Ukusilela kwamaKatolika

 

KUNYE iminyaka elishumi elinesibini iNkosi indicelile ukuba ndihlale phezu "kongqameko" njengenye ye “Abalindi” bakaJohn Paul II kwaye ndithethe ngento endiyibonayo isiza-hayi ngokombono wam, ukukhulelwa kwangaphambili, okanye iingcinga, kodwa ngokwenyani loluntu kunye nolwabucala uThixo aqhubeka ngalo ethetha nabantu baKhe. Kodwa ngokususa amehlo am kwezi ntsuku zimbalwa zidlulileyo ndaye ndajonga kwiNdlu yethu, iCawe yamaKhatholika, ndizifumana ndiqubuda ngentloko.

 

I-Irish HARBINGER

Okwenzekileyo eIreland ngempelaveki yayiyeyona “miqondiso yamaxesha” ibalulekileyo endiyibonileyo kwixesha elide. Njengoko usenokuba uyazi, uninzi lwabantu abaninzi baye bavotela ukuqhomfa ngokusemthethweni.

I-Ireland lilizwe (elaliyiyo) "yamaKatolika" kakhulu. Wayengene zwabha kubuhedeni de iSt. Patrick yamkhokelela ezingalweni zikaMama omtsha, iCawa. Wayeza kulungisa amanxeba elizwe, avuselele abantu bakhe, alungelelanise imithetho yakhe, aguqule imbonakalo yelizwe, aze amenze ame njengendlu yesibane ekhokelela imiphefumlo elahlekileyo kumazibuko akhuselekileyo osindiso. Ngoxa ubuKatolika baba buthathaka kwinxalenye enkulu yeYurophu iphela emva kweMvukelo yaseFransi, ukholo lwaseIreland lwahlala lomelele. 

Yiyo loo nto le voti isisibhengezo esoyikekayo. Nangona kunjalo iinyani zesayensi ezibethelela ubuntu bomntwana ongekazalwa; ngaphandle kweengxoxo zefilosofi ukuba qinisekisa ubuntu bayo; nangona ubungqina bentlungu ebangelwayo kusana ngexesha lokuqhomfa; ngaphandle kwe iifoto, imimangaliso yezonyango, kunye nesiseko ngengqiqo yintoni kwaye ngubani kanye kanye okhula esibelekweni sikamama… I-Ireland ivotele ukuzisa imbubhiso elunxwemeni lwabo. Le yi-2018; amaIrish akahlali kwindawo engenanto. Isizwe “samaKatolika” sawasusa amehlo aso kwinkqubo ekhohlakeleyo yokuqhomfa, saza sazikhulula isazela salo ngoku. ukulahla inyaniso ngeengxoxo ezingephi “zelungelo” lebhinqa. Ingcamango yokuba bakholelwa ukuba umntwana ongekazalwa "sisihlunu se-fetal" okanye "i-blob yeeseli" inesisa kakhulu. Hayi, i-Ireland yamaKatolika ibhengeze, njenge-American feminist Camille Paglia, ukuba umfazi unelungelo lokubulala omnye umntu xa umdla wakhe usengozini: 

Ndisoloko ndivuma ngokuphandle ukuba ukuqhomfa kukubulala, ukutshabalalisa abo bangenamandla ngabo banamandla. Inkululeko uninzi lwazo luye lwasilela ekujonganeni neziphumo zokuziphatha kokwamkelwa kwesisu, okukhokelela ekutshatyalalisweni kwabantu bekhonkrithi hayi nje iziqhulo zethishu. Umbono ngokokubona kwam awunagunya lokungenelela kwiinkqubo zebhayoloji zalo naliphi na ibhinqa, into leyo ethe yafakwa apho ngaphambi kokuzalwa nangaphambi kokuba loo mfazi angene ekuhlaleni nakubumi. -Camille Paglia, show, Septemba 10, 2008

Wamkelekile kuyo yonke iNtshona “eqhubela phambili” apho singamkelanga nje ingqiqo kaHitler ye-eugenics kodwa siye saya kwelinye inyathelo—enyanisweni sibhiyozela ukuzibulala kwethu sonke. 

