KUPHELA ekuqaleni kwesikhundla sakhe sobupapa, lapho enqaba ubukhazikhazi obuvame ukuhambisana nehhovisi likapapa, uFrancis akazange ahluleke ukudala impikiswano. Ngokuxoxa, uBaba oNgcwele uzame ngamabomu ukulingisa uhlobo olwehlukile lobupristi eBandleni nasemhlabeni jikelele: ubupristi obunokwelusa kakhulu, obunesihawu, futhi obungesabi ukuhamba phakathi kwemiphetho yomphakathi ukuthola imvu elahlekile. Ngokwenza njalo, akazange anqikaze ukukhuza kanzima abahlanganyeli bakhe futhi asongele izindawo zokunethezeka zamaKatolika "agcina". Futhi lokhu kuthokoziswe abefundisi besimanjemanje kanye nabezindaba ezikhululekile abathi uPapa Francis "ushintsha" iSonto ukuba "lamukele" kakhulu izitabane kanye nabobulili obufanayo, abahlukanisile, amaProthestani, njll. ^[1]isb. Vanity Fair, Ngo-Ephreli 8th, i-2016 Ukukhuza kukaPapa ngakwesokunene, kuhambisana nokucabanga kwesobunxele, kuholele ekuqhamukeni kwentukuthelo enkulu nokumangalelwa kuMmeli kaKristu ukuthi uzama ukuguqula iminyaka eyi-2000 yeSiko Elingcwele. Imithombo yezindaba yama-Orthodox, efana neLifeSiteNews ne-EWTN, ibuze ngokungagunci ukwahlulela kukaBaba oNgcwele nomqondo ngezitatimende ezithile. Futhi ziningi izincwadi engizitholile ezivela kubantu abavamile nabefundisi ngokufanayo abacasulwa indlela kaPapa ethambile yempi yesiko.

Ngakho-ke umbuzo okumele siwubuze futhi siwuphendule ngokucophelela njengoba loNyaka Womusa uqala ukuphela, ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba yiSonto “elamukela” ngokwengeziwe, futhi ingabe uFrancis uhlose ukushintsha imfundiso yeSonto?

Ngaphambi kokuthi ngengeze noma yikuphi ukuphawula, ake ngiqale ngokusho, ngamazwi akhe, ukuthi uyini umbono kaPapa ngalelihora…

 

UMBONO WEPAPA

Indlela yamasu kaPapa Francis empeleni ayimangazi. Enkulumweni yakhe yokubonisana nabanye abefundisi ngaphambi nje kokhetho lwakhe, uKhadinali Jorge Bergoglio wakhombisa ngqo uhlobo lopapa ayekholelwa ukuthi luyadingeka ngalesi sikhathi:

Ukushumayela ivangeli kusho ukuthi isifiso eBandleni sivela kuye uqobo. ISonto libizelwe ukuthi liphume kuye futhi liye emaphethelweni hhayi kuphela ngomqondo wokuma kwezwe kepha nakwizinto ezikhona: lezo zemfihlakalo yesono, yezinhlungu, yokungabi nabulungisa, yokungazi, yokwenza ngaphandle kwenkolo, yomcabango nakulo lonke usizi. Lapho iSonto lingaphumi kuye ukuzoshumayela ivangeli, uyazimela bese uyagula… ISonto elizimele ligcina uJesu Kristu ngaphakathi kuye futhi alimvumeli aphume… Ecabanga ngoPapa olandelayo, kumele indoda evela ekucabangeni nasekukhulekeleni uJesu Kristu, esiza iSonto ukuthi liphume lize ezindaweni ezikhona, lokho kumsiza ukuba abe ngumama othelayo ophila enjabulweni emnandi futhi eduduzayo yokushumayela ivangeli. -I-Salt and Light Magazine, ikhasi. 8, Ukukhishwa 4, uHlelo Olukhethekile, 2013

Ngokusobala, oKhadinali ayekanye nabo bavuma, bakhetha le ndoda njengopapa wama-266. Umlandeli kaPeter akachithanga sikhathi wadweba isithombe salokho ayezizwa eyinhloso yeSonto ngalelihora:

Ngibona ngokusobala ukuthi into iSonto eliyidinga kakhulu namuhla ukukwazi ukupholisa amanxeba nokufudumeza izinhliziyo zabathembekile; idinga ukusondela, ukusondela. Ngibona iSonto njengesibhedlela sasensimini ngemuva kwempi. Akusizi ngalutho ukubuza umuntu olimale kabi ukuthi une-cholesterol ephezulu yini nokuthi unjani ngezinga likashukela egazini lakhe! Kumele umelaphe amanxeba. Ngemuva kwalokho singaxoxa ngakho konke okunye. Philisa amanxeba, upholise amanxeba…. Futhi kufanele uqale phansi phansi. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, uxoxisana ne-AmericaMagazine.com, ngoSepthemba 30, 2013

Ngakho-ke, kwi-Apostolic Exhortation yakhe yokuqala, uPapa Francis waqala ukwembula ngokusobala ukuthi “isibhedlela esinjena” kufanele siphathwe kanjani. Ukuphola kwamanxeba, uthe, kuqala ngeSonto, hhayi isoni, sithatha 'isinyathelo sokuqala':

ISonto "eliphumayo" liwumphakathi wabafundi bezithunywa zevangeli abathatha isinyathelo sokuqala, ababandakanyekayo futhi abasekelayo, abathela izithelo futhi bajabule. Umphakathi ovangela ivangeli uyazi ukuthi iNkosi ithathe isinyathelo, isithandile kuqala (bhekisa 1 Jn 4:19), ngakho-ke singaya phambili, ngesibindi sithathe isinyathelo, siphume siye kwabanye, sifune labo abaphambukile, sime ezimpambanweni zomgwaqo samukele oxoshiwe. Umphakathi onjalo unesifiso esingapheli sokubonisa isihe, isithelo sesipiliyoni sawo samandla omusa ongapheli kaBaba. -U-Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 24

Ngenxa yobufushane, ake ngingeze okunye ukuqonda okuvela ekukhuthazeni kwabaphostoli abangcwele bePost-Synodal Apostolic. U-Amoris Laetitia, efuna iSonto nge…

… Indlela eyelusayo eyamukelekayo nekwaziyo ukusiza imibhangqwana ukuba ikhule ekwaziseni izidingo zeVangeli. Kodwa-ke besivame ukuzivikela, simoshe amandla okwelusa ngokugxeka umhlaba owonakele ngaphandle kokuthatha isinyathelo sokuphakamisa izindlela zokuthola injabulo yangempela. Abantu abaningi banomuzwa wokuthi umyalezo weSonto ngomshado nomndeni awukhombisi ngokusobala ukushumayela nesimo sengqondo sikaJesu, owabeka umbono onzima kodwa ongakaze ahluleke ukukhombisa ububele nokusondela ebuthakathakeni babantu abanjengowesifazane waseSamariya noma owesifazane obanjiwe ekuphingeni. -U-Amoris Laetitia,n. 38

 

UMBONO KAKRISTU

Ngakho-ke, sinikezwe umbono wokuthi ophethe izihluthulelo zoKhiye njengamanje ubaluleke kangakanani kulesi sikhathi. Isihluthulelo sokuhumusha lo mbono, noma kunjalo, akusikho ukuxoxisana okwenziwa ngopapa ngendiza, izinkulumo ezingasetshenziswanga, ukubizwa kwezingcingo, izingqikithi zomagazini ezingabhalwanga, noma ukuphawula okuzenzekelayo ngesikhathi somndeni. Kunalokho, njengoba uKhadinali Burke asho ngokufanele:

Ukhiye okuwukuphela kwencazelo eyiyo ye- U-Amoris Laetitia [nezinye izitatimende zikapapa] imfundiso engaguquguquki yeSonto nokuziphatha kwalo okuvikela futhi kukhuthaze le mfundiso. —UKhadinali Raymond Burke, Ukubhaliswa KwamaKatolika Kazwelonke, Ephreli 12, 2016; nsibhabalo

Futhi-ke lesi sizathu, esichazwe ngokucacile eminyakeni eyi-2000 eyedlule nguSt.

Uma noma ngubani eshumayela kuwe ivangeli elihlukile kunalelo olamukele, makabe ngoqalekisiweyo! (Gal 1: 9)

Ngakho-ke, inhloso yalokhu kuzindla ukukwenza kucace ngokuphelele kumfundi ukuthi yini eyi- kuphela Incazelo engenzeka yokuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba yiSonto “elamukela” ngokwengeziwe.

