Ukususa Isithintelo

 

THE Inyanga edlule kube nosizi oluthintekayo njengoba iNkosi iqhubeka nokuxwayisa ukuthi kukhona Isikhathi Esincane Esisele. Izikhathi zibuhlungu ngoba isintu sesizovuna lokho uNkulunkulu asincenge ukuba singakuhlwanyeli. Kuyadabukisa ngoba imiphefumulo eminingi ayazi ukuthi isemgwacweni wokwehlukaniswa okuphakade Naye. Kuyadabukisa ngoba ihora lokuthanda kweSonto uqobo selifikile lapho uJuda ezovukela khona. ^[1]qhathanisa Ukulingwa Kweminyaka Eyisikhombisa-Ingxenye VI Kuyadabukisa ngoba uJesu akagcinanga ngokunganakwa futhi akhohlwe emhlabeni wonke, kodwa futhi uyahlukunyezwa futhi ahlekwe usulu futhi. Ngakho-ke, i- Isikhathi sezikhathi ufikile lapho konke ukungabi namthetho kuyokwenzeka, futhi sekuqhamuka embulungeni yonke.

Ngaphambi kokuba ngiqhubeke, zindla isikhashana amagama agcwaliswe ngcwele

Ungesabi okungase kwenzeke kusasa. Ubaba ofanayo onakekelayo namuhla uzokunakekela kusasa nanamuhla. Kuphakathi kokuthi uzokuvikela ekuhluphekeni noma uzokunika amandla angapheli okukuthwala. Yiba nokuthula ngaleso sikhathi bese ubeka eceleni yonke imicabango nokukhathazeka. —USt. UFrancis de Sales, umbhishobhi wekhulu le-17

Ngempela, le bhulogi ayizelanga ukwethusa noma ukwethusa, kodwa ukukuqinisekisa nokulungiselela ukuze, njengezintombi ezinhlanu ezihlakaniphile, ukukhanya kokholo lwakho kungacinywa, kodwa kukhanye njalo lapho ukukhanya kukaNkulunkulu emhlabeni kufiphele ngokuphelele, futhi ubumnyama abuvinjelwe ngokuphelele. ^[2]isib. UMathewu 25: 1-13

Ngakho-ke, hlalani niphapheme, ngoba anilwazi usuku noma ihora. (Math 25:13)

 

UMLAWULI…

Ngo-2005, ngabhala ku UMbambi (ngaphansi kokukhuthazwa ngumbhishobhi waseCanada) ukuthi ngangishayela kanjani ngedwa eBritish Columbia, eCanada, ngiya ekhonsathini yami elandelayo, ngijabulela ubuhle bendawo, ngikhukhuleka ngomcabango, lapho ngokungazelelwe ngezwa enhliziyweni yami amazwi athi:

Ngezwa okuthile emoyeni wami okunzima ukukuchaza. Kwakunjengokungathi igagasi lokushaqeka leqa umhlaba — njengokungathi okuthile endaweni yokomoya kwase kudedelwe.

Ngalobo busuku ekamelweni lami le-motel, ngabuza iNkosi ukuthi ngabe engikuzwile kukhona yini emiBhalweni, ngoba igama elithi "restrainer" lalingakajwayeleki kimi. Ngithathe ibhayibheli lami elivule ngqo ku-2 Thesalonika 2: 3. Ngaqala ukufunda:

Okusho ukuthi, “ukuhlubuka” (ukuhlubuka) kanye “nomuntu ongenamthetho” (Umphikukristu) empeleni baletha “usuku lweNkosi,” kusho uSt. Paul, usuku lokulwelwa nobulungiswa. ^[3]qhathanisa Ukulwelwa Kokuhlakanipha (uSuku lweNkosi lungeyona inkathi yamahora angama-24, kepha lungabizwa ngokufanele ngokuthi inkathi yokugcina ngaphambi kokuphela komhlaba. Izinsuku Ezimbili Ezengeziwe). Umuntu angawakhumbuli kanjani ngalesi sikhathi amagama amangazayo opapa kulokhu?

