THE isithombe esingenhla sifingqa kahle indlela abangakholwa ngayo namuhla abawuthola ngayo umyalezo ophakathi weVangeli kusiko lethu lesikhathi samanje. Kusukela ezinhlelweni zeLate Night kuya ku-Saturday Night bukhoma kwi-The Simpsons, ubuKrestu buyekelwa njalo, imiBhalo ilulazwe, nomyalezo ophambili weVangeli, wokuthi “uJesu uyasindisa” noma “uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangaka…” selincishisiwe kwizitikha ezikhulukazi nakuma-baseball backstops. Ngeza kulokho iqiniso lokuthi ubuKatolika bonakaliswe yihlazo ngemuva kwehlazo ebupristini; UbuProthestani bugcwele ukuqeda amasonto nokuziphatha okuhle; futhi ubuKristu obushunyayelwayo kwesinye isikhathi buwukubonakaliswa kwesekisi okufana nomzwelo ngezinto ezingabazekayo.
Ngempela, i-intanethi, umsakazo, neziteshi zekhebula ezingamahora angama-24 zakha ukusakazwa kwamagama angcwele maduze ahlangana ne-cacophony yomsindo okuwuphawu lwesikhathi sethu sobuchwepheshe. Okukhathaza kakhulu kunakho konke, ukuthi kunenkinga yangempela yokukholwa emhlabeni lapho abantu abaningi “bekholelwa kuNkulunkulu” —kodwa awusoze wazi ukuthi yimuphi unkulunkulu, ukuthi baphila kanjani.
Ngenxa yalokho, ukukholwa okunjalo kuye kungakholakali, futhi iSonto alisakwazi ukuzethula ngokwethenjelwa njengommemezeli weNkosi. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, UPapa, iSonto, Nezimpawu Zezikhathi: Ingxoxo noPeter Seewald, k. 23-25
Kukulesi simo lapho bobabili uPapa Benedict XVI noFrancis benze inkuthazo, uma kungenjalo iziqondiso zabefundisi eziphathelene nendlela yokuvangela isiko eseliphenduke iZwi likaNkulunkulu.
Ukuheha, hhayi ukuphoqelelwa
UPapa Francis wagudluza izimpaphe zamaKhatholika amaningi ngesikhathi kuthiwa ngesikhathi exoxa nomuntu ongakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu uDkt. Eugenio Scalfari wathi:
Ukuguqula abantu kungamampunge, akunangqondo. Kumele sazane, silalelane futhi sithuthukise ulwazi lwethu lomhlaba osizungezile.—Ingxoxo, Okthoba 1, 2013; repubblica.it
Ngithi kusolwa ngoba uScalfari uvumile ngemuva kwalokho ukuthi inhlolokhono ayibhalwanga futhi akabhalanga manothi. Uthe: “Ngizama ukuqonda umuntu engixoxa naye, bese ngemuva kwalokho ngibhala izimpendulo zakhe ngamazwi ami.” [1]Irejista Kazwelonke YamaKatolika, -Nov 12, 2013 Njengombiki ntatheli wezindaba nami, kwangimangaza kancane lokho kuvulwa. Ngempela, inhlolokhono ibinganembile ngokwanele ukuthi iVatican, eqale ukufaka le ngxoxo kwi-webhusayithi yayo, yabe isidonsa kamuva. [2]Ibid.
