“Iphilisi”
Umuntu akakwazi ukuyithola leyo njabulo yeqiniso ayilangazelela ngamandla onke omoya wakhe, ngaphandle kokuthi agcine imithetho uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ayiqophile esimweni sakhe uqobo. —I-POPE PAUL VI, I-Humanae Vitae, Encyclical, n. 31; Julayi 25, 1968
IT kwakucishe kube yiminyaka engamashumi amane edlule ngoJulayi 25, 1968, lapho uPapa Paul VI akhipha lo mbhalo oyimpikiswano I-Humanae Vitae. Kungumqulu lapho uBaba oNgcwele, esebenzisa indima yakhe njengomalusi oyinhloko nomgcini wezenkolo, anqume ukuthi ukulawulwa kokuzalwa kokuzenzela kuphambene nemithetho kaNkulunkulu kanye nemvelo.
Cishe kwahlangatshezwana nayo nokuphikiswa nokungalaleli okukhulu kunanoma isiphi isimemezelo sikapapa emlandweni. Wathelwa ngamanzi ngabaphikisi; igunya likapapa liphikiswa; okuqukethwe kanye nemvelo ebophayo ekuziphatheni ichithwa “njengendaba kanembeza womuntu ngamunye” lapho abathembekile bengazenzela khona ezabo izingqondo kule ndaba.
Eminyakeni engamashumi amane ngemva kokukhishwa kwayo, leyomfundiso ayibonisi nje ukuthi ayishintshile eqinisweni layo, kodwa iveza ukubona kude inkinga eyasingathwa ngakho. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eVatican City, Meyi 10, 2008
Ngenxa yalokhu kungaqondakali kokuziphatha, kuphelile 90 amaphesenti yamaKatolika nodokotela bamaKatolika namuhla vumela ukusetshenziswa kokulawula inzalo (bona UHarris Poll, Okthoba 20, 2005).
EMINYAKENI AMASHUMI AMANE NGEMVA
In Ushushiso! Ngabonisa ukuthi ukwamukelwa “kwephilisi” kuye kwaveza kanjani i-tsunami yokuziphatha ebhubhisayo kule minyaka engamashumi amane edlule. Kuye kwafinyelela umvuthwandaba ekuchazweni kabusha komshado nokuphendukezelwa kobulili, ikakhulukazi eNtshonalanga. Manje, leli gagasi, eliye laphahlazeka emiphakathini, emindenini, nasezinhliziyweni, selibuyela emuva olwandle lwamasiko, likhiqiza umsebenzi onamandla uPapa uBenedict awubiza ngokuthi "ubushiqela be-relativism." Ngempela, ukuphikisa le mfundiso—ngokuvamile ekhuthazwa abefundisi ngokwabo—kubangele igagasi lokungalaleli ezinye izimfundiso zeSonto nokudelela igunya lalo.
Amandla acekela phansi kakhulu alo msebenzi ukwehla okujwayelekile kwe- isithunzi somuntu nokuphila, okhiqiza “isiko lokufa” njengokungathi. Ukuzibulala okusizwayo, ukufinyelela okukhulu ekuhushuleni isisu, ukuthethelelwa kodlame nempi, ukusetshenziswa okumangalisayo kwesayensi ukucekela phansi impilo yomuntu ngenjongo yokwelapha, kanye nokuhlanganiswa nokuhlanganiswa kwezakhi zofuzo zezilwane nezomuntu kuphakathi kwezono ezinqwabelanisa ezulwini. , ngaphezu kwalokho umbhoshongo waseBabele.
IMINYAKA YENZATHU… NOMARIYA
“Inkathi Yokucabanga” noma “Yokukhanyiselwa” eyaphela ekuqaleni kwawo-1800 yakha isisekelo sokucabanga okuvumelanayo kosuku lwethu. Ngokuyinhloko yahlukanisa “isizathu” “ekukholweni,” ingenisa ukucabanga kwesimanje namafilosofi aphume njengomusi kaSathane ezindaweni eziphakeme zeBandla.
