YANKHO LOTSATIRA
Panali kupepesa kwakukulu kuchokera kwa anthu ambiri aku America chifukwa cha chithandizo chathu kumalire, komanso kuzindikira kuti US ili pamavuto, mwamakhalidwe komanso ndale. Ndili wokondwa chifukwa chamakalata anu othandizira - umboni wopitilira wa zabwino za anthu aku America ambiri - ngakhale cholinga changa sichinali kupempha chifundo. M'malo mwake, chinali kulengeza chifukwa chothetsera makonsati anga. Ndinagwiritsanso ntchito mphindi imeneyi kuti ndikwaniritse kufunikira kwa zomwe zikuchitika pazosinkhasinkha zomwe zili patsamba lino-ndiye kuti, paranoia ndi mantha ndi chizindikiro cha nthawi (onani kusinkhasinkha kwanga mu Ofooka Ndi Mantha).
Panalinso makalata ena onena kuti ndimamenya anthu wamba aku America, komanso kuti ndasochera pa "nkhondo yolimbana ndi uchigawenga." Zachidziwikire, kuwerenga mosamalitsa kwa kalata yanga kumawonetsa nkhawa pazakuwonjezeka kwamisala ndi mavuto omwe amabwera chifukwa cha amene akugwira mphamvu—osati Amereka onse. Koma anthu ena adazitenga izi. Ichi sichinali cholinga changa, ndipo ndikupepesa kuti ena adakhumudwa ndi izi.
Sitisungira chakukhosi alonda akumalire kapena iwo omwe adatumiza makalata achinyengo. Koma ndifotokozera maziko a ndemanga zanga popeza sizandale koma zauzimu.
UTHENGA WABWINO NDI ULEMERERO
Owerenga anga ambiri ndi aku America. Ena mwa iwo ndi asirikali aku Iraq omwe amandilembera nthawi ndi nthawi. M'malo mwake, omwe amatipatsa ndi Amereka ambiri, ndipo m'mbuyomu abwera mwachangu kudzathandiza kuundunawu. Timapita ku US pafupipafupi, ndipo timapanga ubale wamtengo wapatali kumeneko. Paulendo wanga wonse mdziko lapansi, ndi ku America komwe ndidapeza matumba okhulupilika kwambiri ndi achikatolika. Ili m'njira zambiri dziko lokongola komanso anthu.
Koma kukonda kwathu dziko sikungabwere tisanakonde Uthenga Wabwino. Kukonda dziko lako sikungatsogolere kuchenjera. Dziko lathu lili kumwamba. Kuyitanira kwathu ndikuti titeteze Uthenga Wabwino ndi miyoyo yathu, osapereka nsembe ya Uthenga Wabwino mbendera ndi dziko. Ndine wodabwitsidwa ndi zonena zankhondo komanso kukana zenizeni kuchokera kwa Akatolika omwe akuwoneka olimba.
Mayiko akumadzulo akuchepa mwachangu pamakhalidwe. Ndipo ndikati West, ndikutanthauza North America ndi Europe makamaka. Kutsika kwamakhalidwe ndi zipatso za zomwe Papa Benedict wanena kuti ndi "ulamuliro wankhanza womwe ukukulira" - ndiye kuti, makhalidwe akuwomboledwa kuti agwirizane ndi "kulingalira" kwamasiku amenewo. Ndikukhulupirira kuti "nkhondo yoletsa" yomwe ilipo ikulowa mu mzimu wachikhulupiriro, makamaka popatsidwa machenjezo omwe Tchalitchi chimapereka.
Komanso ndi a chizindikiro cha nthawi chifukwa cha momwe zimakhudzira dziko lonse lapansi:
Zomwe zandikhudza posachedwa, ndipo ndikuganiza zambiri za izi, ndikuti mpaka pano, m'masukulu timaphunzitsidwa za nkhondo ziwiri zapadziko lonse. Koma yomwe yangoyamba kumene, ndikukhulupirira, iyeneranso kufotokozedwa ngati 'nkhondo yapadziko lonse,' chifukwa zake zimakhudza dziko lonse lapansi. -Kardinali Roger Etchegaray, nthumwi ya PAPA JOHN PAUL II ku Iraq; Nkhani Zachikatolika, Marichi 24, 2003
Zanenedwa ndi a Buku la Houston kuti atolankhani ambiri ku US sanatenge malipoti osonyeza kuti Tchalitchi chimatsutsa nkhondo. Ndikudabwa ngati izi zidakali choncho, kutengera zomwe owerenga anga ena anena.
