Ukwehluleka KwamaKatolika

 

FOR iminyaka eyishumi nambili iNkosi ingicelile ukuba ngihlale phezu “kothango” njengenye ye “Abalindi” bakaJohn Paul II futhi ngikhulume ngalokhu engikubona kuza - hhayi ngokwemibono yami, ukucabanga kwangaphambili, noma imicabango, kodwa ngokwesambulo sangempela Esisesidlangalaleni nesangasese lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma njalo kubantu Bakhe. Kepha ngokususa amehlo ami kulezi zinsuku ezimbalwa ezedlule bese ngibheka iNdlu yethu, iSonto LamaKatolika, ngizithola ngigobisa ikhanda lami ngamahloni.

 

I-IRISH HARBINGER

Okwenzeke e-Ireland ngempelasonto mhlawumbe bekungenye “yezimpawu zezikhathi” ezibaluleke kakhulu engizibonile esikhathini eside esidlule. Njengoba wazi, iningi elikhulu livotele ukwamukela ukukhishwa kwezisu ngokusemthethweni.

I-Ireland izwe ("elalingama" Katolika) ngokumangalisayo. Wayegxile ebuhedeni waze uSt.Patrick wamholela ezingalweni zikaMama omusha, iSonto. Ubengalungisa amanxeba ezwe, avuselele abantu bakhe, ahlele kabusha imithetho yakhe, aguqule ukubukeka kwakhe, futhi amenze ame njengendlu yesibani eqondisa imiphefumulo elahlekile emachwebeni aphephile ensindiso. Ngenkathi ubuKhatholika bukhalisa ezindaweni eziningi zaseYurophu ngemuva kweNguquko yaseFrance, ukholo lwase-Ireland lwahlala luqinile. 

Kungakho leli voti liyisibonakaliso esesabekayo. Ngaphandle kwe- amaqiniso esayensi lokho kugcizelela ubuntu bengane engakazalwa; ngaphandle kwezimpikiswano zefilosofi zokuthi kuqinisekisa ubuntu bayo; ngaphandle kwe- ubufakazi bobuhlungu obudalile enganeni ngesikhathi sokukhipha isisu; ngaphandle kwe- izithombe, izimangaliso zezokwelapha, futhi okuyisisekelo yenza umqondo kwanoma ngubani futhi ngubani okhula esibelethweni sikamama… i-Ireland ivotele letha ukuqothulwa kohlanga ogwini lwabo. Lona unyaka ka-2018; ama-Irish awahlali endaweni engenalutho. Isizwe “samaKhatholika” sagwema amehlo aso enkambisweni enesihluku yokuthi ukukhipha isisu, futhi saxegisa onembeza babo ngokuthi bechitha iqiniso ngezimpikiswano ezincanyana zephepha lokuthi “ilungelo” lowesifazane Umqondo wokuthi bakholelwa ukuthi umntwana ongakazalwa umane nje “uyisicubu sesisu” noma “isibalo samaseli” unomusa kakhulu. Cha, i-Ireland yamaKatolika imemezele lokho, njengowesifazane waseMelika uCamille Paglia, lokho umuntu wesifazane unelungelo lokubulala omunye umuntu lapho izidingo zakhe zisengozini: 

Ngihlale ngivuma ngokusobala ukuthi ukukhipha isisu ukubulala, ukuqeda abangenamandla ngabanamandla. Iningi labakhululekile liye lancipha ekubhekaneni nemiphumela yokuziphatha ekwamukeleni kwabo ukukhipha isisu, okuholela ekuqothulweni kwabantu ababambekayo hhayi nje izicubu zezicubu ezingavikelekile. Umbono ngokubona kwami ​​awunagunya lokungenelela ezinqubweni zebhayoloji zomzimba wowesifazane, okuyinto imvelo efakwe lapho ngaphambi kokuzalwa futhi ngenxa yalokho ngaphambi kokungena kwalowo wesifazane emphakathini kanye nokuba yisakhamuzi. —UCamille Paglia, Salon, Septhemba 10, 2008

Uyemukelwa kulo lonke elaseNtshonalanga “enenqubekela phambili” lapho singagcinanga nje ngokwamukela umcabango kaHitler wama-eugenics kodwa sesidlulele phambili — empeleni sikubungaza ukuzibulala kwethu sisonke. 

