AS Ngibhale ekuzindleni kwami kweMisa kwansuku zonke namuhla (bheka lapha), Kunokwethuka kwezinye izingxenye zeSonto ezithendeni zombiko weSynod wokuxoxa ngokungaqondakali (relatio post discceptationem). Abantu bayabuza, “Benzani ababhishobhi eRoma? Wenzani uPapa? ” Kepha umbuzo wangempela uwukuthi Wenzani uMoya oNgcwele? Ngoba uMoya lowo uJesu athunyelwe kuwo “Ngikufundise lonke iqiniso. " [1]John 16: 13 UMoya ungummeli wethu, usizo lwethu, umduduzi wethu, amandla ethu, ukuhlakanipha kwethu… kepha futhi nguyena ogweba, akhanyise, abeke obala izinhliziyo zethu ukuze sibe nethuba lokujula njalo siqonde eqinisweni elisikhululayo.
Umqondisi wami wezenkolo wangicela ukuthi ngiqale ukwabelana ngemicabango ngeSinodi. Ngakho-ke, ngifuna ukuzindla ngomqondo obanzi ngokwenzekayo, ngithinte izingqikithi ezahlukahlukene engizokhuluma ngazo ikakhulukazi ezinsukwini ezizayo. Kunama-nuances amaningi kangangokuthi akunakwenzeka ukukhuluma ngawo endaweni eyodwa ngaphandle kokubhala incwadi. Ngakho-ke ngizokwenza lokhu ngokuncinza nangokubamba, futhi kaningi, ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi awunaso isikhathi sokufunda izindatshana ezinde. Kepha ngiyathandaza ukuthi uthathe imizuzu embalwa usuku ngalunye ukucabangisisa nami manje lokho uMoya akushoyo eBandleni ngalelihora, sicela iNkosi ukuba isinike ukuhlakanipha esikudingayo ukuze sithembeke ezwini laKhe.
Indawo ekahle yokuqala iVangeli lanamuhla…
Akukho lutho olufihliwe olungeke lwembulwe, noma imfihlo engazokwaziwa. Ngakho-ke noma yini oyishilo ebumnyameni izakuzwakala ekukhanyeni, futhi lokho okuhlebele ngasese kuvaliwe kuzomenyezelwa phezu kwezindlu. (Luka 12: 2-3)
ABANTU ABASEBUMNYAMA
ISinodi eyayiseRome yabizelwa ukuzokhuluma ngendlela yokubhekana nezinselelo zobufundisi ezazibhekene nomndeni kanye nabelusi ababephathiswe ukuwuqondisa. Impela, ngubani ongaboni ukuthi umndeni ungaphansi 
ubunzima obukhulu namuhla? Isehlukaniso, izidakamizwa, utshwala, izithombe zocansi, ukuvukela, ukwahlukana, imithwalo yezezimali, njll. zithinte kakhulu cishe yonke imindeni emhlabeni, ikakhulukazi emazweni aseNtshonalanga.
Ngezindlela eziningi, sifana kakhulu nabantu besikhathi sikaKristu, “Abantu abasebumnyameni.” [2]isib. Mat 4:16 Kepha hhayi imindeni kuphela… nabefundisi futhi. Futhi lokhu ngikusho ngothando, ngoba la madoda ayi shintsha uChristus, “Omunye uKristu.” Kepha nabo bangabafowethu, futhi kumele sibasize nathi ngemikhuleko nothando lwethu ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu. Sonke simbozwe ubumnyama obesabekayo obukhuphuke futhi bukhula ngaphezu kweminyaka engamakhulu ambalwa.
Ingozi ekhethekile yesikhathi esiphambi kwethu ukusabalala kwaleyo nhlupho yokungathembeki, ukuthi abaPhostoli neNkosi yethu uqobo babikezele njengenhlekelele embi kakhulu yezikhathi zokugcina zeSonto. Futhi okungenani isithunzi, isithombe esijwayelekile sezikhathi zokugcina siyeza emhlabeni jikelele. —UJohn Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890), intshumayelo yokuvula iSeminary yaseSt. Bernard, ngo-Okthoba 2, 1873, Ukungathembeki Kwesikhathi Esizayo
KwakunguPius X owabeka ngokweqiniso lokho ababengaphambi kwakhe babekade bekubona: izimpawu zalokhu kugula okwesabekayo okungokomoya okwaprofethwa nguSt. Paul:
Niyaqonda, Bazalwane Abahloniphekile, ukuthi siyini lesi sifo—ukuhlubuka okuvela kuNkulunkulu. —I-POPE ST. I-PIUS X, E Supremi, Encyclical On the Ukubuyiselwa Kwezinto Zonke kuKristu, n. 3, 5; Okthoba 4, 1903
Lowo ngumongo lapho uKhadinali Jorge Mario Bergoglio aqokwa khona njengopapa wama-265. UPapa Francis ubonakala ebona ukuthi siphila esikhathini lapho, njengoba uPapa Pius XII asho, “Isono saleli khulu leminyaka ukulahleka komuzwa wesono.” [3]Ikheli lango-1946 elibhekiswe kwi-United States Catechetical Congress Ngakho-ke, iSinodi eRome empeleni ibeka phambili umbuzo wokuthi ungabhekana kanjani nabantu / imibhangqwana ehlala esimweni esifanele isono sokubulala. Ngisho ngokusobala ngoba ukuze kwenziwe okomuntu umphefumulo ukuba sesimweni sesono esibulalayo, akumele kuphela ukuthi udaba lube lukhulu, kepha futhi kufanele lwenziwe "ngolwazi oluphelele nangokuvuma ngamabomu." [4]Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 1857
Lapha ngifaka umbuzo. Lapho iningi lemibhangqwana yamaKatolika lisebenzisa izinto zokuvimbela inzalo, lapho inani elikhulu lamaKatolika asemasha lihlala ndawonye ngaphambi komshado, lapho amanani ezehlukaniso acishe aphakeme njengemibhangqwana yezwe, futhi lapho ikhathekishi elithembekile lokuziphatha lingasekho … Banecala kangakanani abantu namuhla maqondana nokuba sesimweni se okwangempela isono esibulalayo? Babe necala elingakanani abefundisi ababunjwa 
futhi lwenziwa ezikoleni zokufundela inkululeko lapho ukholo lwemiphefumulo eminingi lwaphukelwa umkhumbi khona?