Ukuhlubuka, ukulahleka kokholo, kusakazeka emhlabeni wonke kuya emazingeni aphakeme kakhulu eSontweni. —UPOPE PAUL VI, Ikheli ngeSikhumbuzo Saminyaka Engamashumi Amashumi Amathandathu Sokubonakala Kwe-Fatima, ngo-Okthoba 13, 1977

Eqinisweni, uPapa Pius X — kwincwadi yezincwadi, hhayi ngaphansi kwalokho — wasikisela ukuthi kokubili ukuhlubuka futhi Umphikukristu kungenzeka ukuthi usevele ukhona:

Ubani ongehluleka ukubona ukuthi umphakathi okwamanje, ngaphezu kwanoma iyiphi enye inkathi edlule, uhlushwa yisifo esibi nesigxile kakhulu okuthi, kuthuthukisa nsuku zonke futhi kudle okungaphakathi kwayo, ikudonsele ekubhujisweni? Niyaqonda, Bazalwane Abahloniphekile, ukuthi siyini lesi sifo—ukuhlubuka okuvela kuNkulunkulu… Uma konke lokhu kubhekwa kunesizathu esizwakalayo sokwesaba hleze lokhu kuphazamiseka okukhulu kube sengathi kunambitheka, futhi mhlawumbe kungukuqala kwalobo bubi obugcinelwe izinsuku zokugcina; nokuthi kube khona vele emhlabeni "iNdodana Yokubhujiswa" lowo uMphostoli akhuluma ngayo. -E Supremi, Encyclical Ekubuyiselweni Kwazo Zonke Izinto KuKristu, n. 3, 5; Okthoba 4, 1903

Kepha kukhona okuthile "Ukuvimbela" ukuvela kwalomphikukristu. Ngoba, ngivule umhlathi kakhulu ngalobo busuku, ngaqhubeka ngafunda:

Futhi uyazi ukuthi yini ukuvimbela kuye manje ukuze abonakaliswe ngesikhathi sakhe. Ngoba imfihlakalo yokweqa umthetho isiyasebenza. kuphela lowo manje uyabamba izokwenza njalo aze aphume endleleni. Bese kuthi lowo ongenamthetho ambulwe…

Manje, kulo-Ephreli 2012 [Mashi 2014], ngizwa amagama amasha engiye ngazindla ngawo amasonto, ngikhulume ngawo kaningana nomqondisi wami wezomoya, futhi engibhala manje ngokulalela: ukuthi iNkosi susa isibambi ngokuphelele.

 

YINI UMQONDISI?

Izazi zenkolo zihlukene phakathi ngencazelo yala mazwi angaqondakali kaSt. Paul. "Ini”Ngabe iyona evimbayo? Futhi ngubani Nguye “ozibambayo manje;" AbaFata BeSonto Lokuqala babevame ukuthi lowo owayevimba lo mbuso kwakunguMbuso WaseRoma, owawusekelwe kuDaniyeli 7:24:

Kuwo lombuso kuyakuvela amakhosi ayishumi, kulandele enye emva kwawo; uyokwehluka kwabokuqala, abeke phansi amakhosi amathathu. (Dan 7:24)

Manje la mandla okuvimba [manje] avunywa njengombuso wamaRoma… angikuniki ukuthi umbuso waseRoma uhambe. Kude nalokhu: umbuso wamaRoma usekhona kuze kube namuhla.  —UKhadinali Obusisiwe uJohn Henry Newman (1801-1890), Advent Izintshumayelo Umphikukristu, Intshumayelo I

Futhi nokho, uSt. Paul ubhekisa naku “he ovimbayo, ”njengomuntu noma ngenhlangano ethile yezingelosi. Kusuka ekuhlaziyweni kweBhayibheli kwaseNavarre:

Yize kungakacaci ngokuphelele ukuthi kusho ukuthini uSt.Paul lapha (abahlaziyi basendulo nabanamuhla banikeze zonke izinhlobo zokuhumusha), umuzwa ojwayelekile wamazwi akhe ubonakala ucace ngokwanele: unxusa abantu ukuthi baphikelele ekwenzeni okuhle, ngoba lokho kungcono kakhulu indlela yokugwema ukwenza okubi (okubi kuyimfihlakalo yokweqa umthetho). Kodwa-ke, kunzima ukusho ngokunembile ukuthi iyini le mfihlakalo yokweqa umthetho noma ngubani oyivimbelayo.