Ukuzibulala kohlanga lwesintu kuzoqondwa yilabo abazobona umhlaba ugcwele abantu asebekhulile futhi benciphise izingane: kushiswa njengehlane. —USt. UPio kaPietrelcina

Yazi, sabona i-microcosm yalolu hlobo lokuzibulala lapho, ngo-2007, eMexico City bavotela ukufaka isisu ngokusemthethweni Lapho. Ukubaluleka kwalokho akunakudlulelwa nakho, ngoba kulapho i- isithombe esiyisimangaliso se-Our Lady of Guadalupe ilenga — isimangaliso esaqeda ngokoqobo “isiko lokufa” lama-Aztec lapho kwanikelwa khona ngamakhulu ezinkulungwane zamadoda, abesifazane nezingane, kunkulunkulu wezinyoka uQuetzalcoatl. Ukuze lelo dolobha “lamaKatolika” liphinde lamukele umhlatshelo wabantu ngaleyo ndlela lenze iminikelo yegazi kuleyonyoka yasendulo uSathane futhi (manje esemakamelweni anenzalo esikhundleni sezintaba zethempeli) kuyinto eguqukayo emangalisayo. 

Vele, ivoti lase-Ireland lakamuva lilandela ngemuva kweRereferendamu yabo Yomshado e-2015 lapho kwamukelwa kabusha okucacile komshado. Lokho bekuxwayisa ngokwanele ukuthi unkulunkulu wezinyoka ubuyele e-Ireland…

 

Amahlazo

“Ngandlela thile,” kuphawula uprofesa wase-Ireland wezenkolo ...

… Umphumela omubi [izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zokuvotela ukukhipha isisu] yilokho umuntu angakulindela, uma kubhekwa umhlaba wesimanjemanje ongenandaba nenkolo futhi ohloniphayo esiphila kuwo, umlando omubi weSonto LamaKatolika e-Ireland nakwezinye izindawo maqondana namahlazo okunukubezwa ngokocansi kwezingane, ubuthakathaka umkhuba weSonto wokufundisa ngezinkinga zokuziphatha nokuziphatha emashumini ambalwa edlule… - incwadi eyimfihlo

Umuntu ngeke akubukele phansi okwenziwe ngamahlazo ezocansi ocansini kubapristi emhlabeni wonke ukudicilela phansi ukuthunywa kukaJesu Kristu. 

Ngenxa yalokho, ukukholwa okunjalo kuye kungakholakali, futhi iSonto alisakwazi ukuzethula ngokwethenjelwa njengommemezeli weNkosi. —I-POPE BENEDICT XVI, Ukukhanya Kwezwe, UPapa, iSonto, Nezimpawu Zezikhathi: Ingxoxo noPeter Seewald, k. 23-25

Bobabili uBenedict XVI noPapa Francis baphikelele ekutheni iSonto alihlanganyeli nokuguqula abantu kodwa likhula “ngokuheha.”^[1]"ISonto alihlanganyeli nokuguqula abantu. Esikhundleni salokho, uyakhula ngo- "ukukhanga": njengoba nje noKrestu “edonsela konke kuye” ngamandla othando lwakhe, afinyelela umvuthwandaba ngomhlatshelo weSiphambano, kanjalo-ke iSonto lifeza umsebenzi walo kuze kuthi, ngokubambisana noKristu, lifeze yonke imisebenzi yalo ngokomoya nokulingisa okusebenzayo ngothando lweNkosi yakhe. ” —UBENEDICT XVI, Ohlonishwa Ngokuvulwa Kwengqungquthela Yesihlanu Yababhishobhi baseLatin America naseCaribbean, ngoMeyi 13, 2007; v Vatican.va Uma kunjalo, kusho ukuthi ukuncipha kwamanani eSonto LamaKatolika eNtshonalanga kubonisa ukufa “ngokwenyanya.” Yini ngempela iSonto laseYurophu naseNyakatho Melika ekunikezayo emhlabeni? Sivela kanjani ngokwehlukile kunanoma iyiphi enye inhlangano esiza umphakathi? Yini ehlukanisa nathi? 

