KUSUKELA umnotho womhlaba uqale ukuntengantenga njengolwandle oludakiwe olwandle oluphakeme, kube nezingcingo ezivela kubaholi bezwe abambalwa befuna “uhlelo olusha lomhlaba” (bheka Ukubhala Odongeni). Kuholele ekutheni amaKrestu amaningi asole, mhlawumbe kufanele, ngezimo zokuvuthwa kombuso wobushiqela wembulunga yonke, lokho abanye abangaze bakubize ngokuthi "yisilo" seSambulo 13.
Kungakho amanye amaKhatholika ashaqeka ngenkathi uPapa Benedict XVI ekhipha incwadi yakhe entsha, AmaCaritas eVikisa, lokho akubonakali nje kuphela ukuvumela ukuhleleka komhlaba omusha, kepha futhi kuyakhuthaza. Kuholele ekutheni kube nokuqubuka kwezindatshana ezivela emaqenjini angama-fundamentalist, ziphakamisa "isibhamu sokubhema," okusikisela ukuthi uBenedict usebenzisana noMphikukristu. Ngokufanayo, ngisho namanye amaKatolika abonakala elungele ukushiya umkhumbi ephethe opapa “wezihlubuki”.
Futhi-ke, ekugcineni, ngithathe amasonto ambalwa ukuyifunda ngokucophelela i-Encyclical — hhayi nje izihloko zezindaba ezimbalwa noma izingcaphuno ezikhishwe kumongo — ukuzama ukuqonda okushiwo nguBaba Ongcwele.
Abanye bangamangala ukwazi ukuthi iningi lamapapa, ngezinga elithile — kusuka kuLeo XIII, uJohn XXIII, uPaul VI, kuya kuJohn Paul II — laqaphela into evelayo ngokuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke ekhulwini leminyaka elidlule.:
Ngemuva kwayo yonke le ntuthuko yesayensi nezobuchwepheshe, futhi nangenxa yayo, inkinga isalokhu: ungakha kanjani uhlelo olusha lomphakathi olususelwe ebudlelwaneni babantu obulinganiselayo phakathi kwemiphakathi yezepolitiki ezingeni likazwelonke nelamazwe omhlaba? —UPOPA JOHN XXIII, UMater et Magistra, Incwadi Yezincwadi, n. 212
UPapa Benedict uphawula kulencwadi yakhe entsha ijubane elimangazayo lalolu hlelo olusha.
Isici esisha esiyinhloko kube yi- ukuqhuma kokuncika emhlabeni wonke, okwaziwa kakhulu ngokuthi ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke. UPaul VI wayekade ekubonile ngaphambili, kepha ijubane elibi lapho liguquke khona belingalindelekile. -AmaCaritas eVikisa,n. 33
Enanela uJohn XXIII, uPapa John Paul II ngokusobala ucele ukuhleleka komhlaba okuyiChristocentric:
Bafowethu nodadewethu, ningesabi ukwamukela uKristu futhi namukele amandla akhe… Vulani iminyango kaKristu. Emandleni akhe okusindisa vula imingcele yamazwe, izinhlelo zezomnotho nezepolitiki, imikhakha emikhulu yamasiko, impucuko nentuthuko.… —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, Umhlahlandlela wokuvula isikhundla sakhe sobupapa, Okthoba 22, 1978; ewtn.com
Futhi kamuva wayezogcizelela umehluko phakathi kobuzalwane bomhlaba wonke vs umbuso wembulunga yonke.
Ingabe lesi akusona isikhathi sokuba bonke basebenzisane ngenhlangano entsha yomthethosisekelo womndeni wesintu, okwazi ngempela ukuqinisekisa ukuthula nokuzwana phakathi kwabantu, kanye nentuthuko yabo ebalulekile? Kepha makungabikho ukungaboni ngaso linye. Lokhu akusho ukubhala umthethosisekelo we-super-State womhlaba wonke. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, Umlayezo Wosuku Lomhlaba Wonke Lokuthula, I-2003; v Vatican.va
Ngakho-ke lapha kukhona ingozi, kanye nesixwayiso esiyisisekelo kuyo yonke incwadi entsha kaPapa Benedict: ingabe lolu hlelo lomhlaba omusha, empeleni, luzovula iminyango uKristu, noma uwavale? Ubuntu busezimpambanweni zomgwaqo ezinzima:
UPaul VI wakuqonda ngokusobala ukuthi umbuzo wezenhlalo ubususabalele emhlabeni wonke futhi wakuqonda ukuxhumana phakathi kwesikhuthazo ekubumbeni kwesintu, kanye nenhloso yobuKristu yomndeni owodwa wabantu ngobumbano nobuzalwane. -ICaritas eVeritates,n. 13
Sibona lapha umehluko ocacile owenziwe: ukuthi phakathi kokuhlanganiswa nje kwesintu, kanye nalokho "komndeni wabantu" osuselwa enqubweni yobuKristu yesisa esaphila. Ukuhlanganiswa okulula akwanele:
Njengoba umphakathi uba nobumbano ngokwengeziwe, kusenza omakhelwane kepha akusenzi abafowethu. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, ICaritas eVeritates,n. 19
I-humanism yezwe ifuna ukusenza omakhelwane, kepha hhayi okuhle; UbuKrestu empeleni bufuna ukusenza sibe ngumndeni. Eqinisweni, asinakusho nokusho ukuthi uJesu wabeka lo mbono wohlelo lomhlaba omusha kumaVangeli?
