Ola la Kusayeruzika

 

OCHEPA masiku apitawo, Wachimereka adandilembera kutsatira chigamulo cha Khothi Lalikulu pakupanga ufulu wa "ukwati" wa amuna kapena akazi okhaokha:

Ndakhala ndikulira gawo labwino la tsikuli… pamene ndikuyesera kuti ndigone ndikudabwa ngati mungandithandizire kumvetsetsa komwe tili munthawi yazomwe zichitike….

Pali malingaliro angapo pa izi omwe abwera kwa ine chete mu sabata yapitayi. Ndipo, mwa mbali, ndi yankho ku funso ili…

 

MASOMPHENYA

Lembani masomphenyawo; pangani kumveka bwino pamiyala, kuti wowerenga azitha. Pakuti masomphenyawo ndiwo mboni ya nthawi yakwana. ”(Hab 2: 2-3)

Pali zinthu ziwiri zomwe zimawongolera ndikudziwitsa izi zaupatuko zomwe zikuyenera kuwunikidwanso. Choyamba ndikuti kuwala kwamkati komwe Ambuye adandipatsa kuti ndimvetse kuti Mpingo ndi dziko lapansi zikulowa Mkuntho Wankulu (ngati mkuntho). Gawo lachiwiri komanso lofunika kwambiri, komabe, lakhala losefa chilichonse kudzera pakuphunzitsa ndi kukumbukira Tchalitchi, chosungidwa mu Chikhalidwe Chopatulika, kuti athe kuyankha mokhulupirika malangizo a Woyera wa Yohane Paulo Wachiwiri:

Achinyamata adziwonetsa okha kukhala ku Roma komanso kwa Mpingo mphatso yapadera ya Mzimu wa Mulungu… sindinazengereze kuwapempha kuti asankhe mwachikhulupiriro ndi moyo ndikuwapatsa ntchito yayikulu: kukhala "alonda ammawa" kumayambiriro kwa Zakachikwi zatsopano . —POPA JOHN PAUL II, Novo Millenio Inuente, n. 9

Mwa ichi, ndapeza kuti fanizo la "Mkuntho" likugwirizana bwino ndi masomphenya oyamba a Abambo a Tchalitchi a "tsiku la Ambuye" ndi zomwe zidzachitike Mvula yamkuntho isanachitike, mkati, komanso pambuyo pake.

 

CHITHUNZI CHACHIKULU

Kodi "Mkuntho" ndi chiyani? Poganizira Malemba, masomphenya a Abambo a Tchalitchi, mizimu yovomerezeka ya Amayi Odala, maulosi a oyera ngati Faustina ^[1]cf. Faustina, ndi Tsiku la Ambuye ndi Emmerich, machenjezo osatsutsika ochokera kwa apapa, ziphunzitso za Katekisimu, ndi "zizindikilo za nthawi ino", Mkuntho umayambitsanso tsiku la Ambuye. Malinga ndi Abambo a Tchalitchi oyambilira, uku si kutha kwa dziko lapansi, koma nyengo inayake isanafike, ndikutsogolera kumapeto kwa nthawi ndikubweranso kwa Yesu muulemerero. ^[2]cf. Momwe Mathan'yo Anatayidwira; onaninso Wokondedwa Atate Woyera… Akubwera! Nthawi imeneyo, Abambo adaphunzitsa, amapezeka m'masomphenya a Yohane Woyera yemwe adalemba izi pambuyo ulamuliro wa Wokana Kristu (chirombo), padzakhala nyengo yamtendere, yoyimiridwa ndi "zaka chikwi", "millennium", pomwe Mpingo uzilamulira ndi Khristu padziko lonse lapansi (onani Rev 20: 1-4). ^[3]cf. Apapa, ndi Dzuwa Loyambira

... tsiku lathu lino, lomwe lili ndi malire ndi kutuluka kwa dzuwa, kulowa kwadzuwa, ndikuyimira tsiku lalikuru lomwe kuzungulira kwazaka chikwi kumazungulira. -Lactantius, Abambo a Tchalitchi: The Institutes Divine, Book VII, Chaputala 14, Catholic Encyclopedia; www.newadvent.org

Ndiponso,

Onani, Tsiku la Ambuye lidzakhala zaka chikwi. -Kalata ya Baranaba, Abambo a Mpingo, Ch. 15

