 DIRECTORY ON POPULAR PIETY AND THE LITURGY
The expression "pious exercise" in this Directory refers to those public or private expressions of Christian piety which, although not part of the Liturgy, are considered to be in harmony with the spirit, norms, and rhythms of the Liturgy.
On the one hand, a superimposing of pious and devotional practices on the Liturgy so as to differentiate their language, rhythm, course, and theological emphasis from those of the corresponding liturgical action, must be avoided, while any form of competition with or opposition to the liturgical actions, where such exists, must also be resolved.
While at one level pious exercises do not concentrate on the essential elements of the sacramental life, at another, it has to be remembered, they are in many cases popular in origin and come directly from the people, and have been formulated in the language of the people, within the framework of the Catholic faith.

Britain's former ambassador to Uzbekistan has accused Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, of "pious hypocrisies" over his statements condemning the shootings of up to 500 anti-government demonstrators by troops in the Uzbek capital.
Craig Murray, who quit the Foreign Office last year after claiming that it was complicit in the Uzbek government's human rights abuses, said that Mr Straw had issued "platitudes" rather than a proper call for reform.
