THE RITE OF MASS AS CATHOLIC SACRAMENTAL PRACTICE

Abstract

Our work is supported by the development of the Semiotic sense of style with the operationalization of the notion of ethos proposed by Discini (2004). In this direction, we seek to add the notion of ethos as style, tone, voice, character and corporeality which can be understood as a totality of discourses (DISCINI, 2004), to the tensive point of view proposed by Zilberberg (2006) in reference to the notions of upward and downward motions style set forth by the author. We propose, therefore, to delineate more fully the manner of presence of the enunciation set out to discourse of religious loyalty. Our work tries to contribute to the examining one’s own sphere of circulation of the religious sense, that is, with reflections on the religious discourse, as stated, enunciation, ethos, style and appearance.
