Ishicilelwe okokuqala ngoMashi 25, 2010.
FOR amashumi eminyaka manje, njengoba ngiphawulile Lapho uMbuso Ujezisa Ukuhlukunyezwa Kwezingane, AmaKatolika kuye kwadingeka akhuthazelele ukusakazwa okungapheli kwezihloko zezindaba ezimemezela amahlazo ngemuva kwehlazo lobupristi. “UmPristi Usolwa Nge…”, “Vala Up”, “Umhlukumezi Ususwe Kusuka EPherishi Kuya EPherishi…” njalo njalo. Kubuhlungu, hhayi kuphela kulabo abathembekile, kepha nakwabanye abapristi. Kuwukusetshenziswa kabi kwamandla okunje okuvela endodeni ngomuntu Christi—ku umuntu kaKristu- lowo uvame ukushiywa ethule emangele, ezama ukuqonda ukuthi lokhu akuyona nje into engajwayelekile lapha nalaphaya, kodwa yemvamisa enkulu kakhulu kunalokho obekucatshangwa kuqala.
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
IZISEKO ZILAHLEKILE
Ngicabanga ukuthi izizathu ziningi. Ngokuyisisekelo, kungukungqubuzana nenqubo yokwamukelwa kwabafundi kuphela, kepha nokuqukethwe lapho kufundiswa khona. ISonto belimatasa kakhulu lakha izazi zenkolo kunabangcwele; amadoda angakwazi ukuqonda ngaphezu kokuthandaza; abaholi abangabaphathi ngaphezu kwabaphostoli. Lesi akusona isahlulelo, kodwa iqiniso elihlosiwe. Abapristi abaningana bangitshele ukuthi ekwakhekeni kwabo kwabefundisi, kwakungekho ukugcizelelwa okungokomoya. Kepha sona kanye isisekelo sempilo yobuKrestu Ukuguqulwa nenqubo ye Ingucuko! Ngenkathi ulwazi ludingeka ukuze "ugqoke umqondo kaKristu" (Phil 2: 5), kukodwa akwanele.
Ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu awukhulumi ngenkulumo kepha ungamandla. (1 Kor 4:20)
Amandla okusikhulula esonweni; amandla okuguqula isimo sethu esiphansi; amandla okukhipha amadimoni; amandla okwenza izimangaliso; amandla okuguqula isinkwa newayini kube uMzimba neGazi likaKristu; amandla okukhuluma iZwi lakhe nokuletha ukuguqulwa kwalabo abalizwayo. Kodwa emaseminari amaningi, abapristi babefundiswa ukuthi ukukhuluma ngesono kuphelelwe yisikhathi; lolo shintsho alukho ekuguqulweni komuntu siqu kodwa kulingo lwezenkolo nolwezenkolo; ukuthi uSathane akayena umuntu oyingelosi, kodwa ungumqondo ongokomfanekiso; ukuthi izimangaliso zaphela eTestamenteni Elisha (futhi mhlawumbe kwakungezona izimangaliso emva kwakho konke); ukuthi iMisa imayelana nabantu, hhayi uMhlatshelo Ongcwele; ukuthi imindeni kufanele ibe yizivumelwano ezimnandi kunokuba izingcingo zokuguqulwa… nokuqhubeka nokuqhubeka.
Futhi kwenye indawo kukho konke, ukwenqaba ukunamathela I-Humanae Vitae, imfundiso ejulile ngeqhaza lobulili bomuntu ezweni lanamuhla, kubonakala ihambisana nesikhukhula sobungqingili ebupristini. Kanjani? Uma amaKhatholika ayekhuthazwa ukuthi "alandele onembeza bawo" endabeni yokulawulwa kokuzalwa (bona O Canada… Ukuphi?), kungani abefundisi bengakwazanga ukulandela onembeza babo maqondana nemizimba yabo? Ukuziphatha ngendlela efanele kuye kwadla umnyombo weSonto… intuthu kaSathane iqhamuka ezifundweni zokufundela, ezifundeni, ngisho naseVatican, kusho uPaul VI.
ISICELO
Futhi-ke, i-anti-clericalism ifinyelela izinga eliphikisayo emhlabeni wethu. Bengakunaki iqiniso lokuthi ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi akuyona inkinga yamaKhatholika, kepha kudlangile emhlabeni wonke, abaningi basebenzisa amaphesenti amancane uma kuqhathaniswa okuhlukumeza abefundisi njengesaba sokwenqaba lonke iSonto. AmaKatolika asebenzise amahlazo njengezaba zokuyeka ukuya eMiseni noma ukunciphisa noma ukuzikhulula ezimfundisweni zeSonto. Abanye basebenzise amahlazo njengendlela yokupenda ubuKhatholika njengobubi baze bahlasele noBaba Ongcwele uqobo (sengathi uPapa ubhekene nezono zawo wonke umuntu.)