Ukuzibulala kohlanga loluntu kuya kuqondwa ngabo baya kubona umhlaba unabantu abadala kwaye ushiye abantwana: utshiswa njengentlango. —St. IPio yePietrelcina

Uyabona, sabona i-microcosm yolu tyekelo lokuzibulala xa, ngo-2007, kwisiXeko saseMexico. ivotele ukukhupha isisu ngokusemthethweni Pha. Ukubaluleka koko akunakubaxwa, kuba kulapho i umfanekiso ongummangaliso weNenekazi lethu laseGuadalupe ukujinga—ummangaliso owayiphelisa ngokoqobo “inkcubeko yokufa” yama-Aztec apho kwakubingelelwa amakhulu amawaka amadoda, abafazi nabantwana kuthixo oyinyoka uQuetzalcoatl. Ukuze eso sixeko “samaKatolika” siphinde siwamkele amadini abantu ngaloo ndlela sinikela igazi kuloo nyoka yamandulo uSathana kwakhona (ngoku kumagumbi angenazintsholongwane endaweni yeenduli zetempile) yinguquko emangalisayo. 

Ewe kunjalo, ivoti yamva nje yaseIreland ilandela kwizithende zeReferendum yabo yoMtshato ngo-2015 apho ukuchazwa ngokutsha komtshato kuye kwamkelwa. Eso yayisisilumkiso esaneleyo sokuba uthixo oyinyoka ubuyele eIreland…

 

AMANQAKU

“Ngandlel’ ithile,” watsho njalo unjingalwazi waseIreland wezakwalizwi ngokuziphatha . . .

...isiphumo esibi [isibini esithathwini sivotela ukuqhomfa] yinto kanye umntu anokuyilindela, xa sijonga ihlabathi lale mihla elingenabukholo nelinembono elungeleleneyo esiphila kulo, ingxelo embi yeCawa yamaKatolika eIreland nakwezinye iindawo ngokuphathelele amahlazo okuxhatshazwa kwabantwana ngokwesini, ubuthathaka bokuziphatha kakubi ngokwesini. Indlela yeCawe yokufundisa ngemibandela yokuziphatha nokuziphatha kumashumi ambalwa eminyaka adlulileyo... -Ileta yakho

Umntu akanakukujongela phantsi oko amanyundululu angokwesini kubefundisi aye awenza ehlabathini lonke ukujongela phantsi uthumo lukaYesu Kristu. 

Ngenxa yoko, ukholo olunjalo alukholeleki, kwaye iBandla alinako ukuzibonakalisa ngokwalo njengomvakalisi weNkosi. -IPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya kweLizwe, uPapa, iCawa, kunye neMiqondiso yamaXesha: Incoko noPeter Seewald, iphe. 23-25

Bobabini uBenedict XVI noPopu Francis baye bagxininisa kwelokuba iCawa ayibandakanyeki ekuguquleleni abantu kunqulo kodwa ikhula “ngomtsalane.”^[1]"Icawa ayibandakanyeki kuguquka. Endaweni yoko uyakhula ngo "kutsala": kanye njengokuba uKristu “ezitsalela kuye zonke izinto” ngamandla othando lwakhe, efikelela incopho yawo ngedini loMnqamlezo, ngoko iBandla lizalisekisa uthumo lwalo ukusa kwinqanaba lokuba, ngokumanyene noKristu, liphumeze wonke umsebenzi walo ngokomoya. nokuxelisa uthando lweNkosi yakhe.” -BENEDICT XVI, Ohlala Ekhaya Ngokuvulwa Kwenkomfa Jikelele yesihlanu yoBhishophu baseLatin American naseCaribbean, ngoMeyi 13, 2007; IVatican.va Ukuba kunjalo, ngoko ke amanani anciphayo eCawa yamaKatolika eNtshona abonisa ukufa “ngokucekisa.” Yintoni kanye kanye enikelwa yiCawe yaseYurophu nakuMntla Merika ehlabathini? Sibonakala njani sahlukile kunawo nawuphi na umbutho wesisa? Yintoni esahlulayo? 