Abanye abahlaziyi bacabanga ukuthi imfihlakalo yokweqa umthetho ngumsebenzi womuntu ongenamthetho, ovinjelwa yimithetho eqinile eqiniswa uMbuso WaseRoma. Abanye basikisela ukuthi uSt. Michael nguye obamba ukungabi namthetho emuva (cf IsAm 12: 1; Rev 12: 7-9; 20: 1-3, 7)… okukhombisa ukuthi ulwa noSathane, uyamvimba noma umvumela ukuba akhululeke … Abanye bacabanga ukuthi ukunqandwa komuntu ongenamthetho ukuba khona okusebenzayo kwamaKrestu emhlabeni, athi ngezwi nangesibonelo alethe ukufundisa kukaKristu nomusa wakhe kwabaningi. Uma amaKrestu evumela intshiseko yawo ibande (lokhu kuchazwa), khona-ke umkhawulo wobubi uzoyeka ukusebenza bese kuvuka ukuhlubuka. -I-Navarre Bible ukuhlaziya kweyesi-2 Thes 2: 6-7, AbaseThesalonika Nezincwadi Zokwelusa, p. 69-70

Umbuso waseRoma wokuqala wawa, yize kungenjalo ngokuphelele ezinye izazi-mlando eziphikisanayo, ikakhulu ngenxa ye- ukonakala kwezepolitiki nokuziphatha. Ekhuluma neCuria yaseRoma, uPapa Benedict XVI wathi:

Ukwahlukaniswa kwemigomo esemqoka yomthetho kanye nesimo sokuziphatha esiyisisekelo esasisekela kubo kwawavula amadamu lawo kuze kube yileso sikhathi ayevikele ukuhlalisana ngokuthula phakathi kwabantu. Ilanga lalishona phezu komhlaba wonke. Izinhlekelele zemvelo ezenzeka njalo zandisa lo muzwa wokungazethembi. Awekho amandla abonakalayo angavimba lokhu kwehla. Okuphikelela kakhulu-ke kwakuwukuncenga amandla kaNkulunkulu: ukunxusa ukuthi eze eze avikele abantu bakhe kuzo zonke lezi zinsongo. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kumkhosi WaseRoma, ngoDisemba 20, 2010

Ngikholwa ukuthi bambalwa abayibonayo impikiswano yamazwi kaPapa Benedict akhethwe ngokucophelela ebusuku yesolstice yasebusika — emnyama kakhulu usuku konyaka enyakatho Nenkabazwe. ^[4]qhathanisa Ngosuku luka-Eva Wayeqhathanisa ukwehla kweRoma nesizukulwane sethu. Ubebonisa ukuthi “imigomo esemqoka yezomthetho nezimo zokuziphatha eziyisisekelo ezisekelayo” yethu umphakathi, usuqala ukuwa:

… Umhlaba wethu ngasikhathi sinye ukhathazwa umuzwa wokuthi ukuvumelana kokuziphatha kuyawa, ukuvumelana okungekho ngaphandle kwezinhlaka zomthetho nezepolitiki ezisebenza… Uma kuphela kunokuvumelana okunjalo ngezinto ezibalulekile umthethosisekelo nokusebenza komthetho. Lokhu kuvumelana okuyisisekelo okuvela efeni lobuKristu kusengcupheni… Empeleni, lokhu kwenza isizathu singaboni ukuthi yini ebalulekile. Ukumelana nalokhu kusithwa kwesizathu nokugcina amandla aso okubona okubalulekile, ukubona uNkulunkulu nomuntu, ukubona okuhle nokuyiqiniso, intshisekelo evamile okumele ihlanganise bonke abantu benentando enhle. Ikusasa lomhlaba lisengozini. —Ibhid.

Empeleni, umhlaba usengcupheni ye- ukungabi namthetho. Manje, lokhu akusho ukungabi nayo imithetho, kepha kunalokho ukwamukela, ukuhlanganisa, nokuqamba amanga njengamaqiniso. Ukushiya iqiniso elinenhloso, elibopha ngaphansi imigomo yomthetho olungile, ukuvumela isakhiwo sonke ukuthi siwe.

Ngakho-ke, uNkulunkulu ubanikele ekungcoleni ngezinkanuko zezinhliziyo zabo ngenxa yokonakala kwemizimba yabo. Banana iqiniso likaNkulunkulu ngamanga, bahlonipha bakhonza okudaliweyo kunoMdali obongekayo kuze kube phakade. (Rom 1: 24-25)

Izwi leqiniso elivimbela abantu ezinkanukweni zabo ngokubabizela ekuphendukeni futhi babuyele endleleni efanele, liphathiswe iSonto…

 

IBANDLA LIYAZIVIMBELA

UJesu wathembisa abaPhostoli “lapho efika, uMoya weqiniso, uzakuniholela kulo lonke iqiniso. " ^[5]isib. Johane 16:13 Kepha kwakungafanele bafihle leli qiniso ngaphansi kobhasikidi webhasi; kunalokho, bathunywa ukuba:

Ngakho-ke hambani niyokwenza izizwe zonke abafundi… nibafundise ukugcina konke enginiyale ngakho. (Math 28: 19-20)

… Indoda enesono idinga umusa nokwambulelwa ukuze iqiniso lokuziphatha nenkolo laziwe “yiwo wonke umuntu onendawo, ngokuqiniseka okuqinile nangaphandle kokuhlanganiswa kwephutha.” Umthetho wemvelo uhlinzeka ngomthetho oveziwe nomusa ngesisekelo esilungiselelwe nguNkulunkulu nangokuhambisana nomsebenzi kaMoya. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 1960

Ngenguquko yaseFrance, ^[6]1789-99 AD ukwahlukana phakathi kweSonto nombuso kwahlelwa futhi amalungelo esintu aqala ukuchazwa, hhayi ngomthetho wemvelo nokuziphatha, kepha wachazwa isimo. Kusukela manje, igunya leSonto lokuziphatha liye laguguleka, njengokuthi namuhla:

… Inkolo yobuKrestu ayisavunyelwa ukuthi iziveze ngokusobala… egameni lokubekezelelana, ukubekezelelana kuyaqedwa. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ingxoxo noPeter Seewald, p. 52-53

Umqondo oyinkohliso wokuthi “ukubekezelelana" ^[7]isb. http://radio.foxnews.com/ ngenkathi kudala inkohliso "yenkululeko", kuholele ekwenqatshweni kweqiniso eliphefumulelwe ngaleyo ndlela okuholela isintu ohlotsheni olusha lobugqila:

ISonto limema abaphathi bezepolitiki ukuthi balinganise izahlulelo nezinqumo zabo ngokuqhathanisa naleli qiniso eliphefumulelwe ngoNkulunkulu nomuntu: Imiphakathi engawuqapheli lo mbono noma owenqabayo egameni lokuzimela kwabo ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu balethwe ukuba bafune imigomo nenhloso yabo kubo noma bababoleke kusuka emibonweni ethile. Njengoba bengavumi ukuthi umuntu angavikela umbandela wokulungile nokungalungile, bayazikhukhumeza okusobala noma okusobala obumbene amandla phezu komuntu nesiphetho sakhe, njengoba umlando ukhombisa. —UPOPE JOHN PAUL II, ICentesimus annus,n. 45, 46

Ngempela…

Ngemiphumela ebuhlungu, inqubo ende yomlando ifinyelela ekuguqukeni. Inqubo eke yaholela ekutholeni umqondo of “amalungelo esintu” —amalungelo atholakala kuwo wonke umuntu naphambi kwanoma yimuphi umthetho-sisekelo noMbuso — namuhla kuphawulwe ngokungqubuzana okumangazayo… lona kanye ilungelo lokuphila liyenqatshwa noma linyathelwe… ilungelo lokuqala nelingenakuphikwa lempilo liyabuzwa noma kwenqatshwe ngokwesisekelo sevoti lasephalamende noma ngentando yengxenye eyodwa yabantu — noma ngabe iningi. Lokhu kungumphumela omubi wobumbano olubusa ngaphandle kokuphikiswa: "ilungelo" liyayeka ukuba njalo, ngoba alisasekelwa ngokuqinile kwisithunzi somuntu esingaphunyuki, kepha lenziwa lithobele intando yengxenye enamandla. Ngale ndlela intando yeningi, ephikisana nemigomo yayo, isebenza ngempumelelo ifinyelele ohlotsheni lwe- ubushiqela. —I-POPE JOHN PAUL II, IVangelium Vitae, "IVangeli Lokuphila",n. 18, 20

Ubushiqela obukhona manje global emvelweni, ngenxa yomkhuba womhlaba wonke. Ngeza kulokhu izingcingo eziphindaphindwayo zemali yomhlaba kanye ne "oda lomhlaba omusha", ^[8]qhathanisa Ukuloba Odongeni njengoba umnotho womhlaba njengoba sazi ukuthi uyaqhubeka nokuwohloka. ^[9]qhathanisa Ukuwa KweBabiloni Kepha akuyona nje ingcindezelo yezomnotho noma yezepolitiki, kepha a inkolo ephethwe "yilabo abanamandla" okudala "umbono futhi bawuphoqelele kwabanye." ^[10]UPAPA JOHN PAUL II, eCherry Creek State Park eHomily, eDenver, eColorado, ngo-1993

… Inkolo engaqondakali, nembi yenziwe yaba yindinganiso yobushiqela okumele wonke umuntu ayilandele. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ukuxoxisana noPeter Seewald, iphe. I-52

