IT bekuzokuba ngumcimbi wokutshala izihlahla omuhle, ukungcweliswa kweSinodi yase-Amazonia kuSt. Francis. Lo mcimbi ubungahlelwanga yiVatican kodwa bekuyi-Order of Friars Minor, iWorld Catholic Movement for Climate (GCCM) neREPAM (Pan-Amazonian Ecclesial Network). UPapa, ohambisana nolunye uhlangothi lwabaphathi, babuthana eGarden Gardens kanye nabomdabu base-Amazon. Isikebhe, ubhasikidi, izithombe ezenziwe ngokhuni zabesifazane abakhulelwe kanye nezinye "izinto zobuciko" zabekwa phambi kukaBaba Ongcwele. Okwenzeka ngokulandelayo, nokho, kwaletha ukushaqeka kulo lonke eLobukholwa: abantu abaningana ababekhona ngokuzumayo wakhothama ngaphambi “kwezinto zakudala.” Lokhu bekungasabonakali njengesibonakaliso “esibonakalayo semvelo ebalulekile,” njengoba kushiwo ku Ukukhishwa kwabezindaba kweVatican, kodwa kwaba nakho konke ukubonakala kwesiko lobuqaba. Umbuzo oyinhloko ngokushesha waba ukuthi, “Zazingobani lezi zithombe ezibaziweyo?”

ICatholic News Agency ibike ukuthi “abantu babebambana ngezandla futhi beguqa phambi kwezithombe ezibaziweyo zabesifazane abakhulelwe, esinye sazo okubikwa ukuthi sasimelela iNcasakazi uMariya Obusisiwe.”^[1]khanathnewsweb.com Ngokusho kombhalo yevidiyo yokwethulwa kwalesi sithombe kuPapa, ibizwa ngokuthi “UMama Wethu wase-Amazon.”^[2]qhathanisa uholokine.com Kodwa-ke, uFr. UGiacomo Costa, isikhulu sezokuxhumana kulesi sinodi, uthe owesifazane oqoshiwe unjalo hhayi iNcasakazi uMariya kodwa “umuntu wesifazane omelela impilo.”^[3]catholic.org Lokhu kubonakale kuqinisekiswa ngu-Andrea Tornielli, umqondisi wokuhlela weDicastery yezokuXhumana yaseVatican. Uchaze isithombe esibaziweyo “njengomfanekiso womama nobungcwele bempilo.”^[4]reuters.com Ezinganekwaneni zase-Amazonia, lokho kungenzeka-ke kube umfanekiso “kaPachamama” noma “Umama Womhlaba.” Uma kunjalo, ababambiqhaza bebengadumisi uMama Obusisiwe kepha bekhonze isithombe sobuqaba — esingachaza ukuthi kungani uPapa abeke eceleni izinkulumo ezilungiselelwe futhi avele athandaze uBaba Wethu. 

Kungenzeka futhi ichaze nokuthi kungani, ngezikhathi zokuntwela kokusa, amadoda amabili angaziwa ashaqe ezinye zezithombe eziqoshiwe futhi wabathumela ezansi noMfula iTiber — ekujabuleleni kwamaKatolika amaningi emhlabeni wonke. UTornielli waphindisela wathi lesi kwakuyisenzo sokwedelela, “isenzo esinobudlova nokungabekezeleli.”^[5]reuters.com Umphathi we-Vatican of the Dicastery for Communications, uDkt Paolo Ruffini, umemezele ukuthi "isenzo sokweyisa ... ngokumelene nomoya wezingxoxo" ngenkathi eqinisekisa ukuthi lezi zithombe "zimelela impilo, ukuzala, umama womhlaba."^[6]lwazi.va Futhi uKhadinali Carlos Aguiar Retes waseMexico City ubize la masela amabili ngokuthi "izimvu ezimnyama" zomndeni wamaKhatholika - kanye "nangabaphikisi besimo sezulu," ngokusho kuka I-Crux. ^[7]yingaboy.com

 

IDLE MAYELANA NEZITHOMBE?

Ngokuqinisekile, akukho lutho olungalungile ngokuthi uphawu lwamasiko lokuthi "ukukhulelwa nobungcwele bempilo" lube khona emcimbini waseVatican. Ngaphezu kwalokho, angivumelani nalabo abathi iNcasakazi Ebusisiwe izokwenza ungalokothi uvezwe njengongenalutho. Kodwa-ke, ukungabi nasici eNtshonalanga kunokubaluleka okuhluke ngokuphelele kunalokho okwenzeka kubantu bomdabu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ubuciko obungcwele bamaKatolika emakhulwini eminyaka adlule buveza isithombe esinamandla nophawu lwesifuba sikaMama uMariya, okuvela kulo ubisi lokugcwala komusa. 