Angisho ukuthi abantu abanacala noma lokho hhayi ukuba necala ngokuphelele esonweni esikhulu akuyona inkinga enkulu yokwalusa. Cha, kunjalo ngempela the khipha lapho ucabanga kungani. (Komunye umbhalo, ngifuna ukubhekana ngqo nokuthi singakanani do siyazi lapho sisesonweni.) Ngakho-ke lapho abantu besebumnyameni obunjalo, mhlawumbe ngabe asikho ehoreni elifana nesikhathi uJesu afika ngaso okokuqala? Isikhathi lapho izimvu ezilahlekile zakwa-Israyeli zazimdinga kakhulu uMalusi Omuhle ukuze azithole? Akusona yini lesi sizathu esenza uJesu wavela kuSt Faustina, emyalela umyalezo omangalisayo ka Isihe Saphezulu ngalo kanye lelihora lalesi “sifo sokungathembeki” “nokuhlubuka”?
Esivumelwaneni Esidala ngathumela abaprofethi ababeduma ngokuduma kwabantu Bami. Namuhla ngikuthumela ngomusa Wami kubantu bomhlaba wonke. Angifuni ukujezisa isintu esibuhlungu, kodwa ngifisa ukusiphilisa, ngisicindezele kuNhliziyo Yami Enesihe. Ngisebenzisa ukujezisa lapho bona bengiphoqa ukuba ngenze njalo; Isandla sami sinqena ukubamba inkemba yezobulungiswa. Ngaphambi koSuku Lobulungiswa ngithumela uSuku Lomusa. —UJesu waya eSt. Faustina, Isihe SikaNkulunkulu Somphefumlo Wami, Idayari, n. 1588
Kepha umusa awusho ukwamukela isono, kepha kunalokho, ukuba ubuso balolu thando nesihe esonweni (futhi ngumehluko okusobala ukuthi ulahlekile kwezinye izinto zeBandla.) UPapa akakholelwa ukuthi sikhombisa lobo Buso kwanele, ngakho-ke, konke akushoyo nakwenzile kuze kube manje ukubuyisela sonke enhliziyweni yeVangeli, ukuhlangana futhi nalolo thando lukaNkulunkulu olungenamibandela futhi sibe lolo thando kwabanye.
Kepha sekuhlwile, mhlawumbe sekwephuze kakhulu. Inkemba yezobulungiswa ibonakala ilungile futhi. Kepha lapho sicabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubenele… Uvame ukusimangaza ngesihe sakhe. Ngikholwa wukuthi uzophinda futhi — noma “kungukubizwa kokugcina” esintwini ukuvusa onembeza balaba bantu ebumnyameni.
Ngabe ngiyakwazi ukuqonda ifayili le- izibonakaliso zezikhathi futhi uthembeke ezwini leNkosi elibonakaliswa kubo? Kufanele sizibuze le mibuzo namuhla bese sicela eNkosini inhliziyo ethanda umthetho - ngoba umthetho ungokaNkulunkulu - kodwa futhi othanda izimanga zikaNkulunkulu kanye nekhono lokuqonda ukuthi lo mthetho ongcwele awusona isiphetho ngokwawo. —POPE FRANCIS, Homily, Okthoba 13th, 2014; romereports.com
Ukuhlangana noNkulunkulu ukuphela. Womele… futhi ukukhombisa lo mzuzu ngokubekezela Kwakhe.