"Zaka chikwi", komabe, siziyenera kumveka kwenikweni, koma mophiphiritsira monga kutanthauza nthawi yayitali ^[4]cf. Millenarianism -Kodi ndi chiyani, ndipo sichoncho pamene Khristu adzalamulira mwauzimu kudzera mu Mpingo wake wonse onse amitundu "kenako mapeto adzafika." ^[5]onani. Mateyu 24: 14

Zomwe ndikufotokozera zonsezi ndi chifukwa, malinga ndi onse a St. John ndi Abambo Atchalitchi, mawonekedwe a "wosayeruzika" kapena "chirombo" amapezeka pamaso kupambana kwa Mpingo - "nthawi za ufumu" zija kapena zomwe Abambo nthawi zambiri amatchula kuti "mpumulo wa sabata" wa Mpingo: 

koma pamene Wokana Kristu adzakhala atawononga zinthu zonse padziko lino lapansi, adzalamulira zaka zitatu ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi, ndikukhala m'kachisi ku Yerusalemu; ndipo Ambuye adzabwera kuchokera Kumwamba mumitambo… kutumiza munthu uyu ndi onse omutsatira m'nyanja yamoto; koma kubweretsa olungamawo nthawi zaufumu, ndiye kuti, otsalawo, tsiku lopatulidwa lachisanu ndi chiwiri… Izi zidzachitika munthawi za ufumu, ndiye kuti, pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri… Sabata loona la olungama. —St. Irenaeus waku Lyons, Abambo a Tchalitchi (140-202 AD); Zotsutsana ndi Haeres, Irenaeus wa ku Lyons, V.33.3.4, A Father of the Church, CIMA Publishing Co.

Ndiye kuti, zinthu zikuipiraipira zisanakhale bwino. Monga m'modzi mwa olemba omwe amakonda kwambiri a St. Thérèse de Lisieux adalemba,

Lingaliro labwino kwambiri, ndipo lomwe likuwoneka kuti likugwirizana kwambiri ndi Malembo Oyera, ndikuti, pakugwa kwa Wokana Kristu, Tchalitchi cha Katolika chidzalowanso nthawi yopambana ndi kupambana. -Mapeto a Dziko Lapano ndi Zinsinsi Za Moyo Wamtsogolo, Fr. Charles Arminjon (1824-1885), p. 56-57; Sophia

Pachifukwa ichi, ndikufuna kufotokoza zomwe zili chimodzi mwazinthu zofunikira kwambiri za Wokana Kristu zomwe zikuwoneka kuti zikuchitika pa izi ola…

 

OOLA LOSALAMBA

Ndikufuna kufotokozera owerenga atsopano zomwe sindingathe kuzichotsa mu 2005 zomwe bishopu waku Canada adandilimbikitsa kuti ndilembere. Ndinali pagalimoto ndekha ku British Columbia, Canada, ndikupita ku konsati yanga yotsatira, ndikusangalala ndi malowo, ndikulingalira, pomwe mwadzidzidzi ndinamva mumtima mwanga mawu akuti:

Ndakweza choletsa.

Ndinamva china mu mzimu wanga chomwe ndi chovuta kufotokoza. Zinali ngati a mantha adadutsa padziko lapansi-ngati kuti kena kake m'zinthu zauzimu kamasulidwa. ^[6]cf. Kuchotsa Woletsa

Usikuwo m'chipinda changa chamotelo, ndidafunsa Ambuye ngati zomwe ndimamva sizinali m'Malemba, popeza liwu loti "choletsa" silinali lachilendo kwa ine. Ndinatenga Baibulo langa, ndipo linatsegulidwa pa 2 Atesalonika 2: 3. Ndidayamba kuwerenga:

… [Musagwedezeke] kuchokera m'maganizo mwanu mwadzidzidzi, kapena ... kutenthedwa ndi "mzimu," kapena ndi mawu apakamwa, kapena ndi kalata yomwe akuti idachokera kwa ife yonena kuti tsiku la Ambuye layandikira. Munthu aliyense asakunyengeni mwa njira iliyonse. Pokhapokha ngati mpatuko ubwera koyamba ndipo wosayeruzika awululidwa…

Ndiye kuti, Woyera Paulo adachenjeza kuti "tsiku la Ambuye" lidzatsogoleredwa ndi kupanduka ndi kuwululidwa kwa Wokana Kristu-mwa mawu, kusayeruzika.