Lapho uPapa Francis ekhuluma ngokufinyelela “emaphethelweni” esintu, 'lawo emfihlakalo yesono, yezinhlungu, yokungabi nabulungiswa, yokungazi, yokwenza ngaphandle kwenkolo, yomcabango nangalo lonke usizi, "lapha ukhuluma, ngandlela-thile, sonke. Ngoba ngubani kithi ongathintwa yisono sakhe, ubuhlungu, ukungazi nosizi lwakhe? Kepha ubuye akhombe ngokunemba “isimo” somphefumulo womhlaba kulelihora: leso esikindiki emqondweni wesono, ngakho-ke sigxile ekujuleni kwesono. Izwe elilahle cishe konke ukuzibamba ngakho-ke livuna usizi lwesono sokufa, lokho kufa komoya okuyisilonda esikhulu somuntu wanamuhla.

Ake ngibuze: uma wenze isono, yini oyilangazelelayo ngaleso sikhathi lapho uzishaya khona, uzibeka icala, uzishaye futhi uzilahle? Ngabe igama elinokhahlo… noma igama lesihe? Yini ekuphilisa kakhulu ekuvumeni izono? Ukuthethiswa ngumpristi — noma ukuzwa ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyakuthanda, namanje?

Lokhu kusho uPope Francis lapho ethi sidinga ukupholisa amanxeba kuqala: kusho ukupholisa isilonda esivulekile secala nokulahlwa.

… U-Adamu nomkakhe bazifihla eNkosini uNkulunkulu phakathi kwemithi yensimu… [u-Adam] waphendula wathi, “Ngikuzwile ensimini; kepha ngesaba, ngokuba ngihamba ze, ngacasha. ” (UGenesise 3: 8, 10)

UBaba usipholise kanjani lesi silonda se ukwesaba esintwini? Wathumela iNdodana Yakhe uJesu Krestu ukusibekela ubunqunu bethu isihe:

Ngoba uNkulunkulu akazange athumele iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni ukuba yahlulele umhlaba, kodwa ukuze izwe lisindiswe ngayo… Labo abaphilile abadingi udokotela, kodwa abagulayo bayamdinga. Angizelanga ukubiza abalungileyo kepha izoni…. Ngumuphi umuntu phakathi kwenu onezimvu eziyikhulu, alahlekelwe enye kuzo ongashiyi ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye ehlane, alandele leyo elahlekileyo, aze ayithole? (Johane 3:17, Mar 2:17, Luka 15: 4)

Futhi-ke, indlela yokwalusa inayo kakade ibekiwe. UJesu usinikeze isibonelo esiyinhloko sokushunyayelwa kwevangeli, lokuthi iSonto kufanele libukeke kanjani kuyo yonke indawo futhi ngaso sonke isikhathi:

Noma ngubani othi uhlala kuye kufanele aphile njengaye. (1 Johane 2: 6)

UFrancis ubiza wonke amaKhatholika ukuba abe omunye uKristu emsebenzini, ezimakethe, ezikoleni nasemakhaya. Usibizela ukukhombisa isihe nothando lukaKristu kulabo abadinga kakhulu isihe nothando lukaKristu. Isibonelo uPapa azisho ngaso ngowesifazane waseSamariya emthonjeni.

 

UKUHAMBA NESONI

Wayengowesifazane owayehlala esimweni sokuphinga. Ngenkathi uKrestu ehlangana naye emthonjeni, kwenzeka izinto ezimbili ezibalulekile ngaphambi kokuba isihloko sesimo sakhe sesono size phambili. Esokuqala ukuthi UJesu umcela ukuthi amphe amanzi. Lesi yisifundo esijulile kulawo maKristu 'agwema' izoni ngokuqondile ngoba bayizoni. Kukangaki amaqembu ethu omkhuleko, amakilabhu ama-bible, izinhlangano zamasonto, kanye nezifunda uqobo ziba yindawo efudumele kuphela kwabangcwele? Kukangaki sithandela kwamanye amaKristu ngenkathi sigwema abalingiswa ababa namandla? Kukangaki sihambahamba sonakala kwabampofu, kwabampofu, nasekukhathazekeni ukuze singazihluphi? KuJesu, lesisimo asiqondakali futhi siyaphikisana nomsebenzi Wakhe, manje osethu: Labo abaphilile abasidingi isibhedlela sasensimini — abagulayo bayasidinga! Kungani-ke ushiya eceleni kwendlela leyo miphefumulo empofu eshaywe futhi yabanjwa inkunzi nguSathane, umchithi wemiphefumulo? Umbuzo uthi kithina esazi uKristu, abathi bangabalandeli Bakhe. Futhi-ke, uPapa Francis unyakazise iSonto ezindaweni eziningi, edalula labo abacashe ngemuva kweqabunga lomkhiwane lezindawo zabo zokunethezeka. Kungani? Uphendule ukuthi kungani ngenkathi evula iminyango yeSt. Peter's Basilica ememezela "Unyaka Wesihe" ngenkathi ecaphuna iSt. Faustina. Ngoba uFrancis wazi kahle, njengoba iNkosi yethu yembulela uFaustina, ukuthi siphila “esikhathini somusa” esizophela. ^[2]qhathanisa Ukuvula Banzi Iminyango Yomusa