UBUMNYAMA BUZA EKUKHANYENI
Kodwa-ke, esikuzwayo kuphuma eSinodeni kwesinye isikhathi kungumusa ongafanele. Ngizobhala okuningi ngalokhu futhi. Ngasikhathi sinye, lokho uPapa Francis akucelile kwakuyizingxoxo ezikhululekile nezikhululekile. Watshela ababhishobhi:
Khuluma ngokucacile. Ungatsheli muntu, 'awukwazi ukusho lokho'… ungesabi ukungicasula. -I-Catholic Herald, Okthoba 6th, i-2014
Ngoba yilokho okwenziwa yimindeni uma isenkingeni — iyalalelana (noma-ke “inkinga yomndeni” iyajula). Ukwazi ukuthi unababhishobhi "abakhululekile" futhi "ababambelele", uPapa uvule phansi ukuze umoya wobumbano futhi ubumbano ngethemba lungaqala ukuqeda ukungezwani okubabayo okukhona futhi kuhambise ububhishobhi, ngaleyo ndlela iSonto lonke, lubheke ebunyeni obukhulu.
Emlindelweni womkhuleko ngaphambi kokuvulwa kweSinodi, uPapa wenza lo mthandazo:
Ngaphandle kokulalela, sicela ukuvuleleka engxoxweni eqotho, evulekile futhi enobuzalwane, okusiholela ekuphatheni umthwalo wemfanelo wobufundisi imibuzo lolu shintsho ku-Epoch luletha. Siyakuvumela ukuba kubuyele ezinhliziyweni zethu, ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa ukuthula, kodwa ngokuthembela okuqinile okuyisikhathi sayo iNkosi engeke yehluleke ukuletha ubunye…
Sengathi umoya wePentekoste ungavunguza emsebenzini weSinodi, eSontweni, nakuso sonke isintu. Hlehlisa amafindo avimbela abantu ukuthi bahlangane, welaphe amanxeba aphuma igazi, uvuselele ithemba. - UPAPA UFRANCIS, Umkhuleko Womsakazo, Umsakazo weVatican, Okthoba 5, 2014; luwoho.info
Ngabe iSinodi yitulo lokucekela phansi iSonto noma yithuba lokuhlola izindlela zethu zokwelusa phakathi kwesiko lokufa? Ngabe kuyisisekelo sokuguqula iSonto libe "isibhedlela esisebenza ngokwengeziwe"? Kunemibono eminingi yokuthi ungakwenza kanjani lokhu, ngakho-ke akumele kumangaze noma ngubani ukuthi ezinye izethulo zeSynodal bezisuselwe kwezenkolo ngomoya wokuxoxisana okuvulekile nokuhlola.
Kodwa-ke, ngingangeza, bekukhungathekisa ukuthi kungani okuqukethwe yilokhu 
izingxoxo zidalulwe emphakathini akuhlungiwe. Imuphi umndeni osakaza “izingxoxo zomndeni” zawo zangaphakathi komakhelwane bawo? Kepha lokhu yikho kanye okwenziwe, ekudidekeni koFata abaningi beSinodi. Inkinga yile: abezindaba abayilindi imiyalo yabaphostoli. Babheka “ukuvuza”, inhlebo enamanzi, ukungasebenzi kahle, ukwahlukana… futhi umbiko wakamuva weSinodi unikeze lawo mathuba ngoqwembe.
… Umyalezo uphumile: Nakhu okushiwo yisinodi, yilokhu okushiwo yiSonto LamaKhatholika. Akunandaba ukuthi sizama kanjani ukukuqondisa lokho, noma yini esiyisho ngemuva kwalokhu kuzoba sengathi senza ukulawulwa komonakalo. —UKhadinali Wilfrid Napier, LifeSiteNews.com, Okthoba 15, 2014
Noma ngabe kuhlosiwe noma cha, abantu sebeqalile ecabanga ukuthi iSonto liguqule isikhundla salo. Ayikho iSinodi noPapa, kodwa, ababhale kabusha uhlamvu olulodwa lomthetho, ingasaphathwa eyokushintsha noma iyiphi imikhuba yokwalusa. Futhi uma bezokwenza, bekuzoba yisikhathi eside esizayo okwamanje. Ngakho-ke ukwethuka ngalesi sikhathi akusikho ngokuphelele. Ukukhungatheka akunjalo.
Akunandaba-futhi kufanele sikunake lokhu - okwenzekayo manje ukuthi iSinod isebenza njengokuthi ngesihlungo. Sekuqala ukudalula lapho okhadinali, ababhishobhi, abapristi nabantu abavamile ngokufanayo beme ekukholweni okungaguquki nasekuziphatheni kobuKatolika. Kwembula, mhlawumbe, amagatsha amahle namabi ngaphambi kokuthena. Kudalula ukwesaba nokwethembeka kwabantu abavamile. Kwembula ekugcineni ukuthi ngubani wethu othembele kuKristu kanye nesithembiso saKhe sokuhlala neSonto Lakhe “kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi.” [5]I-Matt 28: 20 Akukho okufihliwe okungeke kudalulwe. Konke obekufihliwe ebumnyameni kuyeza ekukhanyeni.
Futhi lokho, ngiyakholwa, yilokho okwenziwa nguMoya.
Ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale ngendlu kaNkulunkulu; uma kuqala ngathi, kuzophela kanjani kulabo abahluleka ukulalela ivangeli likaNkulunkulu? (1 Petru 4:17)