… Ambuye asanafike padzakhala mpatuko, ndipo wina wofotokozedwanso kuti "munthu wosayeruzika", "mwana wa chiwonongeko" ayenera kuwululidwa, yemwe chikhalidwe chake chimadzatcha Wokana Kristu. -POPE BENEDICT XVI, Omvera Onse, "Kaya kumapeto kapena panthawi yamasowa mtendere: Bwerani Ambuye Yesu!", L'Osservatore Romano, Novembala 12, 2008

Koma ulipo Chinachake "Kuletsa" mawonekedwe a Wokana Kristu uyu. Ndili ndi nsagwada zotseguka usiku womwewo, ndinapitiliza kuwerenga kuti:

Ndipo mukudziwa chomwe chiri kuletsa iye tsopano kuti awululidwe mu nthawi yake. Pakuti chinsinsi cha kusayeruzika chayamba kale kugwira ntchito; yekhayo amene tsopano kuletsa zidzatero mpaka atachoka panjira. Ndipo wosayeruzika adzawululidwa…

Tikaganiza zakusayeruzika, timakonda kulingalira za zigawenga zomwe zimangoyendayenda m'misewu, kusapezeka kwa apolisi, umbanda paliponse, ndi zina zambiri. Koma, monga tawonera m'mbuyomu, njira zosayembekezereka zowopsa komanso zowopsa bwerani pa funde la kusintha. French Revolution idalimbikitsidwa ndi unyinji wofuna kulanda Tchalitchi ndi mafumu; Chikominisi chidabadwa pomwe anthu adalanda Moscow mu Revolution ya Okutobala; Nazism inali mwa demokalase kulembedwa ntchito kudzera m'mavoti otchuka; ndipo lero, kugwira ntchito mofananirana ndi maboma osankhidwa mwa demokalase, mogwirizana ndi olandila alendo, ndiye gululi Kusintha Padziko Lonse Lapansi: Kuchita zachiweruzo, pomwe makhothi amangopanga malamulo ngati "kutanthauzira" kwa malamulo kapena zolembera za ufulu.

… Zisankho za [Khothi Lalikulu] sabata yatha sizinangotengera kukhazikitsidwa kwa malamulo, zidachitika-chilamulo. Kutanthauza kuti sitikukhalanso motsatira malamulo, koma mothandizidwa ndi zofuna za anthu. -Wolemba, Jonathan V. Pomaliza, Muyeso Wamlungu, July 1st, 2015

Izi zonse zikutanthauza kuti pakhala pali kupitilira kumene kusayeruzika kumawonekera mokulira kutengera nkhope ya ufulu pomwe, kuli kuwononga. ^[7]cf. Loto la Wopanda Malamulo

… Pamene chikhalidwe chenichenicho chili chobowola ndi chowonadi chenicheni ndipo mfundo zofunikira ponseponse sizikutsatiridwanso, ndiye kuti malamulo amangowoneka ngati zopondereza kapena zopinga zoyenera kuzipewa. —PAPA FRANCIS, Laudato si ',n. 123; www.v Vatican.va

Chifukwa chake, akuwonjezera kuti Papa Francis, "kusalemekeza malamulo kwayamba kufalikira." ^[8]cf. Laudato si ',n. 142; www.v Vatican.va Komabe, monga apapa am'mbuyomu adachenjeza, ichi chakhala cholinga nthawi zonse kwa iwo omwe akutsutsana ndi dongosolo ili. ^[9]cf. Chinsinsi Babulo 

Pakadali pano, olimbikitsa zoipa akuwoneka kuti akuphatikizana ... Popanda kubisa chilichonse pazolinga zawo, tsopano akulimbana molimba mtima ndi Mulungu Mwiniwake ... chomwe cholinga chawo chachikulu chimadziwonetsera - kutanthauza kugwetsa dongosolo ladziko lonse lachipembedzo ndi ndale lomwe chiphunzitso chachikhristu chatulutsa, ndikusintha kwatsopano zinthu molingana ndi malingaliro awo, omwe maziko ndi malamulo adzatengedwa kuchokera kuzachilengedwe chabe. —POPA LEO XIII, Mtundu wa Munthu, Encyclical on Freemasonry, n. 10, Apri 20thl, 1884

 

