LAPHO ukudideka, ngisho naphakathi kwamaKatolika, mayelana nesimo seSonto uKristu elisungulwe. Abanye banomuzwa wokuthi iSonto lidinga ukuguqulwa, ukuze kuvunyelwe indlela yentando yeningi ezimfundisweni zalo nasekunqumeni indlela yokubhekana nezinkinga zokuziphatha zanamuhla.
Kodwa-ke, bayehluleka ukubona ukuthi uJesu akazange amise intando yeningi, kepha a ubukhosi.
ISIVUMELWANO ESISHA
UJehova wakhuluma kuDavide,
Nginesiqiniseko salokhu, ukuthi uthando lwakho lumi kuze kube phakade, nokuthi iqiniso lakho liqiniswe laqina njengamazulu. “Ngenze isivumelwano nokhethiweyo wami; Ngifungile kuDavide inceku yami ukuthi: Ngiyakuqinisa indlu yakho kuze kube phakade, ngisimise isihlalo sakho sobukhosi kuze kube phakade. (IHubo 89: 3-5)
UDavide wafa, kodwa isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi asizange sife. UJesu uyinzalo yakhe (Math 1: 1; Lk 1:32) futhi amazwi okuqala enkonzo Yakhe yokushumayela amemezela lo mbuso:
Lesi yisikhathi sokugcwaliseka. Umbuso kaNkulunkulu useduze. (Marku 1:15)
Umbuso uqiniswa kuKristu ngokuchithwa kwegazi lakhe. Kuyindlela ye- okungokomoya umbuso, ubukhosi obuzohlala “kuyo yonke iminyaka.” ISonto, umzimba Wakhe, liyisimo salo mbuso:
UKristu, umpristi ophakeme nomlamuleli ohlukile, wenze iSonto “umbuso, abapristi bakaNkulunkulu wakhe noYise…” Abathembekile basebenzisa ubupristi babo bokubhabhadisa ngokuhlanganyela kwabo, yilowo nalowo ngokomsebenzi wakhe, emsebenzini kaKristu njengompristi, umprofethi, nenkosi. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 1546
Uma uNkulunkulu athembisa ukuthi umbuso kaDavide uzohlala kuyo yonke iminyaka — futhi uKristu ukugcwaliseka kwalowo mbuso — ngabe umbuso kaDavide ubungeke yini ube yisibonakaliso seNkosi yethu?
UKUPHILA
UDavid wayeyinkosi, kepha ku-Isaya 22, sibona ukuthi utshala omunye umuntu ngegunya lakhe — lowo ozoba umphathi, inkosi, noma undunankulu, omunye angasho, owendlu kaDavide uqobo:
Ngalolo suku ngiyakubiza inceku yami u-Eliyakimi indodana kaHilikiya; Ngizomembathisa ingubo yakho, ngimbhincise ibhande lakho, ngimnike igunya lakho. Uyakuba ngubaba wabakhileyo eJerusalema, nasendlini yakwaJuda; Ngizobeka ukhiye weNdlu kaDavide ehlombe lakhe; lapho evula, akekho ozovala, lapho evala, akekho oyovula. Ngizomlungisa njengesikhonkwane endaweni eqinisekile, ukuze abe yindawo yokuhlonipha umndeni wakhe… (u-Isaya 22: 20-23)
Akungabazeki-ke ukuthi uJesu ubhekise kule ndima lapho ebheka kuPetru, enanela wona kanye amazwi ka-Isaya:
Ngithi kuwe, unguPetru, futhi phezu kwaleli dwala ngizokwakha ibandla lami, futhi amasango ethuna lomhlaba ngeke alinqobe. Ngizokunika izikhiye zombuso wezulu. Noma yini oyibophayo emhlabeni iyakuboshwa ezulwini; futhi noma yini oyithukululayo emhlabeni iyokhululwa ezulwini. (Math 16: 18-19)
UJesu akazelanga ukuzoqeda iTestamente Elidala, kodwa ukuzoligcwalisa (Math 5:17). Ngakho-ke, unikeza uPetru izihluthulelo zombuso Wakhe ukuba abe umphathi wazo:
Yondla izimvu zami. (Johane 21:17)
Lokho wukuthi, uPeter manje usenendima njengoba esikhundleni yenkosi phezu kwendlu yayo. Kungakho sibiza uBaba Ongcwele ngokuthi “uMmeli kaKristu.” I-Vicar ivela eLatin Vicarius okusho ukuthi 'obambele'. Ngaphezu kwalokho, bona ukuthi amazwi ka-Isaya agcwaliseka kanjani ezingutsheni zabefundisi ezazigqokwa phakathi namakhulu eminyaka: “Ngizomembathisa ingubo yakho, ngimmbathise ibhande lakho ... ” Eqinisweni, u-Isaya uthi lo mmeli kaDavide uzobizwa ngokuthi “ngubaba” wabantu baseJerusalema. Igama "upapa" livela esiGrekini ama-apappa okusho ukuthi 'baba.' UPapa ube esengubaba phezu kwe "Jerusalem entsha", esivele ikhona ezinhliziyweni zabathembekile abakha "umuzi kaNkulunkulu." Futhi njengoba u-Isaya eprofetha ukuthi u-Eliyakimi uzobanjengesikhonkwane endaweni eqinisekile, ukuba sibe yindawo yokuhlonishwa yomndeni wakhey, ”kanjalo noPapa“ uyidwala, ”futhi usahlala kuze kube yilolu suku ethandwa futhi ehlonishwa abathembekile emhlabeni wonke.
