WE bangene kwixesha elithile eCaweni elizakushukumisa ukholo lwabaninzi. Kungenxa yokuba kuya kubonakala ngokungathi ububi boyisile, ngokungathi iBandla alisasebenzi ngokupheleleyo, kwaye, lutshaba kaRhulumente. Abo babambelele nkqi kwinkolo yamaKatolika baya kuba mbalwa ngenani kwaye baqwalaselwe jikelele njengezinto zakudala, ezingenangqondo, kunye nomqobo ekufuneka ususwe.
Ufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje luchaza ukuba kutheni. UPawulos ubhala athi:
‘Umthwese isithsaba sozuko nembeko, izinto zonke uzithobela phantsi kweenyawo zakhe.’ Kanti okwangoku asiziboni “zonke izinto zithotyelwe phantsi kwakhe,” kodwa sibona uYesu “ethweswe isithsaba sozuko nembeko” . . .
Oko kukuthi uloyiso lukaYesu phezu kokufa emnqamlezweni lwawavula amasango eZulu. Kodwa ububi bufana nololiwe omde ongekagqibi ngokupheleleyo kweli hlabathi. UYesu wavulela wonke umntu iingcango ukuba ehle, kodwa ngelishwa, abaninzi abafuni… kwaye ke nguloliwe oqhubeka eshiya umkhondo wokufa emva kwakhe. Kwaye ke, njengamaKristu silinda kwi ukuwela ide imoto yokugqibela yobubi idlule kwesi sizukulwana. Kuba njengoko uSt. John wabhala:
Siyazi ukuba singabakaThixo, nokuba ihlabathi liphela liphantsi kongendawo. (1 Yohane 5:19)
Oko kuthetha ukuba umntu usenenkululeko yokuzikhethela, yaye ngaloo ndlela, uSathana usabambelele entliziyweni yomntu. Njenge uwexuko kwixesha lethu, namandla kaSathana aya kuba njalo. Kodwa njengoko sifunda kwiSityhilelo 12, ukuya ekupheleni kweli phakade (hayi ihlabathi, kodwa eli xesha), ukuba amandla kaSathana uya kuqala umda (kwaye ingqwalaselo Umchasi), aze ashenxiswe ngokupheleleyo ixesha.
Yaphoswa phantsi emhlabeni inamba enkulu, inyoka yakudala, leyo kuthiwa nguMtyholi, noSathana, lowo ulilahlekisayo elimiweyo liphela; nezithunywa zayo zaphoswa phantsi nayo; yema phezu kwentlabathi yolwandle; irhamncwa] inamba yabanika amandla ayo netrone, negunya elikhulu… Ndabona isithunywa sezulu, sisihla siphuma ezulwini, siphethe ngesandla isitshixo senzonzobila, nomxokelelwane onzima. Yayibamba inamba, inyoka yakudala enguMtyholi, uSathana ke, yayibopha iminyaka eliwaka. ( ISityhilelo 12:9, 13:2, 20:1-2 )
Yaye asikukuba uluntu aluyi kuba nenkululeko yokuzikhethela ebudeni beXesha Loxolo elizayo. Noko ke, ekhululwe kwintshutshiso ethe gqolo yamandla esihogo, wazaliswa nguMoya njengakwi iPentekoste entsha, iBandla liya konwabela ixesha lokuphumla nobungcwele obungenakulinganiswa nanto ukulungiselela ukubuya kukaYesu ekupheleni kwexesha.
Iimfundiso zeCawa yamaKatolika, eyapapashwa ngumbutho wezakwalizwi ngowe-1952, yagqiba kwelokuba ayingqubani nokholo lwethu...
… ithemba kuloyiso olunamandla lukaKristu apha emhlabeni ngaphambi kokuzaliseka kwezinto zonke. Isehlo esinjalo asibekelwa bucala, asinakwenzeka, asiqinisekanga ukuba akusayi kubakho xesha lide loloyiso lobuKristu ngaphambi kwesiphelo. -Imfundiso yeCawa yamaKatolika: Isishwankathelo semfundiso yamaKatolika (ELondon: Burns Oates & Washbourne, 1952), iphe. 1140; icatshulwe kwi Ubungangamsha beNdalo, UMfu Joseph Iannuzzi, iphe. 54
Ngoko ke, bazalwana noodade, musani ukushukunyiswa kumandla esihogo, oko kuguqula umfanekiselo wobuthixo ebusweni babantu, akukho nto inokuyenza emphefumlweni wakho kunokuba nomsindo. Musani ukushukunyiswa ngemibono yobumnyama ekugrogrisa ngokufa, ethe yaba lisango loBomi. Musani ukushukunyiswa ngoMnqamlezo, ongumqondiso wentshutshiso yakho, kuba umile ingcambu waba ngumthi woBomi. Musani ukushukunyiswa ngeNgcwaba, elakhe laba mnyama kukuphelelwa lithemba, eliye laba ngumthombo wethemba. Musani ukushukunyiswa ngeendudumo nemibane, ukunyikima komhlaba nokugquma kweelwandle, nto leyo ebonisa isikhalo sokusebenza nokuzalwa kwendalo entsha. Musani ukushukunyiswa ukuba uzive ulahliwe, ubuthathaka, ungenamandla phambi kwamagunya obubi, kuba kukuthobela kwakho uKristu kanye apho uya kuba nesabelo esoyisa ubukumkani bukaSathana emhlabeni. nilawule kunye naye.
…xa ukuvavanywa koku kuhluzwa kudlulile, amandla amakhulu aya kumpompoza aphuma kwiBandla elenziwe lula nelilula. Amadoda kwihlabathi elicwangcisiweyo ngokupheleleyo aya kuzifumana enesithukuthezi esingenakuchazwa. Ukuba baye bamlibala ngokupheleleyo uThixo, baya kutyhwatyhwa bubuhlwempu babo. Emva koko baya kwenza njalo
fumanisa 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