Angibathandazeli bona kuphela, kodwa nalabo abakholelwa kimi ngezwi labo, ukuze bonke babe munye, njengoba wena, Baba, ukimi nami ngikuwe, ukuze nabo babe kithina, umhlaba ungakholwa ukuthi ungithumile. (Johane 17: 20-21)
Ngakho-ke, i-oda lomhlaba omusha alikho "elibi" ngokwalo noma ngenxa yokuthi liyinhlangano yomhlaba wonke. Njengoba uJohn Paul II asho,
Ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke, kuqala, akukuhle noma kubi. Kuzoba yilokho abantu abakwenzayo ngakho. -Ikheli eliya ePontifical Academy of Social Sciences, Ngo-Ephreli 27, 2001
Ngakho-ke, uPapa Benedict ubeke umbono omuhle futhi ongokwesiprofetho ngethemba lokuthi kuzoba yinhlangano "enhle", enanela umqondo kaKristu ovezwe emaVangelini futhi iphinde icaciswe emfundisweni yezenhlalo yeSonto. Ungalenzi iphutha, noma kunjalo: UPapa Benedict ubona ngokusobala ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi lokho okuqala ukuvela kubhekane nezingqinamba eziningi futhi kunethuba lokuba mubi kakhulu.
ISIKHUNGO SOMUNTU
Umbhalo kaPapa Benedict ungafingqwa ngamagama alowo owandulela yena:
… Umuntu ngamunye uyisisekelo, imbangela kanye nokuphela kwazo zonke izinhlangano zenhlalo. —UPOPA JOHN XXIII, UMater et Magistra, n. 219
Lapha-ke, kulapho-ke uPapa Benedict kanye nabapapa abengaphambi kwakhe bebambe khona umbono weNew World Order ocacayo ohluke ngokusobala kwabaningi ongqondongqondo banamuhla: kungumbono osebenzela inkululeko yomuntu, lowo “womuntu wonke” akuyona nje into engokomzimba-ngokomzwelo, kodwa futhi okomoya.
Umuntu akayona i-athomu elahlekile endaweni yonke engahleliwe: uyisidalwa sikaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu amkhetha ukumnika umphefumulo ongafi futhi abelokhu emthanda njalo. Ukube umuntu ubevele eyisithelo sethuba noma lesidingo, noma uma bekufanele ehlise izifiso zakhe emkhawulweni ongagcini wezwe ahlala kulo, ukube konke okungokoqobo bekungumlando namasiko nje, futhi umuntu ubengenayo imvelo ebimiselwe sizidlulela empilweni engaphezulu kwemvelo, lapho-ke umuntu angakhuluma ngokukhula, noma ukuziphendukela kwemvelo, kepha hhayi intuthuko. -AmaCaritas eVikisa, n. 29
Ngaphandle kwalesi sici "esidlulele" ekubhekweni kwentuthuko yezizwe nabantu, sizibeka engcupheni yokushaya "ithuba elikhulu" (n. 33), njengoba uBenedict akubeka, ukuze sibe yiqiniso womuntu umndeni womhlaba wonke.
… Ngaphandle kokuqondiswa kwesisa senhliziyo ngeqiniso, lo mbuso womhlaba wonke ungadala umonakalo ongakaze ubonwe futhi udale ukwahlukana okusha emndenini wesintu… isintu sinezingozi ezintsha zokugqilazwa nokukhohliswa .. --N. 33, 26
Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi kungabibikho isexwayiso esicace kakhulu mayelana nohlobo olungalungile lokuhleleka komhlaba?