Inkinga — i- ingcwaba Inkinga — ukuthi abaningana abebekhona kulo mkhosi, kubandakanya okungenani indela eyodwa, bebekhothame ngobuso phansi ngaphambi kwalokho iVatican esitshela khona okwezwe izithombe. Olimini lweSonto, ukukhothamela okunjalo kubekelwe uNkulunkulu kuphela (ngisho nokuguqa phambi kwabangcwele, ngokungafani nokukhothama noma ukuguqa ngomkhuleko, kuyinkulumo engavamile ekukhulekeleni okufanele imiphefumulo engcwele). Eqinisweni, kukuhle kakhulu zonke isiko emhlabeni, ukuguqa okunjalo kuyisibonakaliso sokukhulekela somhlaba wonke. Ngenkathi abakhulumeli beVatican kungenzeka ukuthi babenezizathu zokungathokozi kwabo ngokweba okwalandela, ukungakhathazeki noma ukuphawula ngalokho okungaqondakala njengokukhonza izithombe kungukuphambanisa. Futhi, unikezwe i- isikhulu impendulo ukuthi lokhu bekuyi hhayi iNcasakazi uMariya, kuzovela ukuthi uMyalo Wokuqala wephulwa phambi kukaPapa wamaRoma. Khohlwa ngokuba ngumlaleli wesimo sezulu… manje kumele umuntu akhonze isimo sezulu?

Intukuthelo emhlabeni wamaKhatholika ifanelekile njengoba u-A) abakhulumela iVatican bethi kunjalo hhayi ukuhlonishwa kweNtombi Ezibusisiwe uMariya noma uMama Wethu wase-Amazon; B) akukho xoliso noma incazelo efanelekile eyanikezwa ngalokho okwenzekile; no-C) kunesibonelo seBhayibheli sokungakuphathi ukukhonzwa kwezithombe ngokunemba kwezepolitiki: 

Lapho bezwa lokhu abaphostoli uBarnaba noPawulu baklebhula izingubo zabo futhi baphuthuma baya esixukwini bememeza bethi: “Madoda, kungani nenza lokhu na? … Simemezela izindaba ezinhle kuwe ukuthi kufanele uphenduke kulezi zithombe uphendukele kuNkulunkulu ophilayo, 'owenza izulu nomhlaba nolwandle nakho konke okukukho.' ”(Izenzo 14-15)

Le ndaba (ngokuqinisekile i-optics yayo) inuka hhayi kuphela i-syncretism kepha uhlobo lwe-enviro-spiritualism eguqula lokho okubizwa ngokuthi "Umama Womhlaba" kube unkulunkulu. Lesi akusona isenzakalo esizimele. Ngokwandayo, iSonto LamaKatolika lamuva liguqulwa libe yingalo yezepolitiki yeZizwe Ezihlangene njengoba "izindaba ezinhle" zithathelwa indawo ngu "imfundiso yesimo sezulu.”Lokhu kuveza sona kanye isexwayiso uPope Francis uqobo asinikeza maqondana nokuthanda izwe okusabalala njengoyinki omnyama emanzini okubhabhadiswa kwabathembekile:

… Ukuthanda izwe kuyimpande yobubi futhi kungaholela ekutheni silahle amasiko ethu futhi sixoxe ngokwethembeka kwethu kuNkulunkulu ohlala ethembekile. Lokhu… kubizwa ukuhlubuka, okuyi… uhlobo “lokuphinga” olwenzeka lapho sixoxisana ngomongo wobuntu bethu: ukwethembeka eNkosini. —UPapa uFrancis ovela ekhaya, IVatican Radio, Novemba 18, 2013

 

QAPHELA (Okthoba 25th, 2019): I-Holy See yakhipha abezindaba ukukhulumela okuzenzakalelayo kukaPapa mayelana nezithombe ezenziwe ngokhuni ezaziphonswe eMfuleni iTiber. UFrancis umemezele ukuthi lezi zithombe zithathiwe ngamaphoyisa futhi waxolisa kunoma ngubani "owacasulwa yilesi senzo" (sokweba). UPapa wabiza lokhu okuqoshwe ngokhuni “njengezithombe ze- pakamama”Futhi wathi labo“ abathathwe esontweni laseTranspontina… babekhona ngaphandle kwezinhloso zokukhonza izithombe. ” Wanezela ukuthi lezi zithombe kungenzeka zisabukiswa “ngesikhathi seMisa Elingcwele yokuvala iSinodi.”^[8]lwazi.va

Ngalesi sikhathi, akukacaci noma uPapa Francis ubona "ama-pachamamas" njengobuciko nje bamasiko. Uma enza kanjalo, kusabonisa ubunzima obukhulu kwazise abantu babekhothama futhi bethandaza phambi kwabo njengoba ayebuka eVatican Garden.

