| Resumo: | This paper considers the particular resonances between the experience of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and a theology of Holy Saturday that emphasizes Christ’s “going to the dead.” On the psychological front, the paper reviews common aspects of OCD; on the theological front, the paper outlines the arguments of Hans Urs von Balthasar concerning Christ’s Holy Saturday suffering and solidarity with humanity. The paper then utilizes a “Chalcedonian conception” of balancing theology and psychology, with each informing (and not eclipsing) the other, by examining the ways that a study of OCD and Holy Saturday together can prevent harmful distinctions between the spiritual and the scientific, the sacred and the secular. |