Unjingalwazi wezakwalizwi, uF. UJulián Carrón wathi:

UbuKristu bubizwa ukuba bubonise inyaniso yabo kumhlaba wokwenyani. Ukuba abo badibana nayo ababufumani ubutsha obuthembisayo, ngokuqinisekileyo baya kudana. -Ukunciphisa Ubuhle: Isincoko ngoKholo, iNyaniso, kunye neNkululeko (IYunivesithi yaseNotre Dame Press); icatshulwe kwi Mkhulu, NgoMeyi 2018, iphepha 427-428

Ihlabathi lidane kakhulu. Into engekhoyo kubuKatolika kwiindawo ezininzi asikokungabikho kwezakhiwo ezintle, ingxowa-mali eyaneleyo, kwaneenkonzo eziphucukileyo. Yeyona amandla oMoya oyiNgcwele. Umahluko phakathi kweCawa yangaphambili nasemva kwePentekoste yayingelolwazi kodwa ngamandla, ukukhanya okungabonakaliyo okwagqobhoza iintliziyo nemiphefumlo yabantu. Yayiyi ukukhanya kwangaphakathi eyayimpompoza iphuma phakathi kwabapostile ngenxa yokuba babeziqongqothe ukuze bazaliswe nguThixo. Njengoko sifunda kwiVangeli yanamhlanje, uPetros wathi: “Sincame yonke into sakulandela.”

Ingxaki asikokuba thina baseCaweni asiyiphathi kakuhle intlangano side senze umsebenzi wentlalontle ofanelekileyo, kodwa kukuba esehlabathini. Asiziqongqothanga. Asizange siyilahle inyama yethu okanye iminikelo ekhazimlayo yehlabathi, kwaye ngenxa yoko, siye saba yinyumba kwaye asinamandla.

… Ukuthanda izinto zehlabathi yingcambu yobubi kwaye kunokusikhokelela ekuyekeni izithethe zethu kunye nokuxoxa ngokunyaniseka kuThixo osoloko ethembekile. Le… ibizwa ngokuba uwexuko, olu… luhlobo "lokukrexeza" olwenzekayo xa sithetha-thethana ngobume bobukho bethu: ukunyaniseka eNkosini. —UPOPA UFRANCIS ovela kwikhaya, I-Vatican Radio, nge-18 kaNovemba ka-2013

Kunceda ntoni ukuba newebhusayithi egqibeleleyo okanye eyona homily liciko ukuba amazwi ethu kwaye asidluliseli nto ngaphandle kobuchule bethu bobugcisa okanye ubuhlakani?

Iindlela zokuhambisa ivangeli zilungile, kodwa nezona zihambele phambili azinakho ukubuyisela isenzo soMoya. Olona lungiselelo lufanelekileyo lomvangeli alunampembelelo ngaphandle koMoya oyiNgcwele. Ngaphandle kukaMoya oyiNgcwele, olona lwimi lukholisayo alunamandla entliziyweni yomntu. —USIKELELO POPE PAUL VI, Iintliziyo zivutha: UMoya oyiNgcwele kwintliziyo yoBomi bobuKrestu namhlanje ngu-Alan Schreck

ICawe ayipheleli nje ekusileleni shu mayele ngobomi obuzaliswe nguMoya kunye namazwi, kodwa woyisakala kwinqanaba lendawo fundisa abantwana bakhe. Ngoku ndinesiqingatha senkulungwane ubudala, yaye andizange ndeva nelinye icwecwe elithetha ngoqingqo-nzala, ngaphandle kwenkoliso yeenyaniso zokuziphatha ezingqingiweyo namhlanje. Ngoxa abanye abefundisi noobhishophu baye banenkalipho enkulu ekuphumezeni umsebenzi wabo, amava am aqheleke kakhulu.

Abantu bam bayatshabalala ngenxa yokuswela ukwazi! ( Hoseya 4:6 )

Oku kusilela kungamandla kusisiphumo senkqubo yeModernism, eye yazisa inkcubeko yokunxibelelana kwiiseminari nakuluntu ngokufanayo, ngaloo ndlela iguqulela abaninzi eCaweni ukuba babe ngabahlobo. amagwala abaqubuda esibingelelweni sikaYehova uthixo wokuchaneka kwezopolitiko. 

