IN Ukuvuka kukapopu ophumayo, onothando, kunye nenguquko kapopu oNgcwele uJohn Paul II, uKhadinali uJoseph Ratzinger waphoswa phantsi komthunzi omde xa wayethatha itrone kaPetros. Kodwa into eyayiza kuphawula ubupopu bukaBenedict XVI kungekudala yayingazukuba buburharha okanye uburharha, ubuntu bakhe okanye amandla akhe - eneneni, wayezolile, ezolile, ephantse ukuba mbi esidlangalaleni. Endaweni yoko, iya kuba yimfundiso yakhe yezakwalizwi engaguqukiyo kunye nepragmatic ngexesha apho iBarque kaPeter yayihlaselwa ngaphakathi nangaphandle. Ibiya kuba yimbono yakhe ecacileyo nengokwesiprofeto yamaxesha ethu eyayibonakala isusa inkungu phambi kwesaphetha salo Mkhukula Omkhulu; kwaye iya kuba yinkolelo engqina amaxesha ngamaxesha, emva kweminyaka engama-2000 yamanzi amaninzi anezaqhwithi, ukuba amazwi kaYesu asisithembiso esingagungqiyo:
Ndithi kuwe, UnguPetros wena, kwaye ndiza kulakhela phezu kolu lwalwa ibandla lam, kwaye amandla okufa akazukusoyisa. (Mat 16:18)
Ubupopu bukaBenedict khange bushukumise ihlabathi mhlawumbi njengomanduleli wakhe. Kunoko, ubupopu bakhe buya kukhunjulwa ngesibakala sehlabathi akazange ayishukumise.
Enyanisweni, ukuthembeka nokuthembeka kukaKhadinali Ratzinger kwakusentsomini ngexesha waba ngupopu ngo-2005. Ndikhumbula umfazi wam ebophelela kwigumbi lokulala apho ndandisalele khona, endivusa ngeendaba endandingazilindelanga ngaloo ntsasa ka-Aprili: “UKhadinali Ratzinger usandul 'ukunyulwa njengoPopu!” Ndaguqula ubuso bam baba ngumqamelo ndalila luvuyo- an obekubonakala uvuyo oluthathe iintsuku ezintathu. Eyona mvakalelo ingamandla yayikukuba iBandla lalisandiselwa ubabalo kunye nokukhuselwa. Ewe siphathwe iminyaka esibhozo ubunzulu obuhle, ubuvangeli kunye nesiprofetho esivela ku-Benedict XVI.
Ngo-2006, ndamenywa ukuba ndicule Ingoma yeKarol eVatican kubhiyozelwa ubomi bukaJohn Paul II. Benedict XVI bekufanele abekho, kodwa amazwi akhe malunga namaSilamsi ahlab' amadlala kwihlabathi jikelele abeka ubomi bakhe esichengeni. Akazange eze. 
Kodwa loo nto yabangela ukudibana okungalindelekanga noBenedict XVI kusuku olulandelayo apho ndaye ndakwazi ukubeka ingoma yam ezandleni zakhe. Impendulo yakhe yacebisa ukuba wayebukele lo mbhiyozo wangokuhlwa kumabonakude. Hayi indlela eyothusayo kwaye yoyikeka ngayo ukuba kubukho bomlandeli weSt. Peter ... kwaye, utshintshiselwano olungalindelekanga lwalungumntu ngokupheleleyo (funda Usuku loMusa).
Kwimizuzu eyadlulayo, bendibukele xa engena eholweni kuculwa abahambi ngezonqulo, kwaye, phantse engakwazi ukumelana ne-rock star ukwamkelwa, wazulazula epasejini ngokuthobeka nokuzola okungalibalekiyo - kunye nobo bugxwayiba obuyintsomi obuthetha ngendoda ekhululekile ngakumbi phakathi. iincwadi zefilosofi ngaphezu kwabancomayo. Kodwa uthando lwakhe kunye nokuzinikela kwakhe kuzo zombini ze ibingumbuzo.
Noko ke, ngoFebruwari 10, 2013, ndahlala phantsi ndithe cwaka njengoko ndandiphulaphule uPopu Benedict evakalisa ukurhoxa kwakhe kwisikhundla sikapopu. Kwiiveki ezimbini ezilandelayo, iNkosi yathetha “ilizwi ngoku” elinamandla ngokungaqhelekanga nelizingisayo entliziyweni yam (kwiiveki ezingaphambi kokuba ndive igama elithi Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio okokuqala):
Ngoku ungena kumaxesha anobungozi kwaye adidayo.
Elo gama lizalisekile kumanqanaba amaninzi, kangangokuba ndibhale ngokwenyani ukulingana kweencwadi ezininzi apha ukuze ndihambe kumanzi anobuqhophololo asandayo eSiqhwithi esikhulu esiye savulelwa umhlaba wonke. Kodwa apha kwakhona, amazwi kunye neemfundiso zikaBenedict zisebenze njengendlu yesibane kwiNkanyamba, isibane esiqinisekileyo esisisiprofeto kunye neankile kwiLizwi langoku kunye nabanye abapostile bamaKatolika abaninzi kwihlabathi jikelele (umz. Ukuphosa umyalezo… womprofeti kaPapa kwaye Ngomhla kaEva).
