Ababhikishi

 

LAPHO ukufana okuphawulekayo ngaphansi kokubusa kukaPapa Francis noMongameli uDonald Trump. Bangamadoda amabili ahluke ngokuphelele ezikhundleni ezehluke ngokuphelele emandleni, kepha anokufana okuningi okuthakazelisayo okuzungeze amandla abo. Womabili la madoda abangela ukusabela okuqinile phakathi kwabahlali bawo nangaphezulu. Lapha, angibeki noma yisiphi isikhundla kepha kunalokho ngikhomba ukufana ukuze ngidwebe okubanzi futhi okungokomoya isiphetho ngale kwezombusazwe zoMbuso nezeSonto. 

• Ukukhethwa kwamadoda womabili bekuzungezwe impikiswano. Ngokusho kwezinsolo zetulo, kuphakanyisiwe ukuthi iRussia yahlangana ekuqokeni uDonald Trump. Ngokufanayo, lokho okubizwa nge- “St. UGallen Mafia ”, iqembu elincane lokhadinali, benza uzungu lokukhuphula uKhadinali Jorge Bergoglio esikhundleni sobupapa. 

• Yize bungekho ubufakazi obunzima obuvelile bokunikeza icala eliqinile elibhekene nomuntu, abaphikisana noPapa noMongameli bayaqhubeka nokugcizelela ukuthi babambe izikhundla ngokungemthetho. Endabeni kaPapa, kunenhlangano yokumemezela ukuthi upapa wakhe akavumelekile, ngakho-ke, ukuthi "ungumphikisi." Futhi ngoTrump, ukuthi kufanele asuswe esikhundleni futhi ngokufanayo asuswe esikhundleni "njengenkohliso."

• Womabili la madoda enze ukushukuma ngokushesha lapho ekhetha. UFrancis wanikela ngamasiko amaningi opapa afaka nezindlu ezizimele zikapapa, wakhetha ukungena esakhiweni somphakathi ukuze ayohlala nabasebenzi abajwayelekile eVatican. UTrump ukhishwe ngokuthola umholo kamongameli futhi uhlala ehlela imibuthano yokuba nomvoti ovamile. 

• Bobabili laba baholi babhekwa “njengabantu bangaphandle” besikhungo. UFrancis ungowaseNingizimu Melika, owazalelwa kude neziphathimandla zase-Italiya zeSonto, futhi uzwakalise ukudelela kwakhe ubufundisi ngaphakathi kweRoman Curia okubeka umsebenzi phambili kweVangeli. UTrump ungusomabhizinisi obehlala ngaphandle kwezepolitiki impilo yakhe yonke, futhi uzwakalise ukubabukela phansi kwakhe osopolitiki abenza imisebenzi ababeka ikusasa labo ngaphambi kwezwe. UFrancis wakhethwa ukuthi "ahlanze" iVatican ngenkathi uTrump ekhethwa ukuthi "akhiphe ixhaphozi."  

• Beza “njengabantu bangaphandle” futhi mhlawumbe beyizisulu zokungabi nalwazi kwabo “nabasunguli,” bobabili abesilisa bazungeze ngabeluleki kanye nalabo abasebenzisana nabo abebenempikiswano nabadala izinkinga ngobuholi nedumela labo.

• Izindlela ezingajwayelekile lapho bobabili laba besilisa bekhethe ukudlulisa umbono zisuse impikiswano enkulu. UPope Francis, kwesinye isikhathi ngokungagodli futhi ngaphandle kokuhlela, uveze imibono ethambisayo ezindizeni zamapapa. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uTrump-ngaphandle kokuzibekela noma ukuhlela okubonakala kukuningi-uye ku-Twitter. Womabili la madoda kwesinye isikhathi asebenzise ulimi olunokhahlo ukulingisa ozakwabo.

• Abezindaba basebenze “njengabaphikisi abasemthethweni” bebhekisa kunoma iyiphi indoda ejwayelekile futhi ecishe ibe yindawo yonke kubi sondela kunoma iyiphi. Emhlabeni wamaKhatholika, Imithombo yezindaba "elondolozayo" igxile cishe ngokuphelele kuma-glitches kapapa, ukungaqondakali, namaphutha ngenkathi icishe ikushaye indiva ukuthengisa kwakhe imindeni ye-orthodox nezimfundiso. Endabeni kaTrump, abezindaba "abanenkululeko" nabo bakhathazwe ngokuphelele umbono ongemuhle ngenkathi ngokufanayo bengayinaki inqubekela phambili noma impumelelo.