… Akukho ndlela ilula yokuyithetha. Icawe eMelika iwenzile umsebenzi ombi wokudala ukholo kunye nesazela samaKatolika ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-40. Kwaye ngoku sivuna iziphumo-kwindawo kawonke-wonke, kwiintsapho zethu nakwisiphithiphithi sobomi bethu. -Ubhishophu omkhulu uCharles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., Ukunikezela kuKesare: Ubizo lwezopolitiko lwamaKatolika, NgoFebruwari 23, 2009, eToronto, eCanada

Kwaye ingengabo abelusi kuphela. Nathi, zizimvu, asiyilandelanga iNkosi yethu, eyayenzayo Wazicacisa ngentaphane yezinye iindlela namathuba apho abelusi baye basilela khona. Ukuba ihlabathi alikholwa kuKristu, kungenxa yokuba lingambonanga uKristu ekuKristu abantu abadala. Thina—ingengabo abefundisi—“ityuwa nokukhanya” iNkosi ethe yasasazwa kwindawo yemarike. Ukuba ityuwa ithe yakonakala, okanye ukukhanya akubangakho, kungenxa yokuba sidyojwe lihlabathi, senziwe mnyama sisono. Lowo umfuna ngenene uYehova uya kumfumana, nakuloo nto ulwalamano lomntu, ziya kuqaqambisa uBomi bobuthixo nenkululeko ezisa.

Into elangazelelwa yiyo yonke indoda, umfazi, nomntwana, yinkululeko yokwenyaniso, kungekuphela nje kulawulo lobuzwilakhe, kodwa ubukhulu becala ngokukodwa kumandla esono alawulayo, aphazamisayo, nesibayo. uxolo lwangaphakathi. Ke, utshilo uPope Francis ngale ntsasa, kuyimfuneko ukuba we yibani ngcwele, oko kukuthi, abangcwele;

Ubizo lobungcwele, olulubizo oluqhelekileyo, lubizo lwethu lokuphila njengamaKristu; Ukuphila njengomKrestu kuyafana nokuthi 'ukuphila njengengcwele'. Amaxesha amaninzi sicinga ngobungcwele njengento engaqhelekanga, njengokuba nemibono okanye imithandazo ephakamileyo… okanye abanye bacinga ukuba ubungcwele buthetha ukuba nobuso obunjalo… hayi. Ukuba ngcwele yenye into. Kukuqhubeka ngale ndlela iNkosi isixelela ngayo ngobungcwele… ungalandeli imifuziselo yehlabathi—ungalandeli ezo ndlela zokuziphatha, laa ndlela yokucinga yehlabathi, indlela yokucinga nokugweba elikunika yona ihlabathi ngenxa yokuba oku kuyabahlutha. wena wenkululeko. —Ikhaya, ngoMeyi 29, 2018; Zenit.org

 

IIMFAZWE ZIKATOLIKA

Kodwa ngubani ophulaphule uPopu kule mihla? Hayi, nokuba amazwi acacileyo nayinyaniso, ezifana nezi zingasentla, zilahlwa enkunkumeni namhlanje ngamaKhatholika amaninzi “abambeleleyo” kuba uPopu ebebhideka ngamanye amaxesha. Baye ke bathathele kumajelo eendaba ezentlalo bathi "uPopu uFrancis uyayitshabalalisa iCawe"... bonke, ngelixa ilizwe lijonge ukuzibuza ukuba kutheni emhlabeni bengathanda ukujoyina iziko elisebenzisa eyona ntetho inganyamezelekiyo omnye komnye, bayeke ubunkokeli babo. . Apha, amazwi kaKristu abonakala ngathi asindile kule mihla:

Ngayo le nto baya kwazi bonke, ukuba ningabafundi bam, ukuba nithe nathandana. (UYohane 13:35)

Kule minyaka ingaphezu kwamashumi amabini anesihlanu ndikwinkonzo, kulusizi ukuthi, ngawona maKatolika “esithethe” angqineke engawona maKatolika. abantu abantliziyo zilukhuni, abanoburhalarhume, nabangenabubele ndiye ndadana ngokuncokola nabo.