Apa ndiye ili - liwu la Mpingo pa "nkhondo yolimbana ndi uchigawenga"…
KUYITANA KWA SPADE KUKHALA
Asanachitike nkhondo yaku Iraq, Papa John Paul II anachenjeza mokweza za kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu mdziko lankhondoli:
Nkhondo sizithawika nthawi zonse. Nthawi zonse kumakhala kulephera kwaumunthu… Nkhondo sichinthu china chokha chomwe munthu angasankhe kuti athetse kusamvana pakati pa mayiko… nkhondo singasankhidwe, ngakhale itakhala nkhani yowonetsetsa zabwino zonse, kupatula ngati njira yomaliza komanso malinga ndi zovuta kwambiri, osanyalanyaza zomwe zimachitika kwa anthu wamba pantchito yankhondo komanso pambuyo pake. -Adilesi Yoyimira Kazembe Wadziko Lonse, Januware 13, 2003
Kuti "zovuta" sizinakwaniritsidwe zidanenedwa momveka bwino ndi Bishop wa ku America iwowo:
Ndi Holy See ndi mabishopu aku Middle East komanso kuzungulira padziko lonse lapansi, tikuopa kuti asinthika kunkhondo, panthawi yomwe ikuchitika komanso chifukwa cha chidziwitso chaposachedwa, sakanakumana ndi ziphunzitso zachikatolika popititsa patsogolo malingaliro awo motsutsana ndi kugwiritsa ntchito Asitikali ankhondo. -Ndemanga pa Iraq, Novembala 13, 2002, USCCB
Poyankhulana ndi atolankhani a ZENIT, Kadinala Joseph Ratzinger - yemwe tsopano ndi Papa Benedict - adati,
Panalibe zifukwa zokwanira kuti athetse nkhondo yolimbana ndi Iraq. Kuti tisanene chilichonse chokhudza kuti, potengera zida zatsopano zomwe zimapangitsa ziwonongeko zomwe zimapitilira magulu ankhondo, lero tiyenera kudzifunsa ngati ndi chilolezo kuvomereza kukhalapo kwa "nkhondo yachilungamo." -ZENIT, Mwina 2, 2003
Awa ndi ochepa chabe mwa mawu apamwamba omwe adachenjeza kuti nkhondo ku Iraq ikhala ndi zovuta padziko lapansi. Inde, machenjezo awo atsimikizira kukhala aulosi. Sikuti chiwopsezo chaumbanda pa nthaka yakunyumba chikuwonjezeka pomwe mayiko achiarabu akuwona US ngati nkhanza, koma "adani ena achikhalidwe" monga Russia, Iran, North Korea, China ndi Venezuela tsopano akuwona America ngati chiwopsezo chomveka kuyambira pomwe zatsimikizira ikulolera kuukira dziko lililonse lomwe limaonedwa ngati loopsa. Mayikowa awonjezeranso ndalama zankhondo ndikupitilizabe kupanga zida, kusunthira dziko lapansi pafupi ndi nkhondo ina yayikulu. Izi ndizovuta.
… Kugwiritsa ntchito mikono sikuyenera kubweretsa zoyipa kapena zovuta kuposa zoyipa zomwe ziyenera kuchotsedwa. -Katekisimu wa Mpingo wa Katolika; 2309 pamikhalidwe ya "nkhondo yolungama".
Palibe amene adzapambane pankhondo - ndipo malinga ndi zomwe bishopu waku US wanena posachedwapa, kulanda dziko la Iraq kukupitilizabe kufunsa mafunso oyenera:
Monga abusa ndi aphunzitsi, tikukhulupirira kuti zomwe zikuchitika ku Iraq sizovomerezeka ndi zosadalirika. -Ndemanga ya Bishopu waku US pa Nkhondo ku Iraq; ZENITHNovembala 13, 2007
Inenso ndili ndi nkhawa kwambiri ndi asitikali omwe akukhalabe ku Iraq ndi Afghanistan akukumana ndi adani omwe ndi owopsa komanso ankhanza. Tiyenera kuthandiza asirikali ndi mapemphero athu. Koma nthawi yomweyo, monga Akatolika okhulupirika, tifunika kuyankha kukana kwathu nthawi iliyonse tikawona zosalungama zikuchitika, makamaka mwanjira zachiwawa — kaya m'mimba, kapena kudziko lina.
Kukhulupirika kwathu kwa Khristu kumateteza ulemu wathu ku mbendera.
Chiwawa ndi mikono sizingathetse mavuto amunthu. —POPA JOHN PAUL II, Wogwira Ntchito ku Katolika ku Houston, Julayi - Ogasiti 4, 2003
NKHONDO SIIDZATHA!
