IN NgoFebhuwari ngonyaka odlule, ngemuva nje kokusula kukaBenedict XVI, ngabhala Usuku Lwesithupha, nokuthi sibonakala sisondela kanjani “ehoreni leshumi nambili,” umkhawulo we Usuku lweNkosi. Ngabhala ke,
Upapa olandelayo uzosihola nathi… kepha unyukela esihlalweni sobukhosi izwe elifisa ukusichitha. Yilokho umkhawulo engikhuluma ngakho.
Njengoba sibheka ukusabela komhlaba ekuphathweni kukaPapa Francis, kuzobonakala kuphambene. Akudlulanga usuku lwezindaba ukuthi abezindaba bezwe abayenzi indaba ethile, bagxumela upapa omusha. Kodwa eminyakeni engama-2000 eyedlule, ezinsukwini eziyisikhombisa ngaphambi kokuba uJesu abethelwe, babemgwaza nangaye…
UKUNGENA EJERUSALEMA
Ngiyakholelwa ukuthi uPapa Francis, ngosizo lwabaphambi kwakhe, uyenyuka esihlalweni sobukhosi… kepha hhayi isihlalo samandla noma ukuthandwa, kepha Isiphambano. Ake ngichaze…
Ngenkathi uJesu enyuka, noma kunalokho, “yayikhuphukela eJersualem, ”Wathathela abafundi bakhe eceleni wathi kubo,
Bhekani, sikhuphukela eJerusalema; iNdodana yomuntu izakukhashelwa… ukuba ihlekwe usulu, ishaywe, ibethelwe; izovuswa ngosuku lwesithathu. (Math 20: 18-19)
Kepha ukungena eJerusalema bekufanele kube khona isiprofetho ngokwemvelo:
UJesu wathuma abafundi ababili, wathi kubo: “Hambani niye emzaneni obhekene nani, khona manjalo nizakufumana imbongolo iboshelwe, nethole likanye nayo.” (Mat 21: 2; qhathanisa noZakariya 9: 9)
Imbongolo ifanekisela ukuthobeka likaKristu nethole, "isilo esithwalayo," [1]isib. Zek 9: 9 Akhe ububha. Lezi “yizimpawu” ezimbili lapho uKristu engena khona eMzini Ongcwele, engena ekushiseni Kwakhe.
Akungabazeki ukuthi lawa ngamatshe okhiye amabili achaze uPapa Francis. Ubalekele amalimo wemoto encane; isigodlo sikapapa se 
ifulethi; regalia ukuze kube lula. Ukuthobeka kwakhe kudume ngesikhathi esifushane kakhulu.
Ngenkathi uJesu engena eJerusalema, wayethandwa ngaso leso sikhathi, kakhulu, kangangokuthi abantu bakhumula izingubo zabo, bazibeka embongolweni nasembongolweni, futhi “wahlala phezu kwazo.” Ngokunjalo noPapa uFrancis unconywe yimithombo yezindaba yangakwesobunxele, washayelwa ihlombe ngabakhululekile, futhi wathokozelwa ngabantu abangakholelwa ebukhoneni bukaNkulunkulu. Babeke izingxenye zabo zethelevishini nezinhlu zezindaba zikaBaba Ongcwele ngenkathi bememeza bethi, "Ubusisiwe oza egameni lethu!"
Yebo, ngenkathi uJesu engena eJerusalema, wayizamazamisa indawo leyo.
… Ngenkathi engena eJerusalema umuzi wonke wanyakaziswa wabuza, “Ngubani lo? Izixuku zaphendula zathi: “Lo ungumprofethi, uJesu waseNazaretha laseGalile.” (Math 21:10)
Okungukuthi, abantu akazange aqonde ngempela ukuthi uJesu ungubani.
Abanye bathi uJohane uMbhapathizi, abanye bathi u-Eliya, kanti abanye bathi uJeremiya noma omunye wabaprofethi. (Math 16:14)
Ekugcineni, abaningi bakholelwa ukuthi uJesu nguyena owayezobakhulula kubacindezeli baseRoma. Abanye bathi: “Lo akayona indodana yombazi na?”
Ngokunjalo futhi, abaningi abaqondanga kahle ukuthi ungubani lo bouncer-Turned-Cardinal-Turn-Pope. Abanye bakholelwa ukuthi usefike “ekugcineni” wakhulula iSonto ekucindezelweni yinzalamizi opapa abedlule. Abanye bathi ungumpetha omusha weLiberation Theology.
Abanye bathi umuntu ogcina isiko, abanye bakhululekile, kanti abanye bathi uMarxist noma omunye wamaKhomanisi.
Kodwa lapho uJesu ebuza uthi ngingubani? UPetru waphendula wathi:UnguMesiya, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu Ophilayo. " [2]I-Matt 16: 16
Ngubani ngempela uPapa Francis? Ngamazwi akhe, "Ngiyindodana yeBandla." [3]qhathanisa americamagazine.org, Septhemba 30, 2103
UKULUNGISELELA ISIFISO
Ngemuva kokungena kukaJesu eJerusalema nomsindo wokudumisa ubhibhile, umsebenzi Wakhe weqiniso waqala ukuvezwa — okwethusa abantu. Isenzo sakhe sokuqala kwaba ukuhlanza ithempeli, ukuchitha amatafula abashintshi bemali nezihlalo zabathengisi. Into elandelayo impela?