USolwazi wezenkolo, uFr. UJulián Carrón, wathi:

UbuKristu babizelwa ukukhombisa iqiniso labo endaweni eyiqiniso. Uma labo abahlangana nayo bengabutholi ubusha obuthembisayo, nakanjani bazodumala. -Ukuqeda Ubuhle: Indatshana Kokholo, Iqiniso, Nenkululeko (I-University of Notre Dame Press); kucashunwe ku- I-Magnificat, Meyi 2018, amakhasi 427-428

Umhlaba udumele kakhulu. Okushodayo ebuKhatholika ezindaweni eziningi akukhona ukungabi bikho kwezakhiwo ezinhle, isikhwama semali esanele, noma ngisho nezinkonzo ezihloniphekile. Yi- amandla kaMoya oNgcwele. Umehluko phakathi kwebandla langaphambi nangemva kwePentekoste lokuqala kwakungelona ulwazi kepha kwakungamandla, ukukhanya okungabonakali okuhlaba izinhliziyo nemiphefumulo yabantu. Kwakungu- ukukhanya kwangaphakathi lokho kwaphuma ngaphakathi kubaPhostoli ngoba babezithulule ukuze bagcwaliswe nguNkulunkulu. Njengoba sifunda eVangelini lanamuhla, uPeter wathi: “Sidele konke sakulandela.”

Inkinga akukhona ukuthi thina eSontweni asiphathi inhlangano enhle futhi senza nemisebenzi efanelekile yezenhlalakahle, kodwa ukuthi sinjalo namanje emhlabeni. Asikaze sizidele. Asizange siyilahle inyama yethu noma iminikelo emangazayo yomhlaba, futhi ngenxa yalokho, seyiyinyumba futhi ayinamandla.

… 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

Kusizani ukuthi sibe newebhusayithi ephelele noma i-homily ekhuluma kahle kakhulu uma amagama ethu futhi engadlulisi lutho ngaphandle kobuciko bethu noma ubuhlakani bethu?

Amasu wokuvangela amahle mahle, kepha ngisho nalawo asethuthuke kakhulu awazange athathe indawo yesenzo sikaMoya. Ukulungiselelwa okuphelele kovangeli akunamphumela ngaphandle kukaMoya oNgcwele. Ngaphandle kukaMoya oNgcwele, ulimi olukholisa kakhulu alunamandla enhliziyweni yomuntu. —UPAPA OBUSISIWE UPAUL VI, Izinhliziyo Zishisa: Umoya Ongcwele Enhliziyweni Yempilo YamaKristu Namuhla ngu-Alan Schreck

ISonto alihluleki nje kuphela shumayela ngempilo namazwi agcwaliswe ngoMoya, kepha wehlulekile ezingeni lendawo futhi fundisa izingane zakhe. Sengineminyaka engamashumi ayisihlanu manje, futhi angikaze ngizwe nomndeni owodwa nge-contraception, ingasaphathwa eyamanye amaqiniso wokuziphatha avinjelwe namuhla. Ngenkathi abanye abapristi nababhishobhi bebe nesibindi esikhulu ekwenzeni umsebenzi wabo, ulwazi lwami luvame kakhulu.

Abantu bami bayabhubha ngokuswela ulwazi! (Hoseya 4: 6)

Lokhu kwehluleka okukhulu kungumphumela wohlelo lwe-Modernism, olulethe isiko lokukholelwa ezifundweni zokufundisa ezikhungweni zemfundo ephakeme nasemphakathini ngokufanayo, ngaleyo ndlela liguqule abaningi eSontweni baba amagwala okhothamela i-altare likaJehova unkulunkulu wokulunga kwezepolitiki. 

