Komabe, pafupipafupi, lumbiroli limatengedwa pakati pa kusonkhanitsa mitambo ndi mikuntho yamkuntho… Amereka akuyenera kutenga nawo gawo pokhazikitsa nyengo yatsopano yamtendere. -A Purezidenti Barack Hussein Obama, Kulankhula Kwoyamba, Januware 20, 2009

CHITSIMU CHAKuda
Otsatira a Obama pambuyo pa chisankho
Ndine wokondwa kwambiri, makamaka kwa anthu akuda aku America, kuti dziko lawo lapita patsogolo kwambiri pakusintha tsankho m'mbuyomu zomwe zidapangitsa kuti utsogoleri wakuda uwoneke. Koma ndizomvetsa chisoni kuti ngakhale khomo limodzi la tsankho likutseka, chisankhochi chimatsegula kuphwanya kwina, kowopsa kwambiri kwa ufulu wa anthu. Chifukwa sikuti lonjezo la Obama lidzangodutsa Lamulo la Ufulu Wosankha (FOCA) imabweretsa ana ambiri ku America, mayiko ena, monga Washington, ndangopanga zisankho kudzipangira ufulu wovomerezeka, ndipo ku Michigan, njira yowonjezera kugwiritsa ntchito maselo am'mimba kuchokera m'mazira aumunthu pakufufuza inadutsanso.

Ndikufuula mogwirizana ndi ambiri a inu: imfa si yankho kuzunzika kwa chikhalidwechi. Yesu yekha! Yesu yekha! Iye yekha ndiye njira, chowonadi ndi moyo. Iye yekha ndiye "Mmodzi".
Mtendere sikumangokhala kuti kulibe nkhondo kapena kusungidwa kosavuta kwa mphamvu pakati pa magulu ankhondo, kapenanso kukhazikitsidwa pakutha mphamvu. Amatchedwa, moyenera komanso moyenera, ntchito ya chilungamo. Ndizopangidwa mwadongosolo, dongosolo lomwe lakhazikitsidwa mwa anthu ndi woyambitsa wawo waumulungu, kuti likwaniritsidwe ngati amuna akumva njala ndi ludzu la chilungamo changwiro. -Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Bungwe lachiwiri la Vatican Council, Malangizo a maola, Vol IV, tsa. 470-471
M'masiku ochepa chabe a Purezidenti, FOCA ikhoza kupitilizidwa, kufafaniza chilichonse chomwe chilipo chokhudza kuchotsa mimba. Chodabwitsa cha izi ndikuti lamuloli limathandizidwa ndi Planned Parenthood-bungwe lomwe woyambitsa wake, a Margaret Sanger, adafuna kuchepetsa, ngati sichingathetse anthu akuda kudzera mwa kuchotsa zomwe zimatchedwa "The Negro Project."

Chifukwa chake, kusintha kwandale ku North America ndichimodzi chabe mwazida za Kutulutsa Kwakukulu, ngakhale, ndichofunikira.
Tsopano tayimirira pankhondo yayikulu kwambiri yomwe anthu adakumana nayo. Sindikuganiza kuti magulu azambiri zaku America kapena magulu azachikhristu amazindikira izi kwathunthu.