Izimpumputhe nezinyonga zeza kuye ethempelini, wazelapha. (Math 21:14)
Ngemuva kokukhethwa, uPapa Francis waqala ukulungiselela iSikhuthazo sakhe sokuqala sabaPhostoli, U-Evangelii Gaudium. Kuyo, uBaba oNgcwele 
ngokufanayo waqala ukuphendula amatafula abashintshi bemali, ehlasela “umnotho [obulalayo]” kanye “nobushiqela bomnotho ongenabuntu entula injongo yomuntu yangempela.” [4]Evangelii Gaudium, n. 53-55 Amazwi akhe, asuselwa kwimfundiso yezenhlalo yeSonto, abeyicala ikakhulukazi "lokuthenga okungalawuleki" kanye nenqubo yokushintshaniswa kwamasheya ekhohlakele edale "ubushiqela obusha" kanye "nemakethe enobuNkulunkulu", "ukukhonza izithombe okusha kwemali" lapho "izimiso zokuziphatha sekuye kwabhekwa nokuhlekwa usulu okuthile. ” [5]Evangelii Gaudium, n. 60, 56, 55, 57 Inembile futhi ukuhlaba Ukuboniswa kokungalingani kwengcebo namandla ngokushesha (futhi ngokubikezela) kudonse ulaka nentukuthelo yalabo ababemshayele ihlombe emasontweni adlule.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, uBaba oNgcwele useqalile ukuguqula kabusha iVatican Bank, nayo uqobo ebikhathazwa izinsolo zenkohlakalo. Ukuhlanzwa kwethempeli ngempela!
Ngokuqondene noPapa, uqhubeke nokugwema ubutyebi, wakhetha ukuba nabantu.
Ngikhetha iSonto elilimele, elilimazayo nelingcolile ngoba belilokhu likhona emigwaqweni, kunokuba kube yiSonto elingenampilo ekuboshweni nasekubambeleleni ekuphepheni kwalo. —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 49
Kwakungemuva kokungena kwakhe eJerusalema, futhi, lapho uJesu afundisa khona "umyalo omkhulu kunayo yonke":thanda iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, ngayo yonke inhliziyo yakho ... nomakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena. " [6]I-Matt 22: 37-40 Ngokunjalo, uBaba oNgcwele wenza "uthando ngomakhelwane" ngokusebenzela abampofu nokushunyayelwa kwezihloko ezingumongo weSikhuthazo sakhe.
Kepha ngemuva kokukhuthaza abantu ukuthi baphile ngemiyalo emikhulu, uJesu wenza okunye okubonakala kungafani nesimilo sakhe: wabalahla ngokusobala ababhali nabaFarisi ngezinga elingajwayelekile ebabiza ngokuthi “bazenzisi… abaholi abayizimpumputhe… amathuna amhlophe…” futhi wabayisa emsebenzini wokufuna iziqu, [7]isib. Mat 23:10 ukuthula, [8]isib. Mat 23:13 nokuzitika. [9]isib. Mat 23:25
Ngokunjalo, uPapa Francis omnene ubuye waphonsela inselelo ngesibindi labo abalahlekelwe yincazelo yothando lobuKrestu lweqiniso, ikakhulukazi abefundisi. Uye wayala labo “ekhathazekile ngokudluliswa kwenqwaba yezimfundiso ezihlanganisiwe ezobekwa ngenkani. " [10]qhathanisa americamagazine.org, Septhemba 30, 2103 Ugxeke inkolo nabefundisi fo
r ukuthenga izimoto ezintsha kuyakhuthaza 
kubo ukuze “khetha othobeke kakhudlwana eyodwa. ” [11]reuters.com; Julayi 6, 2013 Ukhale kakhulu labo abathatha "indawo yeSonto" "ngezinhlelo zokuzisiza nokuzazi" futhi [12]U-Evangelii Gaudium,n. 95 abantu besonto "abanomqondo webhizinisi, ababanjwe abaphathi, izibalo, amapulani kanye nokuhlola abanomzuzi wabo oyinhloko hhayi abantu bakaNkulunkulu kepha iSonto njengesikhungo." [13]Ibid. ,n. 95 Ubize “izwe” leBandla eliholela “ekwanelisekeni nasekuzijabuliseni ngokweqile.” [14]Ibid. n. 95 Ube nama-homilists angazilungiseli kahle izintshumayelo zawo njengabantu "abangathembekile nabangaphenduli" futhi "nomprofethi wamanga, umkhwabanisi, umkhohlisi ongajulile." [15]Ibid. n. 151 Uchaze labo abagqugquzela futhi bancenge ubufundisi “njengezilo ezincane.” [16]I-National Post, Januwari 4, 2014 Futhi, maqondana neziqu, uFrancis, ngomzamo wokunqanda umsebenzi eSontweni, uqede udumo luka “Monsignor” kubapristi bezwe abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-65. [17]I-Vatican Insider; UJan 4, 2014 Okokugcina, uBaba oNgcwele uhlela ukuvuselela iCuria, okungangabazeki ukuthi izophazamisa ukulinganiswa kwamandla okwakhe iminyaka eminingi phakathi “kwamaKatolika” emisebenzi.