Kodwa iNkathi Yokucabanga yalandelwa cishe ngokushesha ngenkathi entsha, Inkathi kaMariya. Kwaqala ngokubonakala kweNkosazana Yethu ku-St. Catherine Labouré, kwalandelwa uLourdes noFatima, futhi kwaphawulwa ezikhathini zanamuhla ngemibono egunyaziwe efana no-Akita, nokunye ukuvakasha okusaphenywa. Ingqikithi yazo zonke lezi zibikezelo isimemo sokubuyela kuNkulunkulu, ubizo oluphuthumayo lokuthandaza nokuphenduka ekubuyiseleni izono, nokuguqulwa kwezoni.
Umlayezo waseMarian oya emhlabeni wanamuhla uqala usesimweni sembewu ekwambulweni kweNkosazana Yethu Yomusa e-Rue du Bac, bese unwebeka ngokucacile nangokuqiniswa kulo lonke ikhulunyaka lamashumi amabili kuya esikhathini sethu. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi lo mlayezo waseMarian ugcina ubunye bawo obuyisisekelo njengomyalezo owodwa ovela kuMama oyedwa. —UDkt. UMark Miravalle, Isambulo Sangasese, Ukuqonda NeBandla; p. 52 (omalukeke sigcizelele)
Inkathi Yokucabanga kanye NekaMariya ngokungangabazeki kuxhumene; eyokugcina impendulo yeZulu kweyakuqala. Futhi njengoba isithelo seNkathi Yokucabanga siqhakaza ngokugcwele namuhla, kanjalo nokuphuthuma kanye nezikhathi eziningi zokuvakashelwa kweZulu “sekuqhakaze okugcwele.”
EKUPHAKAMENI KWEMINYAKA AMASHUMI AMANE
Ekubonakaleni kwakhe ku-St. Catherine, owokuqala kule nkathi yama-Marian, i-Our Lady ichaza ngokudabuka okukhulu izilingo ukuza emhlabeni wonke:
Mntanami isiphambano sizodelelwa. Bayowuphonsa phansi. Igazi lizogobhoza. Ziyophinde zivule uhlangothi lweNkosi yethu… Mntanami, umhlaba wonke uzoba lusizi. -kusukela I-Autograph (sic), Feb 7, 1856, Izingobo Zomlando Zamadodakazi Osizo, eParis, eFrance
Lapho uSt. Catherine ezibuza ukuthi “Kuyoba nini lokhu?” wezwa ngaphakathi,"Iminyaka engamashumi amane.” Kodwa izinhlungu akhuluma ngazo uMariya zaqala ukwenzeka ezinsukwini eziyisishiyagalolunye kamuva, umvuthwandaba eminyakeni engamashumi amane kamuva. Kanjalo futhi, imihelo ngemva kwazo zonke izehlakalo ezinkulu ezichazwe kuyo Ingxenye I yaqala ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho.
Kungasiphi isikhathi? Sekusondele kakhulu eminyakeni engamashumi amane emangalisayo yokukhaphela nokuhlubuka, umoya okhulayo wokubulala namanga, ukuhlubuka nokuzidla… futhi uJehova uzungeza phezu kwethu ngosizi olukhulu njengoba ake enza kuma-Israyeli ehlane.
Umbuzo weNkosi: "Wenzeni?", Okungeke kuphunyuke uKayini, kubhekiswe nakubantu banamuhla, ukubenza babone ubukhulu nokuhlaselwa kokuhlaselwa kwempilo okuqhubeka kuphawula umlando wesintu ... Noma ngubani ohlasela impilo yomuntu , ngandlela thile uhlasela uNkulunkulu uqobo. -UPAPA JOHN PAUL II, Evangelim Vitae; n. 10
Ingabe nathi, njengama-Israyeli, siyamcunula uNkulunkulu wethu olesihawu nomusa, ophuza ukuthukuthela, ochichima umusa?
Namuhla, lalelani izwi likaJehova: ningabi lukhuni njengalokho benza oyihlo ehlane, lapho eMeriba naseMasa bangiphikisa, bangicunula, nakuba babeyibonile yonke imisebenzi yami. Iminyaka engamashumi amane ngasibekezelela leso sizukulwane. Ngathi: Bangabantu abanezinhliziyo eziphambukayo futhi abazi izindlela zami. Ngakho ngafunga ngithukuthele ngathi, "Ngeke bangene ekuphumuleni kwami." (IHubo 95)