Yakwana nthawi yakumadzulo kuti akhale ndi "kuunika kwa chikumbumtima." Tiyenera kuyang'ana chifukwa chomwe nthawi zambiri timanyozedwa ndi mayiko akunja.
Papa John Paul II adawonjezerapo kale pankhani iyi:
Sipadzakhala mtendere padziko lapansi pomwe kuponderezana kwa anthu, kupanda chilungamo, ndi kusamvana kwachuma, komwe kulipobe, kukupitilira. —Ash Lachitatu Misa, 2003
Owerenga angapo aku America adalemba kuti zigawengazi zikufuna kuwononga dziko lawo. Izi ndi zoona, ndipo tifunika kukhala tcheru — nawonso awopseza dziko langa. Koma tifunikanso kufunsa chifukwa tili ndi adani awa poyamba.
Anthu ambiri padziko lapansi akwiya ndi kupanda chilungamo kwachuma kwadziko komwe kukupitilirabe mu milenia yatsopano. Kunena mosabisa, kuli kukonda chuma, kuwononga, ndi umbombo kwakukulu kumadzulo. Momwe amawonera ana athu akulemera kwambiri ndi ma iPod ndi ma foni am'manja okongoletsa matupi awo, mabanja ambiri padziko lonse lapansi satha kudya. Izi, komanso kuchuluka kwa zolaula, kuchotsa mimba, komanso kubwerezanso ukwati ndi zosavomerezeka kuzikhalidwe zambiri… zikusuntha kuchokera ku Canada, America, ndi mayiko ena akumadzulo.
Ngakhale ndikumvetsetsa kukhumudwa kwa owerenga anga ena, ndi yankho ili lomwe wowerenga wina adati kwenikweni yankho…
"... tikuyenera kutulutsa gulu lathu lankhondo mdziko lililonse, kutseka malire athu kwa aliyense, kuyimitsa ndalama zathu zonse zakunja, ndipo mayiko onse azisamalira."
Kapena, ngati Kumadzulo kungayankhe momwe Khristu anatilamulira kuti:
Kwa inu amene mukumva ndikunena kuti, kondanani ndi adani anu, chitirani zabwino iwo amene amadana nanu, dalitsani iwo amene akutemberera inu, pemphererani iwo amene akukuzunzani. Kwa amene akupanda iwe patsaya limodzi, umpatsenso linalo, ndipo kwa iye amene akutenga chovala chako, usamuletse ngakhale chovala chako… M'malo mwake, kondani adani anu ndikuwachitira zabwino, ndipo musakongoletsenso; mukatero mphotho yanu idzakhala yaikulu, ndipo mudzakhala ana a Wam'mwambamwamba; Khalani achifundo, monganso Atate wanu ali wachifundo… ngati mdani wako ali ndi njala, um'dyetse; ngati ali ndi ludzu, um'patse chakumwa; pakuti pakutero udzaunjika makala amoto pamutu pake. (Luka 6: 27-29, 35-36; Aroma 12:20)
Kodi ndizosavuta? Mwina ndi choncho. Mulu wa "makala amoto" m'malo mwa mabomba.
Mpaka titakhala izi, sitidzakhala ndi mtendere. Sindiwo mbendera yaku Canada kapena America yomwe tiyenera kukhala tikukweza. M'malo mwake, ife akhristu tiyenera kukhala tikukweza pamwamba mbendera za kukonda.
Odala ali akuchita mtendere. (Mat. 5: 9)
Kungakhale chinthu chopenga kuchita, kuukira Iraq, chifukwa adzaukira ndikuukira ndikuwukira, ndipo ali okonzeka. Akungoyembekezera kuti ayankhe. Iwo akungoyembekezera kena kake kakang'ono, zigawenga ndi Iraq palimodzi. Atsogoleri ayenera kukhala odzichepetsa mtima komanso anzeru kwambiri, opirira komanso owolowa manja. Tabwera mdziko lino kudzatumikira—kutumikira, kutumikira, kutumikira, ndipo osatopa ndikutumikira. Sitingalole kuti munthu wina atikwiyitse; tiyenera kukhala ndi malingaliro athu nthawi zonse Kumwamba. -Mmasomphenya Wachikatolika a Maria Esperanza di Bianchini aku Venezuela, kuyankhulana ndi Mzimu Tsiku Lililonse (osalemba); bishopu wakomweko wawona zowonekera pamenepo kukhala zowona. Asanamwalire, anachenjeza kuti nkhondo ku Iraq idzakhala ndi "zoyipa zazikulu".