Ngubani ongehluleka ukubona ukuthi uKristu usemise ubukhosi baKhe eBandleni, uBaba oNgcwele engumphathi wakhe?
IMISEBENZI
Imiphumela yalokhu inkulu kakhulu. Okungukuthi, u-Eliyakimi wayengeyona inkosi; wayengumphathi. Ubekwe icala lokwenza intando yenkosi maqondana nobukhosi, hhayi ukuzenzela eyakhe. UBaba oNgcwele akahlukile:
Upapa akayena umbusi ophelele, onemicabango nezifiso ezingokomthetho. Ngokuphambene nalokho, inkonzo kapapa iyisiqinisekiso sokulalela uKristu nezwi lakhe. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, oHomily kaMeyi 8, 2005; ISan Diego Union-Tribune
Impela, uJesu wabuye wathi kwabanye abaphostoli abayishumi nanye ukuthi bahlanganyela egunyeni Lakhe lokufundisa "ukubopha nokukhulula" (Math 18:18). Leli gunya lokufundisa silibiza ngokuthi “magisterium”.
… Le Magisterium ayiphakeme kuneZwi likaNkulunkulu, kodwa iyinceku yayo. Ifundisa kuphela lokho okunikezwe kukho. Ngokuyalelwa nguNkulunkulu nangosizo lukaMoya oNgcwele, uyakulalela lokhu ngokuzinikela, akuvikele ngokuzinikela futhi akuchaze ngokwethembeka. Konke lokho okuphakamisa ukuthi inkolelo ivezwe ngokwaphezulu kudonswe kule diphozi elilodwa lokholo. (CCC, 86)
Ngakho-ke, uBaba oNgcwele kanye nababhishobhi ngokuhlanganyela naye, kanye nabathembekile nje, babamba iqhaza “ebukhosini” bukaKristu ngokushumayela iqiniso elisikhululayo. Kepha leli qiniso akuyona into esiyenzayo. Akuyona into esiyenzayo emakhulwini eminyaka, njengoba abagxeki beSonto beqhubeka nokufuna. Iqiniso esilidlulisa — namaqiniso esiwakhulumayo namuhla ukubhekana nezinselelo zokuziphatha ezintsha zesikhathi sethu — lisuselwa ezwini likaNkulunkulu elingaguquguquki nakumthetho wemvelo nowokuziphatha, esikubiza ngokuthi “yidiphozi yokholo.” Ukholo nokuziphatha kweBandla,-ke, akulona olokubamba; awekho ngaphansi kwenqubo yentando yeningi lapho enziwa khona ngokwemiklamo yesizukulwane esithile, noma enqatshwa ngokuphelele. Akekho umuntu — kufakwe upapa — onegunya lokudlula intando yeNkosi. Kunalokho, “iqiniso limiswe laqina njengezulu“. Lelo qiniso ligadwa nguubukhosi… kuyo yonke iminyaka. "
ISonto… lihlose ukuqhubeka nokuphakamisa izwi lalo ekuvikeleni isintu, noma ngabe izinqubomgomo zezwe kanye neningi lombono womphakathi ziya kolunye uhlangothi. Iqiniso, impela, lidonsela amandla kulo hhayi kunani lemvume eliyivusayo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, eVatican, Mashi 20, 2006
NGISHO KWI-SCANDAL
Ngaphandle kwamahlazo ezocansi aqhubeka nokuzamazamisa iSonto, iqiniso lamazwi kaKrestu nalo linamandla amancane: “…amasango esihogo ngeke awunqobe.”Kumele simelane nesilingo sokulahla ingane ngamanzi okugeza; ukubona ukonakala kwamalungu ambalwa omzimba njengenkohliso yawo wonke; ukulahlekelwa ukholo lwethu kuKristu kanye namandla Akhe okubusa. Labo abanamehlo bayabona ukuthi kwenzekani namuhla: lokho okonakele kuyanyakaziswa kuze kube sezisekelweni. Ekugcineni, lokho okushiywe kumile kungabukeka kwehluke kakhulu. ISonto lizoba ncane; uzoba othobekile; uzoba msulwa.
Kepha ungalenzi iphutha: uzobuswa futhi yi-Vicar. Ngoba ubukhosi buzohlala kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi ... futhi iqiniso alifundisayo liyohlala lisikhulula.
… Maqondana nombhalo ongcwele… akekho umuntu, oncike ekuhlakanipheni kwakhe, okwazi ukuthi afune ilungelo lokuhlanekezela imibhalo ngokuqonde kwakhe ukuze aphikisane nencazelo ebanjwe futhi ibanjwe ngumama ongcwele. KwakuyiSonto kuphela lapho uKristu athuma khona ukuba aqaphe inkolo futhi anqume incazelo yangempela nokuchazwa kwezimemezelo zaphezulu. —UPAPPI PIUS IX, UNostis et Nobiscum, Encyclical, n. 14 DISEMBA 8, 1849
