The relationship between Church and Liturgy: On the Reception of the Second Vatican Council

The proposed study recalls the intentions and goals of the liturgical reform initiated by the Second Vatican Council. The author describes the interaction between church and liturgy: on the one hand various ecclesiologies produce various liturgical forms; on the other hand, it is possible to establish ecclesiology on the Eucharist. Finally the author tries to suggest the ways, in which it is possible to remain true to the Council and at the same time answer the upcoming challenges.
