ekuqiniseni izimiso zokuziphatha ezingeni lomuntu ngamunye
futhi ubushiqela woMbuso
ezingeni lezepolitiki.

U-Abrahama, ubaba wokukholwa, ngokholo lwakhe yidwala elibamba izinxushunxushu,
isikhukhula esidala sokubhujiswa, futhi ngaleyo ndlela sigcine indalo.
USimoni, owokuqala ukuvuma ukuthi uJesu unguKristu…
manje uba ngenxa yokholo luka-Abrahama, olwenziwa musha kuKristu,
idwala elimele igagasi elingcolile lokungakholwa
nokubhujiswa kwalo komuntu.

LAPHO empeleni yizinto ezimbili ezibambe a igagasi leziyaluyalu ekugubuzeleni umhlaba. Enye ingokwezombangazwe, enye ingokomoya. Okokuqala, ezombusazwe…
UMPHATHI WEZOMBUSAZWE WEZOMBUSAZWE
Kukhona ukuthambekela kwesinye isikhathi kubangane bami baseMelika ukubona indawo yonke izungeza izwe labo. Kepha uma kulotshiwe ku- Imfihlakalo iBabiloni Kuyiqiniso, khona-ke iMelika nezizwe zaseNtshonalanga zingabadlali abaphambili ekugcineni kwalesi sikhathi. Ngoba iSt. John ayikhulumi nje kuphela ngendlela umhlaba odakwe ngayo yingcebo, ukuhlanekezela, nokuthengwa kwabathengi kweBabiloni, kodwa lapho uhlelo lwayo ekugcineni luwa, lungena enkathini emfushane yombuso kaSathane, "isilo."
The Incwadi yesAmbulo kufaka phakathi kwezono ezinkulu zaseBabiloni - uphawu lwamadolobha amakhulu emhlabeni angenankolo - iqiniso lokuthi lidayisa ngemizimba nemiphefumulo futhi liwaphatha njengezimpahla (cf. Rev 18: 13). Kulesi simo, inkinga yezidakamizwa ibuye ivuse ikhanda, futhi ngamandla akhulayo andisa izintambo zayo ze-octopus emhlabeni wonke - ukubonakaliswa okucacile kobushiqela bemamoni okuhlanekezela isintu. Abukho ubumnandi obenele, futhi ukweqisa kophuzo oludakayo kuba wudlame oludabula izifunda zonke - futhi konke lokhu kusenzelwa ukungayiqondi kahle inkululeko okuyiyona ecekela phansi inkululeko yomuntu futhi ekugcineni iyonakalise. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ngesikhathi Sokubingelelwa Kukhisimusi, ngoDisemba 20, 2010; http://www.vatican.va/
Kusukela okhethweni luka-2016, kukhona okuthize ngezindaba zaseMelika okuvusayo. Kungani? Ngoba sibheke impi yomphefumulo waseMelika, futhi empeleni, izwe lonke laseNtshonalanga.
Idola laseMelika kube "yimali yokuhweba" emhlabeni wonke. Ezomnotho zaseMelika kanye 
amandla ezempi, ukuthengwa kukawoyela, kanye nokufuna kwakhe izimpahla kudlale indima enkulu ekuchumeni, ebuphofwini, ezimpini, nasezinhlelweni zezombusazwe ezakhe izingxenye ezinkulu zomhlaba ngandlela thile, ikakhulukazi esikhathini esedlule ikhulu leminyaka. "I-imperialism" yaseNtshonalanga ilethe kokubili ingcindezelo nentando yeningi, ubumnyama nokukhanya. Kuyiqiniso ukuthi okwamanje - sibeka eceleni ubuntu obuyimpikiswano bukaMongameli uDonald Trump—ukuvikelwa kokugcina kwentando yeningi eyiqiniso kanye nenkululeko eyiqiniso yokukhuluma nenkolo emhlabeni ukuphathwa kwamanje kwe-United States (yize iRussia yenze igxathu elimangazayo kepha elixubekile ekuvikeleni okungenhla: bheka I-Russia… Isiphephelo Sethu?).
Ngidinga ukuvumela leso sigwebo singene isikhashana.