Yize kunjalo, uPapa kamuva washiya ukungabaza ngokuthi uzizwa kanjani “ngokuguqula abantu” lapho ethi eSt. Peter's Square:
INkosi ayiguquli abantu; Unika uthando. Futhi lolu thando lukufuna futhi lulinde wena, okwamanje ongakholwa noma ukude. Futhi lolu uthando lukaNkulunkulu. —UPAPA FRANCIS, u-Angelus, eSt. Peter's Square, ngoJanuwari 6, 2014; Izindaba ZamaKatolika Ezizimele
Kwabanye, la magama "yisibhamu esibhemayo" leso Ukufakazela UFrancis ungumuntu wesimanjemanje uma engeyena uFreemason ozama ukudala inkolo ejwayelekile, i-hodge-podge enobumbano yobumbano ngaphandle kweqiniso. Vele, ubengasho lutho okungakaze kushiwo ngumanduleli wakhe:
ISonto alihlanganyeli nokuguqula abantu. Esikhundleni salokho, uyakhula ngo- "ukukhanga": njengoba nje noKrestu “edonsela konke kuye” ngamandla othando lwakhe, afinyelela umvuthwandaba ngomhlatshelo weSiphambano, kanjalo-ke iSonto lifeza umsebenzi walo kuze kuthi, ngokubambisana noKristu, lifeze yonke imisebenzi yalo ngokomoya nokulingisa okusebenzayo kothando lweNkosi yakhe. —UBENEDICT XVI, Ohlonishwa Ngokuvulwa Kwengqungquthela Yesihlanu Yababhishobhi baseLatin America naseCaribbean, ngoMeyi 13, 2007; v Vatican.va
Lapho ngiveza lokhu ekubhaleni kwami kokugcina, [3]Ngubani Owasho Lokho? impendulo yabanye ukuthi ngangimane ngifakazela ukuthi uBenedict XVI, uJohn Paul II, njll. nabo babengabesimanjemanje. Njengoba kuyinqaba futhi kucishe kubabazeke njengoba lokho kuzwakala, ngiyazibuza ukuthi ngabe la maKatolika avele abe nencazelo ehlukile yokuguqula abantu kunalokho okwethulwayo? Noma kunjalo, angiqiniseki. Ngibona igebe phakathi kokuthi abanye babona kanjani ukuthi kufanele sishumayele nalokho opapa abakufundisayo, nokuthi lelo gebe, ngombono wami, liyingozi. Ngoba ubufandamentali bobuKristu bungalimaza njengokugcina iqiniso lifihliwe.
INKULULEKO, HHAYI ukuphoqa
Esikhathini sawo sokuphila Inothi Lemfundiso Kwezinye Izinkumbi Zokuvangela, iBandla Lemfundiso Yokholo lacacisa umongo wegama elithi “ukuguqula abantu” njengoba lingasasho nje “umsebenzi wezithunywa zevangeli.”
Muva nje… leli gama selibe nomqondo ongemuhle, lisho ukukhushulwa kwenkolo ngokusebenzisa izindlela, nangezinhloso, eziphikisana nomoya weVangeli; okungukuthi, engavikeli inkululeko nesithunzi somuntu. —Cf. umbhalo waphansi n. 49
Yilokhu okushiwo-ke, lapho uFrancis ethi, "ukushumayela ivangeli akukwenzi ukuguqula abantu": [4]Ngasekhaya, Meyi 8, 2013; Umsakazo Vaticana ukuthi sizokwakha amabhuloho, hhayi izindonga. Lawa mabhuloho-ke abe yizindlela okwedlula kuzo ukugcwala kweqiniso.
Noma kunjalo, amanye amaKatolika ezwa lokhu ngokuthi "ukuyekethisa, hhayi ukushumayela ivangeli." Kepha lokho ukubeka ngokusobala amagama emlonyeni kaPontiff angekho. Ngoba wayecaca ngokuphelele ngenhloso yokuthunywa kwethu kobuKristu lapho ethi:
...ukudluliswa kokholo lobuKristu kuyinjongo yokushumayela okusha kanye nayo yonke imishini yokuvangela yeSonto ekhona ngenxa yalesi sizathu. Ngaphezu kwalokho inkulumo ethi "ukushunyayelwa okusha" isinika ukukhanya ekuqapheleni okucacile ukuthi amazwe anesiko lasendulo lobuKristu nawo adinga i-
isimemezelo esivuselelwe weVangeli ukubabuyisela ekuhlanganeni noKristu okuguqula impilo futhi okuyikho hhayi ngokweqilel, ephawulwe ngokujwayelekile. —UPOPA FRANCIS, Ekhuluma Nomkhandlu Ojwayelekile we-13 kaNobhala Jikelele weSinodi Yababhishobhi, ngoJuni 13, 2013; v Vatican.va (Ukugcizelela kwami)
Ngabe uJohn Paul II Obusisiwe akazange abize iSonto "ngezindlela ezintsha nangezindlela ezintsha" kanye nezincazelo zeVangeli? Yebo, ngoba ukuya kumuntu othile esonweni sokufa owakhuliswa ngokungazi ngokukholwa nokuziphatha kweSonto futhi ebatshela ukuthi bazoya esihogweni, cishe kuzobavimba eminyango yeSonto isikhathi eside kakhulu. Uyabona, isiko lethu namuhla liphawuleka ngokungazi okukhulu lapho kuye kwasuswa imigqa phakathi kokuhle nokuhle okuholele “ekulahlekelweni umuzwa wesono.” Kufanele siqale futhi ekuqaleni, sokuncenga isimo esingokomoya sabanye ngokubenza babe nokuhlangana noJesu. INyakatho Melika iyinsimu yezithunywa zevangeli futhi.