CHILOMBO CHIMASONYEZA UFULU

Abale ndi alongo, ndikunenanso motere kukuchenjezani za Akatolika omwe ali ndi zolinga zabwino omwe amaumirira kuti mwina sitingayandikire nthawi ya Wokana Kristu. Ndipo chifukwa chomwe amaumirira ndi ichi: adadzipereka okha ku maphunziro azaumulungu komanso kutanthauzira kwa m'Baibulo komwe sikuganizira zolemba zonse zaumulungu, zamulungu zamatsenga, ndi chiphunzitso chonse cha Katolika. Ndipo chifukwa chake, malingaliro amilandu monga awa ndi omwe amanyalanyazidwa:

Ndani angalephere kuona kuti anthu ali pakadali pano, kuposa m'zaka zapitazi, akuvutika ndi matenda owopsa komanso ozika mizu omwe, omwe akukula tsiku lililonse ndikudya mkatikati mwawo, akuwakokera kuchiwonongeko? Mukumvetsa, Abale Olemekezeka, matenda awa ndi—mpatuko ochokera kwa Mulungu… Zonsezi zikaganiziridwa pali chifukwa chabwino choopera kuti kusokonekera uku kungakhale monga kunaneneratu, ndipo mwina kuyambika kwa zoyipa zomwe zasungidwira masiku otsiriza; ndikuti pakhalebe kale padziko lapansi "Mwana wa Chiwonongeko" amene Mtumwi amalankhula za iye. —PAPA ST. PIUS X, E Supremi, Zakale, Pobwezeretsa Zinthu Zonse mwa Khristu, n. 3, 5; Ogasiti 4, 1903

Ngakhale zili choncho, kuwunikiridwa mwachidule kwa nthawi yathu ino kukuwulula zomwe zilipo pa nthawi ino lililonse chizindikiro chomwe chingachitike asanapite ndi "wosayeruzikayo"

 

I. Kusayeruzika ndi mpatuko

Monga tanenera kale, kusayeruzika kukuchitika paliponse, osati kungothetsa lamulo lachilengedwe, koma zomwe Papa Francis amachitcha "kukula kwa nkhondo", ^[10]cf. Katolika Herald, June 6th, 2015 magawano pabanja ndi chikhalidwe, komanso mavuto azachuma. 

Koma liwu loti St. Paul amagwiritsa ntchito pofotokoza za kusayeruzika ndi "mpatuko", zomwe zikutanthauza kupandukira, ndikukana kwakukulu chikhulupiriro chachikatolika. Muzu wa kupanduka uku ndikunyengerera ndi mzimu wadziko.

Sipanakhaleko kupatuka panjira yachikhristu monga kunaliri mzaka zapitazi. Ndithudi ndife “ofuna” mpatuko waukulu. —Dr. Ralph Martin, Mlangizi ku Bungwe Laupapa la Kulalikira Kwatsopano, Nchiyani Chikuchitika Padziko Lapansi? Kanema wawayilesi yakanema, CTV Edmonton, 1997

… Kukonda dziko lapansi ndiye muzu wa zoyipa ndipo zitha kutitsogolera kusiya miyambo yathu ndikukambirana za kukhulupirika kwathu kwa Mulungu amene ali wokhulupirika nthawi zonse. Izi… zimatchedwa mpatuko, zomwe… ndi mtundu wa “chigololo” zomwe zimachitika tikamakambirana za umunthu wathu: kukhulupirika kwa Ambuye. —POPA FRANCIS wochokera ku banja, Vatican Radio, Novembala 18, 2013

Monga tafotokozera pamwambapa, Papa m'modzi walankhula zakusokonekera pakati pathu.

MpatukoKutaya chikhulupiriro, kukufalikira padziko lonse lapansi ndikukwera kwambiri mu Mpingo. -POPE PAUL VI, Adilesi Yapachaka lokumbukira zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi za Fatima Apparitions, Okutobala 13, 1977

 

II. Kutha kwa ufulu

Mneneri Danieli komanso Yohane Woyera akufotokoza kuti "chirombocho" chimakhala champhamvu padziko lonse lapansi “Anapatsa ulamuliro pa mafuko onse, anthu, manenedwe, ndi mafuko.” ^[11]onani. Chiv 13:7 Umboni wa mphamvu yadziko yolanda yomwe zolamulira zikuwonekera kwambiri, ^[12]cf. Lamulira! Lamulira! osati m'malamulo okha omwe akhazikitsidwa omwe amaletsa ufulu kuti "athane ndi uchigawenga", komanso pachuma chapadziko lonse lapansi chomwe chikupitilira kukhala akapolo osati osauka okha, komanso anthu apakati kudzera "chiwongola dzanja". ^[13]cf. 2014 ndi Chinyama Chokwera Kuphatikiza apo, Papa Francis akutsutsa "kutsata malingaliro" komwe kumakakamiza mayiko padziko lonse lapansi kuti ayambe kutsutsana ndi anthu.