… Ayikho indlela elula yokukusho. ISonto e-United States lenze umsebenzi omubi wokwakha ukholo nonembeza wamaKhatholika iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-40. Futhi manje sivuna imiphumela — esigcawini somphakathi, emindenini yethu nasekudidekeni kwempilo yethu. - UMbhishobhi Omkhulu uCharles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., Ukunikela KuKesari: Umsebenzi Wezombusazwe WamaKatolika, NgoFebhuwari 23, 2009, eToronto, eCanada

Futhi hhayi nje abelusi. Nathi, izimvu, asiyilandelanga iNkosi yethu, eyenzileyo Ngokwakhe kucace inqwaba yezinye izindlela namathuba lapho abelusi behlulekile khona. Uma umhlaba ungakholelwa kuKristu, kungenxa yokuthi abambonanga uKristu abantu abadala. Thina — hhayi abefundisi — “singusawoti nokukhanya” iNkosi ekusakaze emakethe. Uma usawoti ungahambi kahle noma ukukhanya kungabonakali, kungenxa yokuthi singcoliswe ngumhlaba futhi safiphazwa yisono. Lowo oyifuna ngokweqiniso iNkosi uzomthola, futhi kulokho ubuhlobo bomuntu siqu, bazokhipha Impilo Yaphezulu nenkululeko eletha.

Okufunwa yilo lonke owesilisa, owesifazane, nengane inkululeko yangempela, hhayi kuphela emibusweni yobushiqela, kodwa ikakhulukazi emandleni esono esibusayo, esiphazamisayo nesintshontshayo ukuthula kwangaphakathi. Ngakho-ke, kusho uPapa Francis namhlanje ekuseni, kubalulekile ukuthi we yibani ngcwele, okungukuthi, abangcwele.

Ukubizelwa ebungcweleni, okuwubizo olujwayelekile, yibizo lethu lokuphila njengomKristu; okungukuthi ukuhlala njengomKristu kuyefana nokuthi 'ukuphila njengongcwele'. Izikhathi eziningi sicabanga ngobungcwele njengento exakile, njengokuthi sibe nemibono noma imithandazo ephakeme… noma abanye bacabange ukuthi ukuba ngcwele kusho ukuba nobuso obunjalo kwi-cameo… cha. Ukuba ngcwele kungenye into. Ukuqhubeka ngale ndlela lapho iNkosi isitshela khona ngobungcwele… ungamukeli izindlela zomhlaba — ungazithathi lezo zindlela zokuziphatha, leyo ndlela yokucabanga kwezwe, leyo ndlela yokucabanga nokwahlulela izwe elikunikeza lona ngoba lokhu kuyakuncisha wena wenkululeko. - Ngomndeni, Meyi 29, 2018; I-Zenit.org

 

IZIMPI ZAMAKHATHOLIKI

Kepha ngubani olalele uPapa kulezi zinsuku? Cha, ngisho amazwi acacile futhi ayiqiniso, njengalawa angenhla, aphonswa emgqonyeni wezibi namhlanje ngamaKhatholika amaningi “agcina imikhuba” ngoba uPapa ubelokhu edida ngezinye izikhathi. Bese bethatha izinkundla zokuxhumana bese bethi “uPapa Francis ubhubhisa iSonto”… konke, ngenkathi umhlaba ubheka ukuthi kungani emhlabeni befuna ukujoyina isikhungo esisebenzisa inkulumo engabekezelelani kakhulu komunye nomunye, ingasaphathwa eyobuholi babo . Lapha, amazwi kaKristu abonakala ngathi abalekele abaningi kulezi zinsuku:

Ngalokho bonke bayokwazi ukuthi ningabafundi bami, uma nithandana. (Johane 13:35)

Eminyakeni engaphezu kwamashumi amabili nanhlanu ngisenkonzweni, kuyadabukisa ukusho ukuthi ngamaKhatholika “endabuko” kakhulu akhombise ukuba yiwo abantu abanezinhliziyo ezilukhuni, abanolaka, nabangafundeki ngiye ngaba nokudumala kokuxoxisana nabo.