Ungangizwa kabi (futhi ngandlela thile, othile uzokwenza): isihogo sikhona; isono singokoqobo; ukuphenduka kungumongo wensindiso. Kodwa siphila emphakathini owathi uPaul VI awuwomele amazwi — sigcwele amagama — kodwa “ubuqiniso.” Ukuba ngumKristu oyiqiniso kusho ukuthi, ngegama elilodwa, ukuba ngu ukuthanda uqobo. Leli kuba yigama "lokuqala" elinikeza ukwethembeka kumagama ethu omlomo, nawo abalulekile, kepha athwalwa yimoto yothando lweqiniso.
Bangakholelwa kanjani kuye abangazange bezwe ngaye? Bangezwa kanjani kungekho oshumayelayo na? (Rom 10:14)
UTHANDO LWAKHA AMABHILOSI…
Kusuka nini lapho insizwa ifika iye entombazaneni enhle, iveze indandatho, bese icela lo muntu engamazi nhlobo ukuba ayishade? Kanjalo futhi, iVangeli alikho mayelana nokwethula uhlu lwamaqiniso nolayini wamachashazi ezansi 
okufanele isayinwe, kepha mayelana nokwethula abanye kufayela le- ubuhlobo. Eqinisweni, umema umuntu othile ukuba abe ngumakoti kaKristu. Ukushunyayelwa kweqiniso kwenzeka lapho bebona uMkhwenyana kuwe.
UJesu wachitha iminyaka emithathu nabaPhostoli. Ngokobuchwepheshe, wayengachitha izinsuku ezintathu, ngoba uKristu akazelanga ukuzoshumayeza umhlaba wonke ngaphambi kothando lwakhe (lokho, wathuma iBandla ukuthi likwenze). UJesu wakha ubudlelwano nomaphi lapho eya khona. Akazange anqikaze ukukhuluma iqiniso, ngisho neqiniso elinzima. Kepha bekuhlala kungumongo wokuthi omunye azi ukuthi bayathandwa futhi bayamukelwa, abalahlwa. [5]isib. Johane 3:17 Yilokho okunikeze amandla amakhulu emazwini Akhe, “Hamba ungabe usona ”: umoni wakhangwa uthando Lwakhe, waze wafuna ukumlandela. ISonto, kusho uBenedict, libizelwe kulokhu "ukulingiswa okusebenzayo kothando lweNkosi yalo" olunikeza iqiniso umngcele walo wangempela.
… INJABULO IMEMELA ABANYE ESIPHAMBANWENI
Uma ukwamukela abanye lapho bekhona futhi ubathande ngalowo mzuzu kubo bonke ubuthakathaka namaphutha abo ukuze wakhe ubuhlobo, ibhuloho, kubalulekile — ngakho-ke yinjabulo ebamemayo ukuthi baqale ukuwela ibhuloho lensindiso.
UDkt Mulholland, uProfesa Ongumsizi eBenedictine College eKansas, ukubeka ngamafuphi:
Engikwenzayo, empeleni, lapho ngihlanganyela inkolo yami akukhona ukuphikisana ngokulungile noma okungalungile. Engikwenzayo ukufakazela ukugcwaliseka, kweqiniso lokuthi impilo kuKristu iletha injabulo nokwaneliseka empilweni yami. Futhi ngokumelene namaqiniso anjalo, azikho izimpikiswano. "ISonto liqinisile mayelana nokuvimbela inzalo futhi wenza isono ngokungahambisani nalo" akunakuphoqa kangako kunokuthi "Ukulandela imfundiso yeSonto mayelana nokuvimbela inzalo kulethe injabulo enkulu nokwaneliseka emshadweni wami." - “Ukufakaza Ukuqhathanisa Ukuphikisana ”, Jan. 29, 2014, zikhona.org
Isikhuthazo Sabaphostoli sikaPapa Francis siqala ngocingo oluhle nolugcotshiwe lokuthi amaKristu abuyele ku injabulo wensindiso yethu. Kepha lokhu akukhona okokwakha amaqembu amancane nokwenza sengathi kuthokozile. Cha!