Sikuti kudalirana kwadziko lonse kwamgwirizano wamitundu yonse, aliyense ali ndi miyambo yake, m'malo mwake ndi kudalirana kwadziko kwa kufanana kwake, ndiko lingaliro limodzi. Ndipo lingaliro lokhalo ndilo chipatso cha zachisoni. —POPA FRANCIS, Homily, Novembala 18, 2013; Zenit

 

III. Ukadaulo wosagwirizana

Mofananamo, Papa Francis wafotokozanso za kuwonjezeka kwa mphamvu zamatekinoloje zomwe zimaopseza "osati ndale zathu zokha komanso ufulu ndi chilungamo." ^[14]cf. Laudato si ',n. 53; www.v Vatican.va Lingaliro labodza limafalikira ngati kuti 'kuwonjezeka kulikonse kwa mphamvu kumatanthauza "kuwonjezeka kwa' kupita patsogolo 'komwe.”' ^[15]cf. Laudato si ',n. 105; www.v Vatican.va Koma izi sizingatheke, amachenjeza, pokhapokha ngati pakakhala kukambirana momasuka komanso momasuka pamakhalidwe ndi zoperewera zaukadaulo. Monga womutsogolera, Benedict XVI, yemwe nthawi zambiri amakonza zochitika zachuma ndi ukadaulo monga kuyika ukapolo wa anthu, Francis nawonso watenga chilengedwe chonse kamvekedwe kamene kakuwona phindu ndi kufunikira kwa luso laumunthu, amachenjeza za kuwonjezeka kwa ukadaulo kwaukadaulo ndi ochepa:

… Iwo omwe ali ndi chidziwitso, makamaka chuma chomwe angawagwiritse ntchito, [ali] ndi mphamvu zochititsa chidwi pa umunthu wonse komanso pa dziko lonse lapansi. Anthu sanakhalepo ndi mphamvu zotere pa iwo okha, komabe palibe chomwe chimatsimikizira kuti chidzagwiritsidwa ntchito mwanzeru, makamaka tikawona momwe akugwiritsidwira ntchito. Timangofunika koma taganizirani za bomba la nyukiliya lomwe laponyedwa mkatikati mwa zaka makumi awiri, kapena ukadaulo wambiri womwe Nazi, Communism ndi maboma ena ankhanza agwiritsa ntchito kupha mamiliyoni a anthu, osanena chilichonse chazida zankhondo zomwe zikupitilira nkhondo zamakono. Kodi mphamvu zonsezi zagona m'manja mwa ndani, kapena kodi zidzatha? Ndizowopsa kwambiri kuti gawo laling'ono la umunthu likhale nalo. -Laudato si ',n. 104; www.v Vatican.va

 

IV. Kutuluka kwa "chizindikiro"

Wina akuyenera kukhala wamisala pang'ono kuti asazindikire zowopsa zomwe zikuwonjezeka zamalonda zomwe zimangokhala zocheperako ku digito. Mwakachetechete, mochenjera, anthu akukhala ngati ng'ombe kuntchito yachuma yomwe pamakhala ocheperako ochepa komanso owongolera. Ogulitsa ang'onoang'ono nthawi zambiri amalowedwa m'malo ndi malo ogulitsa; Alimi akumaloko amasamukira kwawo ndi mabungwe azakudya zambiri; ndipo mabanki akomweko amezedwa ndi mphamvu zazikulu komanso zosadziwika zomwe zidayika phindu pamaso pa anthu, "zofuna zachuma zosadziwika zomwe zimapangitsa amuna kukhala akapolo, omwe si zinthu zautali, koma ndi mphamvu yosadziwika yomwe amuna amatumikira, "atero Papa Benedict XVI. ^[16]onani. Kusinkhasinkha pambuyo powerenga ofesi mu Ola Lachitatu, Vatican City, Okutobala 11, 2010