Ukucinga okufanelekileyo kwemfundiso okanye uqeqesho kukhokelela endaweni ye-narcissistic kunye ne-elitism egunyazisiweyo, apho endaweni yokuhambisa ivangeli, umntu ahlalutye kwaye ahlele abanye, kwaye endaweni yokuvula umnyango wobabalo, umntu uphelisa amandla akhe ekuhloleni nasekuqinisekiseni. Kuzo zombini ezi meko akukho mntu ukhathala ngokwenene ngoYesu Kristu okanye abanye. -IPOPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, n. I-94 

Kukho into ehambe kakubi kakhulu kunxibelelwano namhlanje. Umthamo wethu wokuba nokungavisisani okuchubekileyo uye waphela ngokukhawuleza kwiminyaka nje embalwa. Abantu basebenzisa i-intanethi namhlanje njengenqama yokubetha ukunyanzela izimvo zabo. Xa oku kusenzeka phakathi kwamaKristu, kuba ngunobangela wehlazo.

Zamani ukuba noxolo nabantu bonke, nobungcwele, ekungekho namnye uya kuyibona iNkosi, engenalo; kodwa ukuba andinalo uthando, andincedi lutho. ( Hebhere 12:14; 1 Kor 13:3 )

Owu, kukangaphi ndifumanisa ukuba asiyiyo le nto ndiyithethayo kodwa njani Ndiyayithetha loo nto yenze umahluko!

 

Iziganeko zepapa

Ukungacaci kakuhle okuye kwalandela uPontificate kaFrancis kukwadala ihlazo. Umntu akanakukwazi ukubuyisela ezo zihloko eziye zabhengeza ukuba uPopu uthi “Akukho Sihogo” okanye “uThixo wakwenza ifanasini.” Ndifumene iileta ezivela kwabaguqukele kubuKatolika abazibuzayo ngoku ukuba benze impazamo enkulu na. Abanye bacinga ukuyishiya iCawa ukuze baye kumaOthodoki okanye kwiimfundiso zeVangeli. Abanye abefundisi baye bandichazela ukuba babekwe kwiimeko ezilalanisayo apho amalungu omhlambi wabo, aphila ngokukrexeza, acele ukufumana uMthendeleko Ongcwele ngenxa yokuba “uPopu wathi singawufumana.” Kwaye ngoku sinemeko emaxongo apho iikholeji zikabhishophu zenza izibhengezo ngokupheleleyo ezichaseneyo nezinye iinkomfa zikabhishophu.

Ukuba besisenza nayiphi na indlela ekhokelela kumanyano namaKristu eVangeli, uninzi lwezo ndlela ziye zalinywa zaza zahlwayelwa ngembewu yokungathembani.

Ndiye ndamkhusela uPope Francis kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo ngesizathu sokuba unguVicar kaKristu-nokuba uyathanda okanye awuthandi. Uye wafundisa, yaye usaqhubeka efundisa izinto ezininzi eziyinyaniso, nangona kukho ukudideka okucacileyo okukhulayo imihla ngemihla. 

Kufuneka sincedise uPapa. Kufuneka sime naye njengokuba besinokuma notata wethu. -Khadinali uSara, nge-16 kaMeyi ka-2016, Iileta ezivela kwiJenali kaRobert Moynihan

Siyamnceda uPopu—kwaye sikuphephe ukubangela ihlazo kwabangakholwayo—xa sizabalazela ukuqonda oko uPopu wayekuthetha okanye wayekuthetha ngokwenene; xa simnika inzuzo yokuthandabuza; kwaye xa singavumelani nenkcazo ye-cuff engaqondakaliyo okanye izimvo ezingezizo ezoomantyi, oko kwenziwa ngendlela enentlonipho kunye neqonga elifanelekileyo. 

 

USOPOLITIKO “KUKATHOLIKA”

Okokugqibela, thina maKhatholika sisilele ihlabathi xa abezopolitiko bethu bethanda Inkulumbuso uJustin Trudeau kunye nentaphane yabanye abakhweli bezopolitiko abathe bafeketha iMisa yethu yangeCawe bazivakalisa njengabakhuseli bamalungelo abantu, ngalo lonke ixesha bewanyathela—ingakumbi amalungelo okwenene abona bantu babuthathaka. Ukuba inkululeko yonqulo iye yaphukelwa yinqanawa ngokupheleleyo kumaxesha ethu, ngumbulelo omkhulu koosopolitiki abangamaKatolika kunye nemibutho yokuvota eye yanyula amadoda namabhinqa angenamqolo abawathanda kakhulu amandla kunye neeajenda ezichanekileyo kwezopolitiko kunoYesu Kristu. 

