholic Culture : Document Library : Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy: Principles and Guidelines
		The term "popular piety" designates those diverse cultic expressions of a private or community nature which, in the context of the Christian faith, are inspired predominantly not by the Sacred Liturgy but by forms deriving from a particular nation or people or from their culture.
		Popular piety is characterized by a great variety and richness of bodily, gestural and symbolic expressions: kissing or touching images, places, relics and sacred objects; pilgrimages, processions; going bare-footed or on one's knees; kneeling and prostrating; wearing medals and badges...
		The Bishops, therefore, and the rectors of sanctuaries are to ensure that the sacred images produced for the use of the faithful, either in their homes or on their persons, or those borne aloft on their shoulders, are not reduced to banalities, nor risk giving rise to error.

	Father Jack's: Promote Piety
		Piety emphasizes the heart and emotions-not in contradistinction to the mind but complementary to it Piety helps the pilgrim believer become soft, fertile for the Holy Spirit's actions; enables it to be pliant and supple; even godly-God-like.
		She demonstrated piety in various ways: thru her singing-child-like oscillations of joyful melodies, and also thru her walking in the rain and in the Pilgrimage-she was participating in her own way.
		The inward (heart's piety) is naturally expressed in the outer (sacramentals); and, conversely, the outer (objects of devotion) affect the inner (spirit's desires).

	Popular Piety -St. Joseph Catholic Church - Milton, LA
		In the middle ages, the reationship between Liturgy and popular piety is constant and complex, but a dual movement can be detected in that same relationship: the Liturgy inspired and nourished various expressions of popular piety; and several forms of popular piety were assumed by, and integrated into the Liturgy.
		The relationship between the Liturgy and popular piety, in our times, must be approached primarily from the perspective of the directives contained in the constitution Sacrosactum Concilium, which seek to establish an harmonious relationship between both of these expressions of piety, in which popular piety is objectively subordinated to, and directed towards, the Liturgy(42).
		Any unilateral exaltation of popular piety which fails to take account of the Liturgy, is inconsistent with the fact that the essential elements of the Liturgy derive from the will of Christ himself, and is unable to emphasize its indispensable sotereological and doxological importance.

		True piety does not consist in a fear which willingly indeed flees God’s judgment, but since it cannot escape is terrified.

		Yet in order that my readers may understand what piety really is, I shall append Cicero’s words from the Topics (2390): Equity is also said to have three parts: one pertains to the gods in heaven, the second to the spirits of the departed, the third to men.

		i): "Piety, on her day, provides a banquet, because she fills the inmost recesses of the heart with works of mercy." Now the works of mercy are to be done to all, according to Augustine (De Doctr.
		Dei x), "the term piety is often used in connection with works of mercy, in the language of the common people; the reason for which I consider to be the fact that God Himself has declared that these works are more pleasing to Him than sacrifices.
		The relations of a man with his kindred and fellow-citizens are more referable to the principles of his being than other relations: wherefore the term piety is more applicable to them.