Isizathu ukuthi iYurophu ingcwabe ubuKrestu bayo, yize izixwayiso zophapha abathathu bokugcina. Inqubomgomo yayo yokuzalwa ephansi kakhulu kanye nezinqubomgomo zemingcele evulekile ziye zacindezela ifa layo lobuKristu. ENyakatho Melika, iCanada ingene esikhathini sangaphambi kobuKristu ngaphansi kobuholi bayo bamanje ngenkathi iMexico yehlela kokunye ukwephula umthetho. I-Islamic Jihad e-Afrika nase-Middle East iyaqhubeka nokususa nokulahla lawo mazwe emindeni yamaKrestu nabefundisi. Futhi okuphawuleka kakhulu, I-China iyathula, inyuka isinyenyela njengamandla amakhulu ezempi kanye nezobuchwepheshe njengoba ingena enkathini entsha yokulinga kwezenhlalo, ukushushiswa kobuKristu, kanye nokuphoqelela ukungakholelwa ebukhosini kubantu bayo abangenakuzisiza.
Akungabazeki ukuthi akekho umuntu ozobhapathizwa osele ozobamba inkululeko emhlabeni (njengoba sazi) kuneMelika. Kepha ukuzinza kwakhe njengamanje kubuthakathaka njengendlu yamakhadi. Isikweletu se-United States siyaqhubeka nokukhuphuka, sisisunduzela emaphethelweni okuqothuka, yize i-GDP yayo kanye nabasebenzi bekhula. Izazi zezomnotho bezilokhu zixwayisa iminyaka manje ukuthi ukuwa okuyinhlekelele kuyeza lapho isikweletu sifinyelela emalini eyimali.[1]qhathanisa 2014 kanye neSilo Esikhulayo
Kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu ukwenyuka kwe- “ubuKhomanisi obusha”E-United States — engacabangeki eminyakeni eyishumi edlule kuphela. Umabhebhana 
abazukulu — abondliwe umlando wokubuyekezwa, inkulumo-ze yasekhohlo, kanye nenkolo entsha “yokubekezelelana” engabekezeleli lutho ngaphandle kwemibono yayo — sebeqala ukwamukela imibono kaMarxist yokugcwalisa isikhala lapho i-Capitalism yehlulekile khona. Impela, intsha eyikusasa ihlala ihlolwa njalo:
Ngakho-ke umgomo wamaKhomanisi unqoba amalungu amaningi omphakathi anengqondo engcono. Laba-ke baba ngabaphostoli benhlangano phakathi kwezihlakaniphi ezisencane ezingakakhuli ngokwanele ukuthi zingakwazi ukubona amaphutha wangaphakathi ohlelo ... Lapho inkolo ixoshwa esikoleni, emfundweni nasempilweni yomphakathi, lapho abamele ubuKrestu nobungcwele bayo imicikilisho ibanjelwa ukuhlekwa usulu, ngabe empeleni asikhuthazi ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo okuwumhlabathi ovundile wobuKhomanisi? —I-POPE PIUS XI, I-Divinis Redemptoris, n. 78, 15 78
Ucabanga ukuthi kungani iSt.John Paul II yaqala Izinsuku Zomhlaba Zentsha? Ukulwa nokuhlaselwa komndeni nezingane zawo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuningi okwabekwa ukuba kwenziwe ngabongameli bangaphambilini ukuthi bacekele phansi ubuKrestu, ikakhulukazi ngokuchithwa komthetho wemvelo. Njengoba uJohnathan Last asho ngemuva kokuchazwa kabusha komshado lapho:
… Izinqumo zeNkantolo Ephakeme zangesonto eledlule bezingekhona nje ezomthethosisekelo kuphela,umthetho. Okusho ukuthi asisaphili ngaphakathi kohlelo lwemithetho, kepha sesingaphansi kohlelo olulawulwa yintando yabantu. -Umhleli, uJonathan V. Okokugcina, I-Standardly Standard, Julayi 1st, i-2015
Okungukuthi, isikhathi se- ukungabi namthetho.[2]qhathanisa Ihora Lokungabi Namthetho Yiso kanye leso sixwayiso uPapa Benedict asinikeza kaninginingi kuze kube ekugcineni eqhathanisa izikhathi zethu ekuweni koMbuso WaseRoma:
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... Kuwo wonke amathemba alo amasha namathuba, umhlaba wethu ngasikhathi sinye ukhathazwa umuzwa wokuthi ukuvumelana kokuziphatha kuyawa... Eqinisweni, 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. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli elibhekiswe kwiRomania yaseRoma, ngoDisemba 20, 2010; unokandabn.ro
Kungashiwo ukuthi ezombusazwe "kwesobunxele" ngokushesha sekufana nemibono emelene nevangeli ekhuthaza hhayi kuphela ukukhipha isisu ngokufunwa, ukusizwa ukuzibulala, umbono wobulili, "umshado" wezitabane, njll. ukucindezelwa kwenkululeko yenkolo neyokukhuluma — ngisho nokukhuthaza “ukungavumeli” uku ukuphoqelela it. U-Lori Kalner wasinda embusweni kaHitler futhi lokhu wakusho e-Melika esikhona manje ihlukaniswe phakathi ngokuhlukana kwemibono:
Bambalwa kakhulu bethu abasele ukukuxwayisa. Ngizwile ukuthi kunamaKhatholika ayizigidi ezingama-69 eMelika kanye namaKrestu angama-Evangelical angama-70. Aphi amazwi akho? Iphi intukuthelo yakho? Luphi uthando nokuvota kwakho? Uyavota ngokususelwa kuzithembiso ezingenalutho zomuntu okhipha isisu nakwezomnotho? Noma uvota ngokweBhayibheli? … Ngizibonile izimpawu zezepolitiki Zokufa ebusheni bami. Ngiyababona futhi manje… -wicatholicmusings.blogspot.com
Inceku kaNkulunkulu uMaria Esperanza waba nomuzwa wokuthi i-United States “kumele isindise umhlaba.” Kepha manje, kufanele izisindise.
IRiphabhulikhi yaseMelika empeleni iyisandiso soMbuso WaseRoma, ongakaze uwe ngokuphelele. Kepha uma iwa futhi nini, lokho kungaba lapho “isilo” sivuka ukubusa.
Angikuniki ukuthi umbuso wamaRoma uhambe. Kude nalokhu: umbuso wamaRoma usalokhu ukhona kuze kube namuhla… Futhi njengoba izimpondo, noma imibuso, isekhona, empeleni, ngenxa yalokho asikakuboni ukuphela kombuso waseRoma. —UKhadinali Obusisiwe uJohn Henry Newman (1801-1890), Izikhathi zomphikukristu, Intshumayelo 1
Kepha lapho lelo dolobha lomhlaba liyobe liwile, futhi selizoqala ukuba ngumgwaqo… ngubani ongangabaza ukuthi ukuphela sekufikile manje ezindabeni zabantu nasemhlabeni wonke? —ULactantius, uBaba weSonto, Izikhungo Zaphezulu, Incwadi VII, Ch. 25, "Kwezikhathi Zokugcina, nangoMuzi waseRoma ”; inothi: ULactantius uqhubeka athi ukuwa koMbuso WaseRoma akusikho ukuphela komhlaba, kepha kuphawula ukuqala kokubusa kuka “Kristu iminyaka eyinkulungwane” eSontweni Lakhe, kulandelwe ukuphela kwezinto zonke.
UMKHATHAZI ONGOKOMOYA
Ngoba imfihlakalo yokweqa umthetho isiyasebenza. kuphela lowo okuvimbayo manje oyokwenza lokho aze aphume endleleni. Bese kuthi lowo ongenamthetho ambulwe… (2 Thesalonika 2: 7-8)
Izikhathi nezinkathi, asazi. Kepha izimpawu zezikhathi thina kumele. USt. Paul VI uzibone ngokucacile:
Kukhona ukungakhululeki okukhulu ngalesi sikhathi emhlabeni naseSontweni, futhi okubuzwayo ukukholwa. Kuyenzeka manje ukuthi ngiphinde kimina ibinzana elingaqondakali likaJesu eVangelini likaSt. Luke: 'Lapho iNdodana yoMuntu ibuya, ingabe isazoluthola ukholo emhlabeni?'… Ngezinye izikhathi ngifunda isigaba seVangeli sokuphela izikhathi futhi ngifakazela ukuthi, ngalesi sikhathi, ezinye izimpawu zalesi siphelo ziyavela. —UPAPA ST. PAUL VI, Imfihlo Paul VI, UJean Guitton, k. 152-153, Reference (7), k. ix.