Ukucabanga okufanelekile kwemfundiso noma isiyalo kuholela esikhundleni se-narcissistic and authoritarian, lapho kuthi esikhundleni sokushumayela ivangeli, umuntu ahlaziye futhi ahlukanise abanye, futhi esikhundleni sokuvula umnyango womusa, umuntu uqeda amandla akhe ekuhloleni nasekuqinisekiseni. Kulezi zimo zombili akekho umuntu okhathalela ngempela uJesu Kristu noma abanye. —I-POPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium,n. 94 

Kukhona okungahambanga kahle kakhulu ngokuxhumana namuhla. Amandla ethu okungavumelani ngenhlonipho anciphe ngokushesha eminyakeni embalwa nje. Abantu basebenzisa i-intanethi namuhla njengenqama lokushaya ukuphoqa imibono yabo. Lapho lokhu kwenzeka phakathi kwamaKristu, kuyimbangela yehlazo.

Phokophelelani ukuthula nawo wonke umuntu, futhi ngalelo bungcwele okungekho noyedwa oyobona iNkosi… kepha uma ngingenalo uthando, angizuzi lutho. (Hebheru 12:14, 1 Cor 13: 3)

O, kukangaki ngithola ukuthi akuyona into engiyishoyo kodwa Kanjani Ngiyakusho lokho kwenze wonke umehluko!

 

IZIMPAWU ZASEKAPA

Ukungaqondakali okulandele sonke isikhundla sobupristi sikaFrancis nakho kudale ihlazo. Umuntu akakwazi ukubuyisa lezo zihloko eziveze ukuthi uPapa uthi "Asikho isihogo”Noma ukuthi“ uNkulunkulu wakwenza isitabane. ” Ngithole izincwadi ezivela kubantu abaguqukele kubuKatolika abazibuza manje ukuthi ngabe benze iphutha elikhulu yini. Abanye bacabanga ukushiya iSonto ngenxa yezinkolelo ze-Orthodox noma zeVangeli. Abanye abapristi bangitshele ukuthi bafakwa ezimeni zokuyekethisa lapho amalungu omhlambi wabo, aphila ngokufeba, ecela ukwamukela iSidlo esingcwele ngoba "uPapa wathi singakwazi." Futhi manje sinesimo esidabukisayo lapho amakolishi ombhishobhi enza izimemezelo eziphikisana ngokuphelele nezingqungquthela zabanye ababhishobhi.

Uma ngabe besingena ebangeni lobunye namaKristu angamaVangeli, eziningi zalezo zindlela ziye zalinywa zahlwanyelwa nembewu yokungathembeki.

Ngivikele uPapa Francis eminyakeni emihlanu eyedlule ngesizathu sokuthi unguMmeli kaKristu — noma ngabe uyathanda noma cha. Ufundisile, futhi uyaqhubeka nokufundisa izinto eziningi zeqiniso, ngaphandle kokudideka okusobala okukhula nsuku zonke. 

Kumele sisize uPapa. Kumele sime naye njengoba besingama nobaba wethu uqobo. - UCardinal Sarah, Meyi 16, 2016, Izincwadi ezivela kuJenali kaRobert Moynihan

Sisiza uPapa - futhi sigweme ukubangela ihlazo kwabangakholwa - lapho silwela ukuqonda ukuthi uPhapha wathini noma wayeqonde ukuthini; lapho simnika inzuzo yokungabaza; futhi uma singavumelani nemibono ecashile yeziketi noma ukuphawula okungekhona kukamantshi, kwenziwa ngendlela ehloniphayo nasenkundleni efanele. 

 

IPOLITIKI “LOMKHATHOLIKI”

Okokugcina, thina maKatolika sihlulekile emhlabeni lapho osopolitiki bethu bethanda UNdunankulu uJustin Trudeau kanye nenqwaba yabanye abasebenzi bezombusazwe abathandekayo ngamaMisa ethu wangeSonto bazibiza ngokuthi bangabavikeli bamalungelo abantu, konke lokhu bewanyathela - ikakhulukazi amalungelo angempela abantu abasengozini enkulu. Uma inkululeko yenkolo iphukelwa umkhumbi ngokuphelele ezikhathini zethu, kungenxa yokuthi sibonga kakhulu osopolitiki bamaKhatholika kanye namaqembu okuvota akhethe abesilisa nabesifazane abangenawo amandla abathanda kakhulu amandla nezinhloso ezilungile zepolitiki kunoJesu Kristu. 