Akumangalisi ke ngoko ukuba imifanekiso yeNenekazi Lethu (uBenedict XVI ayibiza ngokuba “sisipili seCawa”) kuthiwa ilila kulo lonke ihlabathi. Lixesha lokuba sijongane nenyaniso: iCawa yamaKatolika isisithunzi nje sempembelelo eyayinayo ngaphambili; umlingo ongaqondakaliyo owaguqula ubukhosi, imithetho emile, kunye nobugcisa, umculo kunye nezakhiwo. Kodwa ngoku, ukuvumelana kwakhe nehlabathi kuye kwadala a Umshini omkhulu leyo izaliswa ngokukhawuleza ngumoya womchasi-Kristu kunye a UbuKomanisi obutsha efuna ukuthatha indawo yolungiselelo lukaBawo oseZulwini.

Ngokuhamba kwengqondo yoKhanyo, imvukelo eyalandelayo yokuchasa unqulo yeMvukelo yaseFransi, nokugatywa okunzulu kwengqondo kwembono yehlabathi yobuKristu efuziselwa nguMarx, uNietzsche, noFreud, kwaveliswa amandla kwinkcubeko yaseNtshona eyathi ekugqibeleni yakhokelela ekubeni kungekhona Ukuchaswa kobudlelwane becawe norhulumente obabakho kwiinkulungwane ezininzi kodwa ukuchaswa kwenkolo ngokwayo njengomyili osemthethweni wenkcubeko… Ukuwohloka kwenkcubeko yobuKristu, ebuthathaka kwaye engaqondakaliyo njengoko kwakunjalo ngandlela thile, kuzichaphazele ngokunzulu iinkolelo nezenzo. yamaKatolika abhaptiziweyo. -Ingxaki yoSakramente yangemva kweNgqobhoko: Ubulumko bukaThomas Aquinas, uGqr Ralph Martin, iphe. 57-58

 

UKUHLELA KAKHULU

Ubani usenokubuza ngokusengqiqweni, “Kutheni uhleli kwiCawa yamaKatolika?”

Ewe, sele ndijongene neso sihendo kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo (cf. Hlala, kwaye Ukhanyise). Isizathu sokuba ndingahambi ngoko sesinye bendingenakuze ndisishiye namhlanje: ubuKristu abuyinkolo, buyindlela esa enkululekweni yokwenyani (kunye noThixo); UbuKatolika bubo obuchaza imida yaloo ndlela; Ngoko ke, unqulo luhamba nje ngaphakathi kubo.

Abantu abathi bangabantu bomoya kodwa abalufuni unqulo abanyanisekanga. Ngenxa yokuba xa besiya kwindawo abayithandayo yokuthandazela okanye intlanganiso yomthandazo; xa bexhoma umfanekiso kaYesu abawuthandayo okanye bakhanyise ikhandlela ukuze bathandaze; xa behombisa uMthi weKrismesi okanye bathi “Haleluya” rhoqo kusasa ngePasika… oko is unqulo. Inkolo yintlangano nje kunye nokwakhiwa komoya ngokweseti yeenkolelo ezingundoqo. “UbuKatolika” baqalisa xa uKristu wanyula amadoda alishumi elinesibini ukuba afundise yonke into awayalelayo aze ‘enze abafundi abantu beentlanga zonke. Oko kukuthi, kwakuza kubakho umyalelo kuyo yonke loo nto.  

