520 |a Recent analyses of the impact of (post)modernity on contemporary expressions of religion have been influential in understanding some of the cultural transformations religious traditions inevitably experience. This article argues, within the context of gender studies (and in particular social theory about ‘masculinity'), that many aspects of contemporary Christian liturgy have undergone a significant shift from an emphasis upon bodily communication to an over-riding regard for the stimulation of the mind of the individual worshipper. Focusing in particular on Roman Catholicism, I discuss how this increasing prioritisation of the mind over the body entails an essentially ‘masculine' epistemological model and reflects a deeply embedded cultural assumption within modernity. I explore the nature of such an ideological transformation based upon myths about ‘masculinity' and suggest an approach which might prevent it from spiralling into further crisis.