Ngobusuku bangaphambi kokuba azinikele, uJesu wageza izinyawo zabafundi Bakhe, ehlazisa uPetru. Kanjalo futhi, lo papa wageza izinyawo zeziboshwa nabesifazane abangamaSulumane, ehlazisa amanye amaKhatholika, njengoba kwakuyikhefu ngerubhrikhi yenkolo. Kwakungaphakathi nesonto eliholela ekuThathekeni Kwakhe lapho uJesu akhuluma ngokuba "yinceku ethembekileyo neqondayo"; ukungangcwabi ithalente lomuntu; ukunaka kakhulu abampofu; nangenkathi enikeza amakheli akhe “ngezikhathi zokuphela.” ILikwise, uFrancis ubizele lonke iSonto ekuvangelweni okusha, ukuba nesibindi ekusebenziseni amathalente abo, ekunikeni kuqala abampofu, futhi waphawula ukuthi singena "kushintsho lwezikhathi ezinkulu." [18]Evangelii Gaudium, n. 52; Lezi izingqikithi kuso sonke isikhuthazo sabaphostoli
UKUDLULA KWEBANDLA
Ngenkathi abanye abahlaziyi bethanda ukubukela phansi uBenedict XVI njengobandayo noJohn Paul II njengongagxilile kwezenkolo, basazomangala uma becabanga ukuthi uPapa Francis usuka iqiniso. Uma ufunda Evangelii Gaudium, uzothola ukuthi yakhiwe, icaphuna ngemuva kwesilinganiso, kusuka ezitatimendeni zabapapa abangaphambilini. UFrancis umile emahlombe enziwe "ngedwala" elibuyela emuva eminyakeni eyi-2000. Akungabazeki ukuthi uBaba oNgcwele uyathandwa (futhi akathandwa kangako) ngenxa yendlela yakhe yokukhuluma ngaphandle kwesikhwama. Kodwa yena ngokwakhe uthi:
Ukukhuluma ngokusuka enhliziyweni kusho ukuthi izinhliziyo zethu akumele nje ukuthi zivutha umlilo, kodwa futhi kumele zikhanyiselwe ukugcwala kwesambulo… -Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 144
E-Vatican City, wasiphinda isidingo sokuthi athembeke “ekuvezweni kokwambulwa”:
Vuma ukholo! Konke, hhayi ingxenye yalo! Vikela lolu kholo, njengoba lwafika kithi, ngendlela yesiko: lonke ukholo! -IZENIT.org, Januwari 10, 2014
Yikho kanye lokhu “kuthembeka” eqinisweni okwacasula izitha zikaKristu. 'Kwakuwukuhlanzwa kwakhe kwethempeli' okwakhuthaza izitha. Kwakuyinselelo Yakhe kwisimo samandla ezenkolo agcina eseqhamuke necebo labo lokuMbethela. Ngempela, abaningi balabo
abake babeka izingubo zabo phansi ezinyaweni zikaKristu ekugcineni babeyodabula eyodwa emzimbeni Wakhe.
Futhi-ke, kwakuphakathi kweViki lePasi lapho kwanikezwa khona ubufakazi obunamandla kakhulu bukaKrestu, kusuka ebumnandini Bakhe kwabampofu, kuze kugezwe izinyawo zabafundi Bakhe, kuye ekuxolelweni kwezitha Zakhe. Ngikholwa ukuthi yilokhu kanye "lesi sahluko esisha sokushunyayelwa kwevangeli", [19]Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 261 njengoba uFrancis ebeka, imayelana. U-Evangelii Gaudium ubizo oluya eSontweni, futhi njengabantu ngabanye, ukugibela “imbongolo nethole”, ukuze bangene emoyeni ojulile wokuzithoba, wokuguqula, nobumpofu. Kuyilungiselelo loku ukushumayela ngeNdlela Yesiphambano lokho akunakugwemeka eBandleni…
… Lapho izolandela iNkosi yayo ekufeni nasekuvukeni kwayo. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n.677
Umhlaba ubheke uFrancis, futhi njengamanje bayamthanda kakhulu. Kepha 
UFrancis ubuye abheke iSonto nomhlaba, futhi uthando lwakhe ngabo seluqala ukwenza abanye bangakhululeki neze. Lokho kungaba esinye 'isibonakaliso sezikhathi' ukuthi Ukuvuka kwesilo futhi iPassion of the Church iyasondela kunokuba abaningi becabanga.
Ngiyanxusa yonke imiphakathi ukuba "ihlale izibhekile izibonakaliso zezikhathi". Lokhu empeleni kungumthwalo omkhulu, ngoba amaqiniso athile amanje, ngaphandle uma kusingathwa kahle, ayakwazi ukusungula izinqubo zokwehliswa kwesithunzi sabantu okungaba nzima ukuzihlehlisa. —I-POPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium,n. 51