Ukuhleleka komhlaba kukodwa akukubi ngempela; kepha uma iqiniso liyaliwa—NeBandla elimemezelayo—ekugcineni kuzoholela ekwamukelweni kwalowo uJesu ambiza ngokuthi "umqambimanga noyise wamanga". ^[11]isib. Johane 8:44 Okwe…

… Ngaphandle kokuqondiswa kwesisa senhliziyo ngeqiniso, lo mbuso womhlaba wonke ungadala umonakalo ongakaze ubonwe futhi udale ukwahlukana okusha emndenini wesintu… isintu sinezingozi ezintsha zokugqilazwa nokukhohliswa… -AmaCaritas eVikisa, n. 33, 26

… Ukugqilazwa yilowo “umkhohlisi” amnika amandla akhe: uJudas, ^[12]isib. Johane 13:27 ongenamthetho, "indodana yokulahlwa", Umphik'ukristu noma isilo:

Udrako walinika amandla alo nesihlalo sobukhosi, kanye negunya elikhulu. (IsAm 13: 2)

Ungena emandleni lapho lokho "okumvimbayo" kususwa.

 

IDWALA NOMTHENGISI

Lapho esengukhadinali, uPapa Benedict XVI wabhala:

U-Abrahama, ubaba wokholo, kungokholo lwakhe idwala elibamba izinxushunxushu, isikhukhula esidala sokubhujiswa, ngakho-ke sigcina indalo. USimon, owokuqala ukuvuma ukuthi uJesu unguKristu… manje iba ngenxa yokholo luka-Abrahama, olwenziwa musha kuKristu, idwala elimelene negagasi elingcolile lokungakholwa nokubhujiswa kwalo komuntu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI (UKhadinali Ratzinger), Sibizelwe eSidlweni, Ukuqonda iSonto Namuhla, Adrian Walker, Tr., K. 55-56

UPapa, owalandela uSimon Peter, ngenxa yesikhundla sakhe saphezulu “njengedwala” nomgcini “wokhiye bombuso”, ^[13]isib. UMathewu 16: 18-19 kugodla “imfihlakalo yokweqa umthetho” ngokugcwele. UPapa, nokho, akayedwa; kukhona "amatshe aphilayo" ^[14]isib. 1 Pet. 2:5 eyakhelwe phezu kwakhe phezu kwesisekelo onguKristu, itshe legumbi, ^[15]isib. 1 Kor 3:11 ohola lonke iBandla kulo lonke iqiniso ngoMoya wakhe.

Wonke umzimba wabathembekile… awunakuphutha ezindabeni zenkolelo. Lesi sici siboniswa ekwazisweni okungaphezu kokwemvelo kokholo (izinzwa fideiengxenyeni yabantu bonke, lapho, kusukela kubabhishobhi kuya kwabokugcina abathembekile, bekhombisa ukuvumelana kwendawo yonke ezindabeni zokholo nokuziphatha. -Catechism weSonto LamaKatolika,n. 92

Ngakho-ke, wonke umzimba kaKristu uhlanganyela enkonzweni kaPetrine kuze kufike lapho ehlala ebudlelwaneni naye. Ngakho-ke, ingabe lokho kuvimbela ukungabi namthetho okungalawuleki — empeleni, Umphik'ukristu—ubufakazi bokuziphatha nezwi leBandla, ngokuhlanganyela noBaba oNgcwele?

ISonto lihlala libizelwa ukwenza lokho uNkulunkulu akucela ku-Abrahama, okusho ukuthi kunamadoda alungile anele okucindezela ububi nokubhujiswa. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ukuxoxisana noPeter Seewald, iphe. I-166

Lapho amaKristu eyeka ukukhanya ^[16]qhathanisa Utshe Lokukhanya Kwakhe, noma lapho lokho kukhanya kufiphazwe yisono nenkohlakalo, lelo “lizwi” elinegunya lilahlekelwa amandla alo nokuziphatha. Ikusasa-ke alisanqunywa yimiphetho, kepha yilokho uPapa Benedict akubiza ngokuthi “umbuso wobushiqela wobumbano”….