Akumangalisi ukuthi izithombe ze-Our Lady (lowo uBenedict XVI ambiza ngokuthi “isibuko seSonto”) kubikwa ukuthi ziyakhala emhlabeni wonke. Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi sibhekane neqiniso: iSonto LamaKatolika liyisithunzi sethonya elake laba nalo; amandla angaqondakali aguqula imibuso, imithetho emise okwakhe, nobuciko, umculo nokwakhiwa kwezakhiwo. Kepha manje, ukuyekethisa kwakhe emhlabeni kudale i- Umshini Omkhulu lokho kugcwaliswa ngokushesha ngomoya womphikukristu kanye a Ubukhomanisi obusha efuna ukuthatha isikhundla sikaBaba oseZulwini.

Ngokuhamba kobuhlakani bokukhanyiselwa, ukuvukela okwalandela inkolo kwe-French Revolution, kanye nokwenqatshwa okujulile kwengqondo yokubuka umhlaba kobuKristu okufanekiselwa nguMarx, Nietzsche, noFreud, amabutho adedelwa emasikweni aseNtshonalanga agcina eholele hhayi kuphela ukwenqatshelwa kobudlelwano besonto nombuso obabuguquke emakhulwini amaningi eminyaka kepha ukwaliwa kwenkolo uqobo njengokwakha isiko ngokusemthethweni… Ukuwa kwamasiko obuKrestu, njengobuthakathaka nokungaqondakali njengoba kwakunjalo ngandlela thile, sekuthinte kakhulu izinkolelo nezenzo yamaKatolika abhapathiziwe. —The Post-Bokreste Sacramental Crisis: The Wisdom of Thomas Aquinas, uDkt. Ralph Martin, k. 57-58

 

UKUSETHA KABUSHA KAKHULU

Omunye angase abuze ngokunengqondo-ke, "Kungani uhlala eSontweni LamaKatolika?"

Yebo, sengivele ngibhekane nesilingo eminyakeni eminingi eyedlule (cf. Hlala, Ube Ukukhanya). Isizathu sokuthi angishiyanga ngaleso sikhathi siyefana engingasoze ngasishiya namuhla: UbuKrestu abuyona inkolo, buyindlela eya enkululekweni eyiqiniso (nobunye noNkulunkulu); UbuKatolika yibona obuchaza imingcele yaleyo ndlela; inkolo-ke imane ihamba phakathi kwabo.

Abantu abathi bangokomoya kepha abayifuni inkolo abathembekile. Ngoba lapho beya endaweni abayithandayo yomthandazo noma umhlangano womkhuleko; lapho belengisa isithombe abasithandayo sikaJesu noma bekhanyisa ikhandlela ukuze bathandaze; lapho behlobisa isihlahla sikaKhisimusi noma bethi “Aleluya” njalo ekuseni ngePhasika… lokho is inkolo. Inkolo kumane nje kuyinhlangano nokwakheka komoya ngokuya ngezinkolelo eziyinhloko. “UbuKhatholika” baqala lapho uKristu emisa amadoda ayishumi nambili ukuba afundise konke ayala ngakho futhi “enze izizwe zonke abafundi.” Okusho ukuthi, kwakufanele kube khona i-oda kukho konke.  

Kepha lo myalo ubuye uvezwe ngabantu abanesono, engingomunye wabo. Ngoba emva kwakho konke lokhu engikushilo ngenhla — okunye kwalokhu kubhalwe ngezinyembezi — ngiyazibuka futhi ngiphinde ngichithe okuningi… 