Kambe ke lo myalelo uchazwa ngabantu abangafezekanga, endingomnye wabo. Kuba emva kwayo yonke le nto ndiyithethileyo ngasentla-ezinye zazo zibhalwe iinyembezi-ndizijonga kwaye ndiphalaze ngakumbi… 

Qaphela ukuba indoda eyathunyelwa yiNkosi njengomshumayeli ibizwa ngokuba ngumlindi. Umlindi uhlala emi endaweni ephakamileyo ukuze abone kude kude oko kuza. Nawuphi na umntu omiselwe ukuba abe ngumlindi wabantu makaphakamise ubomi bakhe bonke ukuze abancede ngokubona kwangaphambili. Kunzima kangakanani kum ukuthetha oku, kuba ngawo la magama ndiyazigxeka. Andikwazi ukushumayela ngobuchule, kwaye nangona ndiphumelela, kunjalo nje andibuphili ubomi bam ngokushumayela kwam. Andilukhanyeli uxanduva lwam; Ndiyaqonda ukuba ndiyonqena kwaye andikhathali, kodwa mhlawumbi ukuvuma kwesiphoso sam kuya kundenza ndixolelwe ngumgwebi wam olungileyo. —St. UGregory Omkhulu, usapho, Ubungakanani bamaxesha eeyure, Umqu. IV, iphe. 1365-66

Andinazintloni ngokuba ngumKatolika. Kunoko, ukuba asingomaKatolika ngokwaneleyo.

Kum kubonakala ngathi "ukusetwa kwakhona" okukhulu kweCawe kuya kuba yimfuneko ekufuneka ihlanjululwe kwaye yenziwe lula kwakhona. Ngephanyazo, amazwi kaPetros afumana intsingiselo ehlaziyiweyo njengoko singaboni nje kuphela ihlabathi lisiba lobuhedeni kwakhona, kodwa iBandla ngokwalo likwisiphithiphithi, njenge “…^[2]UKhadinali Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI), Matshi 24, 2005, ukucamngca ngolwesiHlanu oLungileyo malunga nokuwa kwesithathu kukaKristu

Kuba lixesha lokuba umgwebo uqale ngendlu kaThixo; ukuba iqala kuthi, iyakuphela njani kwabo basilelayo ukuthobela iindaba ezilungileyo zikaThixo? (1 Petros 4:17)

Icawe iya kuba ncinci kwaye kuya kufuneka iqale ngokutsha ngaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi kwasekuqaleni. Akasayi kuphinda akwazi ukuhlala kwizakhiwo ezininzi ezakhayo enempumelelo. Njengoko inani labalandeli bakhe lisiya lincipha… Uya kuphulukana noluntu lwakhe oluninzi amalungelo... Inkqubo iya kuba yinde kwaye idinise njengoko yayiyindlela esuka kwinkqubela phambili yobuxoki ngobusuku beNguquko yaseFransi- xa ubhishophu enokuthi acingelwe ukuba ulumkile ukuba wayehlekisa ngeemfundiso kwaye ade athi ubukho bukaThixo abuqinisekanga ... Kodwa xa ukuvavanywa koku kuhluzwa kudlulile, amandla amakhulu aya kumpompoza ukusuka kwiBandla elenziwe lula ngokwasemoyeni nelenziwe lula. Amadoda kwihlabathi elicwangcisiweyo ngokupheleleyo aya kuzifumana engamalolo ngendlela engathethekiyo. Ukuba baye bamlibala ngokupheleleyo uThixo, baya kutyhwatyhwa bubuhlwempu babo. Emva koko baya kuwufumana umhlambi omncinane wamakholwa njengento entsha ngokupheleleyo. Baya kuyifumana njengethemba elilungiselelwe bona, impendulo ababesoloko beyifuna emfihlekweni.

Kwaye ke kubonakala ngokuqinisekileyo kum ukuba iBandla lijongene namaxesha anzima kakhulu. Ingxaki yokwenyani sele iqalile. Kuya kufuneka sithembele kwiziphithiphithi ezoyikekayo. Kodwa ndiqinisekile ngokulinganayo malunga nokuza kuhlala esiphelweni: hayi iBandla lenkolo yezopolitiko, esele ifile neGobel, kodwa yiCawa lokholo. Isenokungabi lelona gunya liphezulu lwentlalo ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba awayekulo kude kube ngoku; kodwa uyonwabele intyatyambo entsha kwaye abonwe njengekhaya lomntu, apho aya kufumana khona ubomi nethemba ngaphaya kokufa. -Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (POPE BENEDICT XVI), Ukholo kunye nekamva, Ignatius Press, ka-2009

 

Le ngoma ndayibhala kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo ndiseIreland.
Ngoku ndiyasiqonda isizathu sokuba iphefumlelwe apho...