Tekinoloje zomwe zimachepetsa kugula ndi kugulitsa kuzidziwitso zadijito zili pachiwopsezo chomaliza kupatula omwe "satenga nawo mbali" pakuyesa kwachitukuko. Mwachitsanzo, ngati wabizinesi akukakamizidwa kutseka bizinesi yake chifukwa chosaphika keke paukwati wa amuna kapena akazi okhaokha, kodi tili kutali bwanji ndi makhothi tikungolamula kuti "switch" izimitsidwe kumaakaunti aku banki a iwo omwe amaonedwa kuti ndi "zigawenga" zamtendere? Kapenanso, mochenjera kwambiri, kugwa kwa dola komanso kuwuka kwachuma kwatsopano, kodi ukadaulo ukhoza kukhazikitsidwa womwe umafunikanso kutsatira mfundo za "mgwirizano wapadziko lonse lapansi"? Mabanki ayamba kale kugwiritsa ntchito "zolemba zabwino" zomwe zimanenetsa kuti makasitomala awo ndi "ololera" komanso "ophatikiza".

Chivumbulutso chimalankhula za mdani wa Mulungu, chirombo. Nyama iyi ilibe dzina, koma nambala. [Mowopsya mwa ndende zozunzirako anthu], amachotsa nkhope zawo ndi mbiri yawo, ndikusintha munthu kukhala wocheperako, kumusandutsa khola lamakina akulu kwambiri. Munthu sali chabe ntchito. Masiku athu, sitiyenera kuiwala kuti adafanizira tsogolo la dziko lomwe lili pachiwopsezo chotengera ndende zomwezi, ngati lamulo la makina onse livomerezedwa. Makina omwe apangidwa amapereka lamulo lomwelo. Malinga ndi malingaliro awa, munthu ayenera kutanthauziridwa ndi kompyuta ndipo izi zimatheka ngati atasinthidwa kukhala manambala. Chilombocho ndi chiwerengero ndipo chimasintha kukhala manambala. Komabe, Mulungu ali ndi dzina ndipo amaitana ndi dzina. Ndi munthu ndipo amayang'ana munthuyo. —Cardinal Ratzinger, (POPE BENEDICT XVI) Palermo, Marichi 15, 2000

 

Alendo ndi alendo

Zikuwonekeratu kuti akhristu akumayiko akumadzulo akhala "akunja" atsopano; kumayiko akummawa, takhala zolinga. Pamene ofera m'zaka zapitazi akupitilira zaka mazana onsewa asanaphatikizidwe, zikuwonekeratu kuti talowa muzunzo latsopano la Mpingo lomwe likuyamba kukwiya pakadali pano. Ichinso ndi "chizindikiro cha nthawi" yomwe tikuyandikira ku Diso la Mkuntho.

Komabe, zonsezi ndakhala ndikulemba ndi kuchenjeza kwa zaka khumi tsopano, pamodzi ndi mawu ena ambiri mu Mpingo. Mawu a Yesu akumveka m'makutu mwanga…

Izi ndalankhula ndi inu kuti pamene ikudza nthawi, mukakumbukire kuti ndinakuwuzani. (Yohane 16: 4)

Zonsezi ndi kunena, abale ndi alongo, kuti mphepo zidzawopsa kwambiri, zosintha mwachangu, Mphepo yamkuntho imakhala yachiwawa. Apanso, Zisindikizo Zisanu ndi ziwiri za Revolution apange chiyambi cha Mkuntho, ndipo timawawona akutseguka munthawi yeniyeni pa nkhani za tsiku ndi tsiku.

Koma mu zonsezi, Mulungu ali ndi pulani kwa anthu ake okhulupirika.

Kumapeto kwa Epulo, ndidagawana nanu mawu pamtima mwanga: Bwerani ndi ine. Ndidamva kuti Ambuye akutiyitana, kutulukanso ku Babeloni, kutulutsa dziko lapansi kutipititsa "kuchipululu." Zomwe sindimagawana panthawiyo zinali zanga Kuzama kwakukuru kuti Yesu akutiitana monga momwe adachitiranso "Abambo a m'chipululu" -amuna omwe adathawa mayesero adziko lapansi kukhala okhaokha m'chipululu kuti ateteze moyo wawo wauzimu. Kuthawira kwawo mchipululu kunapanga maziko achikhulupiliro chakumadzulo komanso njira yatsopano yophatikizira ntchito ndi pemphero.