Kepha lezi izaba. Lapho ngamunye wethu emi phambi koMdali lapho sesidlulile kule mpilo, uNkulunkulu akazukubuza, “Ngakho-ke, bekunobapristi obaziyo onondindwa ababaziyo?” Kunalokho, uzokwembula ukuthi uphendule kanjani ezikhathini zomusa namathuba osindiso awanikeze phakathi kwazo zonke izinyembezi nenjabulo, uvivinyo nokunqoba empilweni yakho. Isono somunye akusona neze isizathu sezono zethu, ngenxa yezenzo ezinqunywe ngentando yethu yokuzikhethela.
Iqiniso ukuthi iSonto lihlala lingumzimba kaKristu ongaqondakali, isakramente elibonakalayo lokusindiswa komhlaba… lilimele noma cha.
ISKHALI SESIPHAMBANO
Ngesikhathi uJesu ebanjwa ensimini; ngenkathi ehlulwa futhi eshaywa; ngenkathi enikezwa isiphambano asithwala asilenga phezu kwaso… Wayeyihlazo kulabo abamlandelayo. Lokhu unguMesiya wethu? Akunakwenzeka! Ngisho ukukholwa koMphostoli kwaduma. Bahlakazeka engadini, futhi munye kuphela owabuya wazobuka “ithemba elibethelwe.”
Kunjalo nanamuhla: umzimba kaKristu, iSonto Lakhe, umbozwe yihlazo lamanxeba amaningi-wezono zamalungu alo ngamanye. Ikhanda liphinde lagubuzelwa yihlazo lomqhele wameva… umucu ominyene wemigoqo eyisono ehlaba ijule ngaphakathi enhliziyweni yobupristi, izisekelo uqobo “zomqondo kaKristu”: igunya lakhe lokufundisa nokwethembeka. Izinyawo ziphinde zihlatshwe — okungukuthi, imiyalo yakhe engcwele, eyake yaba mihle futhi yaqina ngezithunywa zevangeli, izindelakazi, nabapristi ababedliwe ukuhambisa iVangeli ezizweni… bakhubazekile futhi basuswa ngenxa yesimanjemanje kanye nokuhlubuka. Futhi izingalo nezandla — labo bantu besilisa nabesifazane abenza ngesibindi ukwenza uJesu abekhona emindenini yabo nasemakethe… sebebuthaka futhi abangaphili ngokuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo nokunganaki.
Umzimba kaKristu uwonke ubonakala njengehlazo phambi komhlaba odinga insindiso.
UZOKWAZI?
Manje… nawe uzogijima? Ingabe uzobalekela Insimu Yosizi? Ngabe uzoyilahla iNdlela Yendida? Ngabe uzokwala iCalvary of Contradiction njengoba ubuka umzimba kaKristu futhi ogcwele amanxeba ahlazisayo?
… Noma uzohamba ngokukholwa kunokubona? Ngabe uzobona iqiniso lokuthi, ngaphansi kwalo mzimba oshaywe kulele i- inhliziyo: Eyodwa, Ngcwele, Katolika, nePhostoli Inhliziyo eqhubeka nokushaya isigqi sothando neqiniso; inhliziyo eqhubeka nokumpompa uMusa omsulwa emalungwini ayo ngamaSakramente aNgcwele; inhliziyo ethi, nakuba incane ngokubukeka, ihlangene noNkulunkulu ongenamkhawulo?
Ngabe uzogijima, noma uzojoyina isandla sikaMama wakho kulelihora losizi bese uphinda i-fiat yobhapathizo lwakho?
Ngabe uzohlala phakathi kwabahleki usulu, imibhikisho nokuhlekwa usulu okunqwabelene kulo mzimba?
Ngabe uzohlala lapho bekushushisa ngenxa yokwethembeka kwakho Esiphambanweni, okuwubuwula “kulabo ababhubhayo, kodwa kithina esisindiswayo, amandla kaNkulunkulu”? (1 Kor 1:18).
Ingabe uzohlala?
Uzokwazi?
… Siphile ngokukholwa okujulile kokuthi iNkosi ayililahli iBandla layo, noma isikebhe sesithathe amanzi amaningi kakhulu asezonqamuka. —EMERITUS POPE BENEDICT XVI, ngesikhathi seMisa lomngcwabo likaKhadinali uJoachim Meisner, ngoJulayi 15, 2017; mduduzi.blogspot.com