Eyona nto iphambili yokuqala kwiZihlandi zikaPetros yabekwa yiNkosi kwiGumbi eliphezulu ngendlela ecacileyo: “Wena...Lk 22:32). UPetros ngokwakhe wakumisela oku kubaluleka ngokutsha kwileta yakhe yokuqala: “Nihlale nikulungele ukuziphendulela kuye nabani na onibizayo ukuba niphendule, ngenxa yethemba elingaphakathi kwenu” (1 Pet 3:15). Kwimihla yethu, xa kwiindawo ezinkulu zehlabathi ukholo luphakathi
Ingozi yokufa njengedangatye elingasenabaso, eyona nto iphambili kukwenza uThixo abekho kweli hlabathi nokubonisa amadoda nabafazi indlela eya kuThixo. Ingenguye nawuphi na uthixo, kodwa nguThixo owathetha eSinayi; Kuloo Thixo sibuqondayo ubuso bakhe kuthando olucinezela “kude kube sekupheleni” (cf. Jn 13:1)—kuYesu Krestu, wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni wavuswa. Eyona ngxaki ngalo mzuzu wembali yethu yeyokuba uThixo uyanyamalala elubhakabhakeni lomntu, kwaye, ngokuncipha kokukhanya okuvela kuThixo, uluntu lulahlekelwa ziimpawu zalo, neziphumo eziya zibonakala ziyonakalisa. Ukukhokelela amadoda nabafazi kuThixo. , kuThixo othetha eBhayibhileni: le yeyona nto iphambili nengundoqo yeCawa neyoMngeneli kaPetros okwangoku. -Incwadi Yobungcwele Bakhe uPapa uBenedict XVI oya kubo bonke oBhishophu beHlabathi, NgoMatshi 10, 2009; IVatican.va
Nangona kunjalo, namaxesha ombulelo onzulu, kunye nentlungu, ngopopu othembekileyo onjalo-okanye ikamva lokungaqiniseki-akufunekanga ukuba lusijongele phantsi ukholo lwethu kuYesu. Nguye owakha iBandla, “iBandla lam,” watsho.
Xa oku sikubona kwiinyani zembali, asibhiyozeli abantu kodwa sidumisa iNkosi, engayishiyiyo iBandla kwaye enqwenela ukubonakalisa ukuba uliliwa likaPetros, ilitye elikhubekisayo: "inyama negazi" asisindisi, kodwa iNkosi iyasindisa ngabo benyama negazi. Ukuphika le nyaniso ayisiyonto yokudibanisa ukholo, ayidibanisi nokuthobeka, kodwa kukuncipha ekuthobekeni okuqonda uThixo njengoko enjalo. Ke ngoko isithembiso sikaPetrine kunye nembali yaso eRoma zihlala zikwelona nqanaba liphantsi lenjongo evuselelekayo yovuyo; amandla esihogo ayiyi kuloyisa... -Cardinal Ratzinger (POPE BENEDICT XVI), Ukubizwa kuMthendeleko, Ukuqonda iBandla namhlanje, Ignatius Cinezela, iphe. 73-74
Oku kuchazwe kwilandela likaBenedict:
Imikhosi emininzi izamile, kwaye isayenza, ukutshabalalisa iBandla, ngaphandle nangaphakathi, kodwa yona ngokwayo iyatshatyalaliswa kwaye iCawe ihlala iphila kwaye ineziqhamo… Ihlala yomelele ngendlela engaqondakaliyo… Izikumkani, abantu, iinkcubeko, izizwe, iingcinga, amagunya sele edlulile, kodwa iBandla, elisekwe kuKrestu, ngaphandle kwezaqhwithi ezininzi kunye nezono zethu ezininzi, lihlala lithembekile kwidiphozithi yokholo eboniswe kwinkonzo; kuba iCawa ayingoopopu, oobhishophu, abefundisi, kunye nabantu abathembekileyo; ICawe ngawo wonke umzuzu yekaKristu kuphela. —UPOPA UFRANCIS, Homily, nge-29 kaJuni, 2015 www., ehamb; yay
Ndiqinisekile ukuba lo ngumyalezo ongagungqiyo uBenedict afuna sibambelele kuwo, nokuba iintsuku zethu ziya kuba nesaqhwithi kangakanani na. 
Oopopu nabazali, abantwana bethu namaqabane ethu, abahlobo bethu kunye nabantu esiqhelene nabo baya kuza bedlula… kodwa uYesu unam ngoku, ecaleni kwam, kwaye eso sisithembiso esiqinisekileyo njengayo nantoni na awayithetha kuPetros.
Niyabona, mna ndinani yonke imihla, kude kube sekuphelisweni kwehlabathi. ( Mateyu 28:20 )
Xa umama waswelekayo kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, ndandineminyaka engama-35 kuphela ubudala, enama-62 eminyaka ubudala. Mhlawumbi abanye benu banokuziva ngolu hlobo namhlanje - belahliwe kancinane kwiCawe kaMama ngokucinywa kwelinye lamadangatye aqaqambileyo kule nkulungwane. Kodwa apha, kwakhona, uYesu uyaphendula:
Unina angalulibala yini na usana lwakhe, Angabi namfesane kumntwana wesizalo sakhe? Nokuba angalibala, soze ndikulibale. Uyabona, ndikukrolile ezintendeni zezandla zam.”—Isaya 49:15-16.
Ngapha koko, uBenedict XVI akahambanga. Ukufuphi kuthi ngoku kunangaphambili kuMzimba oMnye, oyimfihlelo kaKristu.
Asinakuyifihla loo nto
amafu amaninzi awoyikisayo ahlanganisana elundini phayaa.
Noko ke, akufuneki sityhafe,
kunokuba, kufuneka sigcine ilangatye lethemba
siphila ezintliziyweni zethu…