Injabulo isithelo sikaMoya oNgcwele! Injabulo-ke inamandla okungena enhliziyweni yomunye okuthi, uma unambitha leso sithelo esingaphezu kwemvelo, afune okwengeziwe onakho.
… Umvangeli akufanele abukeke njengomuntu osanda kubuya emngcwabeni! Masivuselele futhi sijulise intshiseko yethu, leyo “njabulo ejabulisayo neduduzayo yokushumayela ivangeli, noma ngabe kulila izinyembezi lapho kufanele sihlwanyele ... ukwamukela izindaba ezimnandi hhayi ezivela kubavangeli abadangele, abadangele, abaphelelwe yisineke noma abakhathazekile, kodwa kubashumayeli beVangeli abaphila impilo yabo ngentshiseko, abathole intokozo kaKristu kuqala ”. —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 10
Amanye amaKrestu aphikisa ngokuthi abantu badinga iqiniso, ngoba iqiniso liyasikhulula. Impela. UKristu is iqiniso. Kepha umbuzo uwukuthi Kanjani sethula iqiniso — ngebludgeon noma njenge- an isimemo Endleleni Nokuphila?
I-ICON YOKUVANGELWA
Zindla ngokuthi uJesu waya kanjani kuZaccaheus, futhi lapho uzothola umehluko phakathi kokuguqula abantu nokushumayela ivangeli. UJesu akazange 
mbuke nje bese uthi, “Usendleleni esheshayo eya esihogweni. Ngilandele." Kunalokho, uthe, “namuhla kumele ngihlale endlini yakho. " Kwakunjalo impela ukutshalwa kwezimali kwesikhathi lokho kwamthinta kanjalo uZaccaheus, yena owayecabanga ukuthi akanalutho futhi akathandeki. Bangaki kithi abazizwa ngale ndlela futhi! Futhi kuqiniswa kuphela iqiniso lokuthi wonke lamaKhristu ami eceleni kwami eMiseni awanalo nhlobo uthando lokungazi, ukungithanda, nokuchitha isikhathi nami — noma ngendlela efanayo. Uyabona, bekuyiqiniso lokuthi uJesu wayezimisele ukumane enze be noZaccaheus owavula inhliziyo yakhe ngeVangeli.
Singakanani isikhathi esidingekayo? Kwesinye isikhathi kuba yimizuzu embalwa kuphela evula umnyango weVangeli. Kwesinye isikhathi kuba yiminyaka. Nganoma yisiphi isizathu, amanye amaKristu ahlala njalo ehlehlisa isibonelo sikaJesu sokuqhumisa abaFarisi ngeqiniso elinzima; ukuthi lokhu, ngandlela thile, kuvumela indlela yabo yokulwa nokushunyayelwa kwevangeli. Kepha bayakhohlwa ukuthi uJesu wachitha iminyaka emithathu exoxa nabo ngaphambi kokuba abajezise ngokuzenzisa kwabo nokuba lukhuni kwezinhliziyo zabo ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba angene ku-Passion Yakhe (ukuvumela ukufa Kwakhe kusho lokho amazwi Akhe angakwenzanga.)
"Isikhathi yisithunywa sikaNkulunkulu," kusho uBusisiwe Peter Faber.
Kufanele sizijwayeze ubuciko bokulalela, okungaphezu kokuzwa nje. Ukulalela, ekukhulumisaneni, kungukuvuleleka kwenhliziyo okwenza ukuthi ukusondelana okungenzeki ngaphandle kokuhlangana kwangempela komoya. —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 171
Ucabanga ukuthi uJesu wenzani ngenkathi esendlini kaZakewu? Ungaqiniseka ukuthi iNkosi yethu yenza lokho eyayikwenza njalo lapho yenza wakha ibhuloho: lalela omunye, bese ukhuluma iqiniso.
Lokhu ngokuqondile lokho okushiwo opapa ngokuvangela, hhayi ukuguqula abantu.
Kumele umelaphe amanxeba. Ngemuva kwalokho singakhuluma ngakho konke okunye. Philisa amanxeba, upholise amanxeba… Futhi kufanele uqale phansi phansi. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, americamagazine.org, Septhemba 30, 2013
