La anemia simbólica como epicentro antropológico de la desacramentalización contemporánea

Abstract

We suggest an all-inclusive definition of Anthropolgy of the Christian sacraments as a solution to the “symbolic anaemia” experienced by sacramental practice as a mean of access to God. This implies the weakening of personal experience of the Mystery for lack of the sacramental symbolic language. So today we need a deeper analysis of the symbolic dimension of religion and of man to understand and correct the current weakening of sacramental practice.