QAPHELA (Okthoba 29th, 2019): I-Missio, i-ejensi yabefundisi beNgqungquthela Yababhishobhi base-Italy, ishicilele umthandazo kuPachamama encwadini ka-Ephreli 2019 enikelwe kwi-Special Assembly of the Sinod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazon Region, kubika Izindaba ZamaKatolika Zomhlaba Wonke. Lo mthandazo, ochazwe “njengomkhuleko kuMama Womhlaba wabantu bama-Inca,” ufundeka kanje:

Pachamama yalezi zindawo, phuza futhi udle lo mnikelo ngokuthanda, ukuze lo mhlaba uthele. Pachamama, Mama omuhle, yiba nomusa! Yiba nomusa! Yenza ukuthi izinkabi zihambe kahle, futhi zingakhathali. Yenza ukuthi imbewu ihlume kahle, ukuze kungenzeki lutho olubi kuyo, ukuze amakhaza angayonakalisi, ikhiqize ukudla okuhle. Sicela lokhu kuwe: usinike konke. Yiba nomusa! Yiba nomusa!

Nanku umthandazo njengoba uvela encwadini:

 

NGENA NGEMEHLO YETHU

Yize intukuthelo ngokunganaki okubonakala kweVatican ngalolu daba iqondakala, kufanele siyicindezele, siphinde futhi, sibheke esibukweni. Kukhona enye indlela yokubona imicimbi eshiwo ngenhla: kuyisixwayiso ku sonke ukuthi onkulunkulu bamanga bangene ethempelini, okungukuthi, umzimba wakho nowami, okungamathempeli kaMoya oNgcwele. Lesi yisizathu sokuhlola izithombe ezimpilweni zethu futhi siphenduke kunoma yikuphi ukukhonza izithombe. Kungaba ubuzenzisi ngathi ukuxhawula izibhakela zethu eVatican… ngenkathi sikhothama phambi konkulunkulu bokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo, inkanuko, ukudla, utshwala, ugwayi, izidakamizwa, ucansi, njll., Noma sizithole sichitha isikhathi esiyigugu usuku ngalunye sibheka kuma-smartphones ethu , amakhompyutha, nezikrini zethelevishini kudela umthandazo, isikhathi somndeni, noma umsebenzi wesikhashana. 

Kwabaningi, njengoba benginitshela kaningi futhi manje nginitshela ngisho nangezinyembezi, baziphatha njengezitha zesiphambano sikaKristu. Ukuphela kwabo ukubhujiswa. UNkulunkulu wabo uyisisu sabo; inkazimulo yabo ikumahloni abo. Izingqondo zabo zigcwele izinto zasemhlabeni. (Fil 3: 18-19)

Ngempela, ezikhathini zokugcina, uNkulunkulu ekugcineni (futhi ngokungathandi) uvumela izijeziso ukumboza umhlaba ukuze kukhishwe, okungenani abanye, ekukhonzeni kwabo izithombe:

Bonke abanye abantu, abangabulawa yilezi zinhlupho, abaphendukanga emisebenzini yezandla zabo, ukuyeka ukukhonza amademoni nezithombe ezenziwe ngegolide, nesiliva, nethusi, netshe, nangokhuni, okungaboni noma uzwe noma uhambe. (IsAm 9:20)

Kungenzeka sicabanga ngamathole egolide noma izithombe ezibunjiweyo zethusi… kodwa izikebhe, izimoto, izindlu, ubucwebe, imfashini kanye ne-elekthronikhi zisebenzisa izinkuni, amatshe, nezinsimbi eziyigugu — futhi seziyizithombe zekhulu lama-21. 

 

UKUTHUKUTHELA OKUNGENAKO?

Ngenkathi izikhulu zeVatican zithukuthele ukuthi izimpawu zobuqaba zisuswe eSontweni lase-Italy kulokho okubizwa ngokuthi "isenzo esinobudlova nokungabekezeleli," umuntu uyazibuza ukuthi lolulaka lwalukuphi lapho abesimanjemanje bengena eminyango yangaphambili amasonto ethu amaKatolika futhi bantshontsha ifa lethu? Ngizizwile mathupha izindaba lapho, ngemuva kweVatican II, izithombe zayiswa emangcwabeni zaze zaphihlizwa, izithonjana nobuciko obungcwele benziwa mhlophe, ama-altare aphakeme aboshwe ngamaketanga, imigwaqo yeSidlo sasemini yankediswa, kwasuswa iziphambano nabaguqa, kwasuswa izingubo zokuhlobisa nokunye okunjalo. “Lokho okwenziwa amaKhomanisi emasontweni ethu ngenkani,” kusho abanye abantu abavela eRussia nasePoland, “yikhona enikwenzayo nina!”

Iqiniso ukuthi isizukulwane esisha samaKristu sikhula ngohlobo lwe anti-Revolution efuna ukubuyisa ubuhle nesithunzi sefa lethu lamaKhatholika. Lapha, angikhulumi ngokulangazelela nje noma ngomuntu “oqinile” i-ultra-bendabuko lokho kuvaliwe ukuhamba kukaMoya oNgcwele. Esikhundleni salokho, ukushaywa isikhathi eside kwezithombe zesimanjemanje okungcolise indawo engcwele, kwehliswa isiko leLiturgy, futhi kuphuca uNkulunkulu inkazimulo emfanele.

Lowo mkhosi omncane oseVatican Gardens, ngiyesaba, uyefana. Ukuthi nje amaKatolika athembekile namuhla abe nohlobo olwanele.