• Hhayi isitayela kuphela kepha okuqukethwe ukubusa kwabo kudale ukwehlukana nolaka phakathi kwabantu ababasebenzelayo. Ngamafuphi, ukuhlala kwabo kusetshenziselwe ukubhubhisa i- isimo sezwe samanje. Ngenxa yalokhu, igebe eliphakathi kwalokhu okubizwa ngokuthi "okugcina" kanye "nokukhululeka" noma "kwesokudla" kanye "nesobunxele" alikaze libe likhulu kangako; imigqa ehlukanisayo ayikaze icace kangako. Ngokumangazayo, phakathi nesonto elifanayo, uPapa Francis wathi akangesabi “ukwahlukana” kwalabo abamphikisayo, kanti uTrump wabikezela uhlobo “lwempi yombango” uma ehlukunyezwa.

Ngamanye amagama, womabili la madoda asebenze njenge abahlukumezi. 

 

NGAPHAKATHI KOKUPHAKATHI KUKANKULUNKULU

I-rancor yansuku zonke ezungeze la madoda cishe ayikaze ibonwe. Ukwehliswa kwesimo seBandla kanye neMelika akukuncane — zombili zinethonya lomhlaba jikelele kanye nomthelela obonakalayo ngekusasa okushintshashintsha umdlalo.

Noma kunjalo, ngiyakholelwa konke lokhu ilele ngaphakathi kokuhlinzekwa nguNkulunkulu. Ukuthi uNkulunkulu akamangazanga ngezindlela ezingajwayelekile zala madoda kodwa ukuthi kufinyelele kulokhu ngomklamo Wakhe. Asinakusho yini ukuthi ubuholi bamadoda womabili bukhiphe abantu ocingweni babayela kolunye uhlangothi noma kolunye? Ukuthi imicabango nezimo zabaningi ziveziwe, ikakhulukazi leyo mibono engagxilile eqinisweni? Impela, izikhundla ezisuselwe eVangelini zikhazimula ngasikhathi sinye nezinkolelo eziphikisana nevangeli ukuqina. 

Umhlaba wehlukaniswa ngokushesha waba amakamu amabili, ubumbano lokulwa noKristu nobuzalwane bukaKristu. Imigqa phakathi kwalaba ababili iyadwetshwa. Kuyoze kube nini impi singazi; ukuthi izinkemba kuzofanele zingagundiwe yini asazi; ukuthi igazi kuzofanele lichithwe yini asazi; ukuthi kuzoba yimpi ehlomile yini asazi. Kepha empikiswaneni phakathi kweqiniso nobumnyama, iqiniso alikwazi ukulahleka. —UMbhishobhi Fulton John Sheen, DD (1895-1979); umthombo awaziwa (mhlawumbe “Ihora LamaKatolika”) 

Ngabe lokhu futhi akubikezelwanga nguPapa John Paul II ngenkathi esengukhadinali emuva e1976?

Manje sesimile sibhekene nengxabano enkulu kunazo zonke emlandweni isintu esidlule kuyo… Manje sibhekene nengxabano yokugcina phakathi kweBandla kanye nabamelene neBandla, leVangeli kanye ne-anti-Gospel, likaKristu nomuntu ophikisana noKrestu. Lokhu kungqubuzana kuphakathi kwezinhlelo zikaNkulunkulu. Kuyisivivinyo iBandla lonke… okumele lisithathe… ukuvivinywa kweminyaka engama-2,000 XNUMX yesiko nempucuko yamaKrestu, nayo yonke imiphumela yayo ekuhlonipheni isithunzi somuntu, amalungelo abantu, amalungelo abantu kanye namalungelo ezizwe. —Ukhadinali Karol Wojtyla (JOHN PAUL II), kusukela enkulumweni yango-1976 eya kubabhishobhi baseMelika ePhiladelphia engqungqutheleni yoMthendeleko

Ubuye ngokuhamba kwesikhathi waqhathanisa lokhu kwehlukaniswa komphakathi nempi eyenzeka eNcwadini yeSambulo phakathi "kowesifazane owembethe ilanga" kanye "nodrako":

Le mpi ifana nokulwa kwe-apocalyptic okuchazwe ku [Rev 11:19-12:1-6]. Ukulwa kulwa nokuphila: “isiko lokufa” lifuna ukuzibophezela esifisweni sethu sokuphila, futhi liphile ngokugcwele… Imikhakha emisha yomphakathi ididekile ukuthi yikuphi okulungile nokungalungile, futhi kuthola isihe kulabo amandla 'okudala' umbono nokuwunqumela kwabanye. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, eCherry Creek State Park Homily, eDenver, eColorado, ngo-1993

Ngokusho kukaSanta ongasekho, sihlala endaweni enqunywe kahle UMarian ihora. Uma kunjalo, esinye isiprofetho siba nokubaluleka okuthile:

USimeyoni wababusisa wathi kuMariya unina, “Bheka, lo mntwana umiselwe ukuwa nokuvuka kwabaningi kwa-Israyeli, futhi abe yisibonakaliso esizophikiswa (nawe ngokwakho inkemba izobhoboza) ukuze imicabango izinhliziyo eziningi zingavezwa. ” (Luka 2: 34-35)