IZIZWE EZIHLANGENE
Noma kunjalo, abaningi bathukuthele, bethi uPapa Benedict ubiza iNhlangano Yezizwe "ngamazinyo". Okukhathazayo ngukuthi kuyaziwa ukuthi i-UN inezinqubo eziningi eziphikisana nemfundiso yeSonto, futhi isebenzisa ngenkuthalo noma yimaphi amandla enawo ukuqhubekisela phambili uhlelo lokulwa nempilo (kanti abanye banombono wokuthi i-UN ingaba ithuluzi isilo ”…) Kepha ukufundwa ngokucophelela kwamagama kaBaba Ongcwele kuyadingeka lapha:
Lapho sibhekene nokukhula okungapheli kokuncika emhlabeni wonke, kunesidingo esizwakala kakhulu, ngisho naphakathi nokwehla kwamandla omnotho emhlabeni, sokuguqulwa Inhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene, futhi ngokufanayo kwe izikhungo zezomnotho kanye nezezimali zomhlaba wonke, ukuze umqondo womndeni wezizwe uzitholele amazinyo angempela. - inombolo 67
Okokuqala, uPapa Benedict ufuna "kwenziwe inguquko" ye-UN - hhayi ukunikwa amandla kwesimo sayo esivele sikhona, njengoba yabona kudala ngaphambi kokuba abe uPapa wezinkinga eziyisisekelo ezivame ukuhlotshaniswa ne-UN:
… Imizamo yokwakha ikusasa yenziwe ngemizamo edonsa ngokujulile noma kancane emthonjeni wesiko lenkululeko. Ngaphansi kwesihloko esithi New World Order, le mizamo ithatha ukucushwa; ziya ngokuya zihlobana ne-UN nezingqungquthela zayo zamazwe omhlaba… eziveza obala ifilosofi yomuntu omusha neyezwe elisha… —Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (IPOPE BENEDICT XVI), IVangeli: Ukubhekana Nenkinga Yomhlaba, ngu-Msgr. UMichel Schooyans, ngo-1997
Ifilosofi kwesinye isikhathi iphikisana ngokujulile nomthetho wemvelo nokuziphatha.
Okwesibili, "kungumqondo womndeni wezizwe" ukuthi unombono wokuthola amazinyo. Lokho wukuthi, umndeni weqiniso wamasiko amaningi ahlukahlukene, asekelana ngomoya wobumbano, ukuphana, nenkululeko yeqiniso esekwe esizeni senhliziyo kanye nobulungiswa obuyiqiniso obusekela okuhle okuvamile. Ungu hhayi befuna amandla asebunyeni ukuze basebenzise ukulawula okuphelele kuzo zonke izici zalo mndeni wezizwe, kepha ukuhlakazwa okuhlelekile kwamandla noma "ukubambisana."
Ukuze ungakhiqizi amandla ayingozi omhlaba wonke wobushiqela, ukubusa kwembulunga yonke kumele kumakwe yinkampani engaphansi, zichazwe zaba izendlalelo eziningana futhi zifaka amazinga ahlukene angasebenza ndawonye. Ukuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke kudinga igunya, ngokwalokho kubangela inkinga yokulunga okuvamile komhlaba wonke okudinga ukulandela. Leli gunya, nokho, kufanele lihlelwe ngendlela ephethwe futhi ehlukaniswe ngendlela, uma lingezukuphula inkululeko ... -ICaritas eVeritate, n.57
UMBONO WABANTU OGCWALISEKILE
Umbhalo kaPapa ungabonakala unethemba elikhulu "esikweni lokufa" lethu. Kepha kuyatholakala, uyasikhumbuza, kuphela ngamandla kaNkulunkulu.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukwenqatshwa kukaNkulunkulu ngokomqondo nokungahlonishwa kukaNkulunkulu ngokunganaki, okwazi uMdali futhi osengcupheni yokungaqapheli ngokulinganayo izindinganiso zabantu, kwenza ezinye zezithiyo ezinkulu entuthukweni namuhla. Ubuntu obufaka ngaphandle uNkulunkulu ngubuntu obungenabuntu. -ICaritas eVeritate, hhayi. 78
Futhi-ke, uNkulunkulu uvuse abaprofethi osukwini lwethu, oyinhloko phakathi kwabo uMama wakhe, ukusixwayisa ukuthi umphakathi wethu usube "ongenabuntu" ngempela. Ukuthi ngaphandle kombono ophelele womuntu ongabheki ubukhulu bakhe obungokomoya kuphela kodwa noMthombo nokuPhila kwalobo bukhulu, sibhekene nekusasa elingaqinisekile. Njengoba uJohn XXIII asho, “Ukwehlukaniswa noNkulunkulu umuntu uyisilo, ngaphakathi kuye nakwabanye…” (M. et M., n. 215).
Isilo… futhi mhlawumbe isilo.