Qaphela ukuthi indoda iNkosi eyithumela njengomshumayeli ibizwa ngokuthi umlindi. Umlindi uhlale emi endaweni ephakeme ukuze abone ukude okuzayo. Noma ngubani oqokelwe ukuba ngunogada wabantu kumele ame endaweni ephakeme impilo yakhe yonke amsize ngokubona kwakhe kusengaphambili. Kunzima kanjani kimi ukusho lokhu, ngoba ngawo lawa mazwi ngiyazilahla. Angikwazi ukushumayela ngekhono elithile, kodwa-ke njengoba ngiphumelela, namanje angiphili impilo yami ngokwentshumayelo yami. Angiphiki umthwalo wami wemfanelo; Ngiyabona ukuthi ngiyivila futhi ngiyadembesela, kodwa mhlawumbe ukuvuma iphutha lami kuzongenza ngixolelwe yijaji lami elilungile. —USt. UGregory Omkhulu, u-homily, Imfundo yamahora, Umq. IV, k. 1365-66

Anginamahloni ngokuba ngumKatolika. Kunalokho, ukuthi asibona amaKatolika ngokwanele.

Kubonakala kimi ukuthi “ukusethwa kabusha” kabusha kweBandla kuzodingeka okumele kuhlanzwe ngakho futhi kwenziwe lula futhi. Ngokuphazima kweso, amazwi kaPetru aba nencazelo entsha njengoba singagcini ngokubona umhlaba ubuye ube wubuqaba futhi, kodwa neSonto ngokwalo lisenkingeni, njengo “… isikebhe esiseduze ukucwila, isikebhe esihambisa amanzi nxazonke”:^[2]UKhadinali Ratzinger (UPAPA BENEDICT XVI), Mashi 24, 2005, ukuzindla kwangolwesihlanu omuhle ngokuwa kwesithathu kukaKristu

Ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale ngendlu kaNkulunkulu; uma kuqala ngathi, kuzophela kanjani kulabo abahluleka ukulalela ivangeli likaNkulunkulu? (1 Petru 4:17)

ISonto lizoba ncane futhi kuzofanele liqale kabusha ngaphezulu noma kancane kusukela ekuqaleni. Ngeke esakwazi ukuhlala ezindlini eziningi azakhile ngokuchuma. Njengoba inani labalandeli bakhe lincipha… Uzolahlekelwa yiningi lomphakathi wakhe amalungelo… Le nqubo izoba yinde futhi iyakhathaza njengoba kwakunjalo nomgwaqo osuka kwi-progressivism yamanga ngosuku olwandulela i-French Revolution - lapho umbhishobhi engase acatshangwe ukuthi uhlakaniphile uma ehlekisa ngezimfundiso futhi egcizelela nokuthi ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu abunakuqinisekiswa nakancane… Kepha lapho ukuvivinywa kwalokhu kuhlungwa kudlulile, amandla amakhulu azogobhoza esuka eBandleni elenziwe ngokomoya futhi elenziwe lula. Amadoda emhlabeni ohlelwe ngokuphelele azozithola enesizungu esingachazeki. Uma sebelahlekelwe ngokuphelele ukubona uNkulunkulu, bazokuzwa konke ukwethuka ngobumpofu babo. Ngemuva kwalokho bazothola umhlambi omncane wamakholwa njengento entsha ngokuphelele. Bazoyithola njengethemba elenzelwe bona, impendulo abebelokhu beyifuna ngasese.

Ngakho-ke kubonakala kuqinisekile kimi ukuthi iSonto libhekene nezikhathi ezinzima kakhulu. Inkinga yangempela ayikaze iqale. Kuzofanele sibheke ezinxushunxushwini ezisabekayo. Kepha ngiqinisekile ngokulinganayo ngalokho okuzosala ekugcineni: hhayi iSonto lenkolo yezepolitiki, eselivele lifile noGobel, kepha iSonto lokholo. Kungenzeka angabe esaba namandla amakhulu kwezenhlalo kuze kube sezingeni lapho ayekhona kuze kube muva nje; kepha uzothokozela ukuqhakaza okusha futhi abonakale njengekhaya lomuntu, lapho ezothola khona impilo nethemba ngale kokufa. —Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (IPOPE BENEDICT XVI), Ukukholwa nekusasa, Ignatius Press, 2009

 

Le ngoma ngiyibhale eminyakeni eminingana eyedlule ngise-Ireland.
Manje sengiyaqonda ukuthi kungani yaphefumulelwa lapho…