Kuwo wonke umhlaba, izithombe ze-Our Lady bezilokhu zingamafutha noma igazi elikhala ngendlela engaqondakali. Ezibukweni, ababoni abaningi babika ukuthi uhlala ekhala ngesimo somhlaba. Kunjengokungathi isizukulwane sethu simgwazile uMama Wethu futhi njengathi bethela ukukholelwa kuNkulunkulu. Kanjalo, imicabango yezinhliziyo eziningi iyavezwa. Njengoba ukusa kuqala ngaphambi kokukhanya emkhathizwe, ngikholwa ukuthi ama-Agitators akhonza ukusiza lokho "kukhanya kokuqala" ngaphambi kokuba "ukukhanya kwesazela" noma "isexwayiso" okuzayo kufike kuso sonke isintu, njengoba kuchaziwe ku-St. uphawu ”(bheka Usuku Olukhulu Lokukhanya). 

 

Yini okufanele siyenze?

Kufanele sithathe induduzo ethile ngokwazi ukuthi okwenzekayo kubikezelwe. Kusikhumbuza ukuthi uNkulunkulu uphethe kakhulu futhi useduze nathi, njalo.

Nginitshelile kungakenzeki, ukuze kuthi lapho sekwenzeka, nikholwe. (Johane 14:29)

Kepha futhi kufanele kube yisikhumbuzo esisangulukisayo sokuthi ukuthula okulinganayo kwalesi sizukulwane esedlule kuzophela. UMama wethu ubelokhu evela hhayi nje ukusibizela emuva eNdodaneni yakhe kepha futhi ukusixwayisa "Lungiselela. " Kulesi sikhumbuzo sikaSt. Jerome, amazwi akhe angukuvuka okufika ngesikhathi. 

Akukho okumele kwesatshwe njengokuthula okude kakhulu. Uyakhohliswa uma ucabanga ukuthi umKristu angaphila ngaphandle kokushushiswa. Ubhekene nokushushiswa okukhulu kunabo bonke abahlala ngaphansi komunye. Isiphepho sibeka umuntu emlindweni wakhe futhi simphoqa ukuba azikhandle kakhulu ukugwema ukuphukelwa umkhumbi. 

Asikho isiqinisekiso sokuthi iMelika izohlala njengamandla amakhulu. Ngokufanayo, asikho isiqinisekiso sokuthi iSonto lizohlala linethonya elikhulu. Eqinisweni, njengoba ngibhalile The Fall WaseMfihlakalo iBhabhiloni, Ngikholwa ukuthi i-United States (nayo yonke iNtshonalanga) inokuthotshiswa okukhulu nokuhlanzwa okuzayo. O, yeka ukuthi imiBhalo ngaleli Sonto eledlule ngesicebi noLazaru bebonke bakhuluma kanjani noMhlaba waseNtshonalanga! Futhi njengoba abaprofethi abaningana emBhalweni befakazile, iSonto nalo lizokwehliswa libe “yinsali”. I- izibonakaliso zezikhathi khombisa ukuthi lokhu sekuqhubeka kahle.

Ngikholwa ukuthi ama-Agitators, adlala indima ebaluleke kakhulu ekwenzeni lokhu kuhlanjululwa kube nokuveza okuso ezinhliziyweni zomuntu ngamunye. Ingabe thina njengamaKristu sinokholo lapho singasaboni? Ngabe sisasebenza yini ukusiza labo abangekho? Ngabe siyazethemba izithembiso zikaKrestu eBandleni noma sithatha izindaba ezandleni zethu? Ngabe siphakamise osopolitiki ngisho nopapa ngendlela ecishe ikhonze izithombe?

Ekupheleni kwalokhu “kungqubuzana kokugcina,” noma yini eyakhiwe esihlabathini izobhidlika. Ama-Agitators aseqalile vele Ukuzamazama Okukhulu... 

Amandla amaningi azamile, futhi asazama kanjalo, ukubhubhisa iSonto, ngaphandle nangaphakathi, kodwa wona ngokwawo ayabhujiswa futhi iSonto lihlala liphila futhi lithela… Uhlala eqinile ngendlela engaqondakali… imibuso, abantu, amasiko, izizwe, imibono, amandla asedlulile, kepha iBandla, elisekwe kuKristu, noma ngabe kunezivunguvungu eziningi nezono zethu eziningi, lihlala lithembekile ekubambeni kokholo okukhonjiswe ekusebenzeni; ngoba iSonto akulona elopapa, ababhishobhi, abapristi, noma abantu abathembekile; ISonto ngawo wonke umzuzu ngelikaKristu kuphela. —UPOP FRANCIS, Homily, Juni 29, 2015 www.samokume.lcom