Umpapa ongasekho ubeka ukuwa kokholo kuNkulunkulu njengenye yezimpawu ezibalulekile 'zezikhathi zokugcina.' Ngoba yiSonto likaKristu - “usawoti nokukhanya” komhlaba — okumele kunqandwe ukuboshwa kobubi.
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
Njengoba kushiwo ekuqaleni, uPapa Benedict wabona uSimon Peter "njengedwala" lokuqala noma eliyinhloko elixhuma idamu lobubi.
Kunezinto ezimbili ezingashiwo kuleli hora lokuphathwa kwamanje. Njengoba ngivezile ku UPapa Francis uvuliwe… ngokuqinisekile ufundise zonke izici eziyinhloko ze- 
ukholo nomthetho wokuziphatha. Ngasikhathi sinye, ukuqokwa kwabeluleki abaningana abaqhubekayo, ukunikezelwa kwamandla eSonto eChina yamaKhomanisi,[3]qhathanisa UPapa Akaqondi China ukungaqondakali okukhona ku- U-Amoris Laetitia nokuxhashazwa kwalokhu, hhayi kuphela ngabantu kodwa nezingqungquthela zombhishobhi wonke,[4]qhathanisa Ukulwa Nesihe kuholele enkingeni ethile ye ukwethemba kuYise oNgcwele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amahlazo okuhlukumeza ngokocansi nokufihla okuqhubeka nokuzamazamisa iSonto futhi oseqalile ukugubuzela uFrancis uqobo, kuqhubela iSonto ekuqhekekeni.
UNkulunkulu uzovumela ububi obukhulu obumelene neBandla: izihlubuki nabashiqela bazofika ngokuzumayo nangokungalindelekile; bazongena eSontweni ngenkathi ababhishobhi, abefundisi, nabapristi belele. —UVenerable Bartholomew Holzhauser (1613-1658 AD); Ibid. ikhasi 30
Qaphela ukugcina ukholo lwakho, ngoba ngokuzayo, iSonto e-USA lizohlukaniswa neRoma. —USt. Leopold, Umphik'ukristu Nezikhathi Zokuphela, Fr. UJoseph Iannuzzi, iSt Andrew's Productions, P. 31
Ngamafuphi nje, intando yeningi kanye neSonto balahlekelwe ukwethenjwa yingxenye enkulu yabantu. Ungumhlabathi ovundile wenguquko… a Ukuvukelwa Komhlaba. Lesi yisiphithiphithi esikhulu umhlaba olungele ukudlula kuso….
Ekugcineni, ukuphulukiswa kungavela kuphela ekukholweni okujulile othandweni lukaNkulunkulu lokubuyisana. Ukuqinisa lolukholo, ukulondla nokulenza ligqame kungumsebenzi oyinhloko weSonto ngalelihora… Ngibeka lemikhuleko ekukhulekeleni kweNtombi Engcwele, uMama woMhlengi. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Ikheli Elibhekiswe Kumkhosi WaseRoma, ngoDisemba 20, 2010
Ilangabi lenkululeko lingacishwa isikhashana… kepha hhayi ithemba:
Ngizokhulula lo mhlaba ube mnyama ngenzondo futhi ungcoliswe udaka lukaSathane olunesibabule nolushisayo. Umoya onikeze impilo emiphefumulweni usuklinya futhi uyabulala. Akukho mphefumulo ofayo okufanele ulahlwe. ILangabi Lami Lothando selivele liyakhanya. Uyazi, mncane wami, abakhethiweyo kuzofanele balwe neNkosana Yobumnyama. Kuzoba isiphepho esesabekayo. Esikhundleni salokho, kuzoba yisiphepho esizofuna ukuqeda ukholo nokuzethemba kwalabo abakhethiweyo. Kulesi siphithiphithi esibi esisaqala manje, uzobona ukukhanya kweLangabi Lami Lothando likhanyisa iZulu nomhlaba ngokukhishwa komphumela wawo womusa engiwudlulisela emiphefumulweni ngalobu busuku obumnyama. -Kusukela ezambulweni ezivunyelwe zika-Our Lady kuya ku-Elizabeth Kindelmann, Amalangabi Othando Kwenhliziyo KaMariya Ongafanelwe: IDayari Yokomoya (Izindawo Zomusa 2994-2997)