… Okushiya njengesilinganiso sokugcina kuphela komuntu nezifiso zakhe… —UKhadinali Ratzinger (uPapa BENEDICT XVI) ngaphambi komhlangano u-Homily, ngo-Ephreli 18, 2005

Manje singaqonda kangcono, kungani, kuleli hora, i isibambi siyasuswa, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yamahlazo asakazekile ocansi ebupristini. Ngokuphathelene nalezi zono, uPapa Benedict akazange acace:

Ngenxa yalokho, ukukholwa okunjalo kuye kungakholakali, futhi iSonto alisakwazi ukuzethula ngokwethenjelwa njengommemezeli weNkosi. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, Ukuxoxisana noPeter Seewald, iphe. I-25

Ngisho no-St. Michael the Archangel, njengomvikeli weSonto, naye uboshwe yinkululeko yokuzikhethela yamalungu alo uma ekhetha ukungena ekuhlubukeni.

 

UMBUSO WAMAROMA

Kuthiwani ngoMbuso WaseRoma? Impucuko yaseNtshonalanga yakhelwe ngokwengxenye phezu kwemigomo yoMbuso WaseRoma, ikakhulukazi imigomo yamaJudaeo-Christian eyamukela. Ngaphansi koMbusi uConstantine, iRoma yaba ngeyobuKrestu futhi ukusuka lapho, ubuKhatholika basakazekela kulo lonke elaseYurophu nakwamanye amazwe. Ukuwa koMbuso WaseRoma, ngakho-ke, kungaqondakala, ngokwengxenye, njengokuwa kwalezo zimilo zobuKristu ezaziwusekela. 

Lokhu ukuvukela [ukuhlubuka], noma ewa, kuvame ukuqondwa obaba basendulo, a ukuvukela embusweni waseRoma, owaqala ukubhujiswa, ngaphambi kokufika kuka-Antichrist. Kungenzeka, mhlawumbe, kuqondwe futhi nge ukuvukela wezizwe eziningi ezivela eSontweni LamaKatolika, ngokwengxenye, esivele senzekile, esebenzisa uMahomet, uLuther, njll futhi okungacatshangwa ukuthi, kuzoba okujwayelekile ezinsukwini zoMphikukristu. —Umbhalo waphansi kweyesi-2 Thes 2: 3, IDouay-Rheims Holy Bible, IBaronius Press Limited, 2003; k. 235

Namuhla, uMbuso WaseRoma ukholelwa ukuthi ubuziphilisa ngandlela thile nge-European Union, eyamukela le Isivumelwano saseRoma ekwakheni inyunyana yalo yezomnotho. IMelika, ngingangeza, ithola izimpande zayo kubantu baseYurophu, futhi ngomlando wempi ocishe ube njalo, wakhe umbuso wezinhlobo kulo lonke elaseMiddle East nangale kwawo. Abanye bakholelwa kumRoma Umbuso awukakhuphuki esimweni sawo sokugcina ngaphambi kokuba uwe ngokuphelele. Iphuzu nokho, yilokhu: Impucuko yaseNtshonalanga iyawa, kusho uPapa Benedict.

UNkulunkulu uyanyamalala emkhathizwe womuntu, futhi, ngokufiphala kokukhanya okuvela kuNkulunkulu, isintu silahlekelwa ukubekezelela kwaso, nemiphumela ebonakala ngokucekelayo ebonakalayo. -Incwadi Yobungcwele Bakhe uPapa Benedict XVI kubo Bonke Ababhishobhi Bomhlaba, Mashi 10, 2009; I-Catholic Online

Idamu lokweqa umthetho selizovuleka livulekele umhlaba, ikusasa lawo, axwayisa ngalo, “elisengcupheni.” 

 

YINI EBENGAYITHI?

Ukube uPapa Pius X ubephila namuhla… edabula izinxanxathela zethu zezitolo ngeSonto, ephawula amasonto ethu angenalutho futhi avaliwe, ^[17]nb. kunezindawo, njengase-Afrika nasezingxenyeni ezithile zaseNdiya lapho iSonto lichuma khona; Ngikhuluma lapha ngezwe laseNtshonalanga ukuthi, ikakhulukazi, liphethe ikusasa lezepolitiki nezomnotho emhlabeni, ngokuhle noma ngokubi… ukubukela isampula lama-sitcom sakusihlwa nama-movie e-Hollywood, ukuchitha usuku lonke upheqa i-inthanethi, ulalela ama-jock ethuthuka emsakazweni, ubuka imibhikisho yamaqaba, uqhathanisa abantu baseNyakatho Melika abanesibindi nabantu base-Afrika abalambile, nokubala inani labantwana abangakazalwa ababulawa isisu izinkulungwane usuku nosuku… ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi sizomuzwa ememeza… ^[18]qhathanisa Kungani Abapapa Bengamemezi?