Maganizo anga ndikuti Ambuye akukonzekera thupi malo omwe akhristu angayitanidwe kuti asonkhane, kaya mwa kufuna kwawo kapena chifukwa chosamuka. Ndidawona malowa kwa "akapolo" achikhristu, "magulu ofanana", m'masomphenya amkati omwe adabwera kwa ine zaka zingapo zapitazo ndikupemphera pamaso pa Sacramenti Yodala (onani Malo Othawirako Akubwera ndi Mikhalidwe). Komabe, kungakhale kulakwa kuti tizingoganiza za awa ngati malo otetezera a tsogolo. Pakadali pano, akhristu akuyenera kukhala ogwirizana, kupanga umodzi kuti alimbitsane, kuthandizana, ndi kulimbikitsana. Pakuti kuzunzidwa sikubwera: ili kale pano.

Chifukwa chake, ndidachita chidwi kuwerenga nkhani yolemba mu magazini ya TIME sabata yatha. Ndidakhudzidwa kwambiri pazifukwa zomveka ndipo ndidatchulapo gawo pano:

… Akhristu owona ayenera kumvetsetsa kuti zinthu zikhala zovuta kwambiri kwa ife. Tiyenera kuphunzira momwe tingakhalire akapolo mdziko lathu lomwe ... tidzasintha momwe timakhalira ndi chikhulupiriro chathu ndikuphunzitsa ana athu, kuti timange magulu olimba.

Yakwana nthawi yoti ndiyitane Benedict Option. M'buku lake la 1982 la After Virtue, wafilosofi wotchuka Alasdair MacIntyre anayerekezera m'badwo wapano ndi kugwa kwa Roma wakale. Analozera kwa Benedict waku Nursia, Mkhristu wachinyamata wopembedza yemwe adasiya chipwirikiti ku Roma kuti apite kutchire kukapemphera, monga chitsanzo kwa ife. Ife omwe tikufuna kukhala ndi moyo wabwinobwino, a MacIntyre adati, tiyenera kuchita upainiya njira zatsopano zochitira izi pagulu. Tikuyembekezera, anati "watsopano - ndipo mosakayikira wosiyana kwambiri - St. Benedict."

M'zaka zoyambirira za Middle Ages, madera a Benedict adakhazikitsa nyumba za amonke, ndikusunga kuwala kwa chikhulupiriro kudutsa mumdima wazikhalidwe. Pambuyo pake, amonke a Benedictine adathandizira kukonzanso chitukuko. -Rob Dreher, "Akhristu achi Orthodox Ayenera Kuphunzira Kukhala Monga Akapolo M'dziko Lathu Leni", TIME, Juni 26, 2015; time.com

Inde, Papa Benedict anachenjeza kuti "chikhulupiriro chili pangozi yakufa ngati lawi lomwe silinatenthedwenso" m'kalata yake kwa mabishopu onse adziko lapansi. ^[17]onani. Chiyero chake Papa Benedict XVI kwa Aepiskopi Onse a
Padziko Lonse, Marichi 12, 2009; Akatolika Paintaneti Koma nthawi iyi yakusamvera malamulo ikuperekanso mwayi: kukhala woyang'anira ndi wosunga chikhulupiriro, kusunga chowonadi ndikuchisunga chamoyo ndikuyaka mumtima mwako. Pakadali pano, "nthawi yamtendere" yomwe ikubwera ikupangidwa m'mitima ya iwo omwe akupereka "fiat" yawo kwa Yesu. Mulungu akusunga anthu, omwe nthawi zambiri amabisika kudziko lapansi, kudzera m'masukulu apanyumba, kuyitanidwa kwatsopano kuunsembe, ndi moyo wachipembedzo komanso wopatulidwa kuti akhale mbewu ya nyengo yatsopano, chitukuko chatsopano chachikondi.

Revolution Yogonana nthawi zonse imalonjeza kukwaniritsidwa koma imatsutsa otsatira ake kwambiri pamapeto pake. Ngakhale tikulimbikira chisokonezo cha m'badwowu ndikuwatsata, tiyenera kukhalanso olimba potipatsa chiyembekezo kwa othawa kwawo kuchokera ku Revolution Revolution omwe abwera kwa ife, atasokonezedwa ndi malingaliro okudziyimira pawokha komanso kudzipanga okha.