Okwesibili okubalulekile okwenzeka emthonjeni ukuthi uJesu uqhubeka nokuyenga owesifazane waseSamariya ukuthi abheke ngale kwesikhashana, adlule izifiso zakhe zokuzijabulisa futhi omele into enkulu: “amanzi aphilayo”, okuwukuphila Umoya.

Lapho singena ngokwesaba ezinhliziyweni zabanye futhi sibembulela injabulo nokuthula okudlula konke ukuqonda ngokumane sibonise injabulo yethu elula, kuzokwenzeka izinto ezimbili: abanye bazokomela lokho esinakho, noma bazosenqaba. Ngicabanga ukuthi isizathu esenza ukuthi amanye amaKristu acasulwe yibizo likaPapa Francis lokuhamba nezitabane nabobulili obufanayo, abahlukanisile nokunye okunjalo ukuthi ubalahlile ukuthi abanayo injabulo noma ukuthula kweNkosi! Futhi-ke, kwabanye, kulula kakhulu ukufihla ngemuva kwemfundiso, ngemuva kodonga lwabaxolisayo, kunokuba unikeze ubufakazi obuphilayo beVangeli elingabalahlekisela idumela labo, uma kungenjalo impilo yabo.

Ubumnene bukaJesu bavuma, okokuqala, isithunzi sowesifazane waseSamariya. Akazange ambheke njengesibungu esinesono, kunalokho, njengowesifazane owadalwa ngomfanekiso Wakhe enamandla okuthanda ngothando Lwakhe. Leli themba, leli ithemba laphezulu lokho kwamuqhubela esiphambanweni ngenxa yakhe (neyethu), yikho okwashukumisa inhliziyo yalo wesifazane ukufuna okuphakade. Uthando nomusa wakhe kuyena kwavula inhliziyo yakhe futhi welapha inxeba elikhulu lokwaliwa ayenalo ngaphakathi kwakhe… kwase kuthi… bese ekulungele ukwamukela umuthi weqiniso ozomkhulula. Njengoba eshilo kuye:

UNkulunkulu unguMoya, futhi labo abamkhonzayo kufanele bakhonze ngoMoya nangeqiniso. (Johane 4:24)

 

UKUKHULULWA KWEQINISO

UPapa Francis, njengoKristu, ukhethe hhayi ukugcizelela isono, okhethwe hhayi ukuthi, 'ngamazwi' akhe, 'azivikele, amoshe amandla okwelusa asola umhlaba owonakele ngaphandle kokuma ngenkuthalo ekuphakamiseni izindlela zokuthola injabulo yangempela.' Ingabe le ndlela efanele ngalesi sikhathi, lapho impi yamasiko isiba nobutha obengeziwe ebuKristwini? Njengoba uPapa Benedict aphawula, “ukuvumelana kokuziphatha” okuye kwenza amazwe enza izinto zomphakathi futhi zayala kuyawa nxazonke zethu. Akuyona into encane:

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; isib. Ngosuku luka-Eva

Lapho uJesu eba ngumuntu futhi ehamba phakathi kwethu, uMathewu uthi iNkosi yeza “Abantu abahleli ebumnyameni.” ^[3]I-Matt 4: 16 Ingabe izinhliziyo zabantu ukuthi ehluke kakhulu? UKristu weza njengokukhanya emhlabeni. Lokho kukhanya kwakwenziwe ngesibonelo Sakhe kanye nokufundisa Kwakhe. Manje, uphendukela kithi athi, “Nina ningukukhanya kwezwe”^[4]I-Matt 5: 14—Ngokwesibonelo nokufundisa kwakho. 

Ngakho-ke, ukwamukela izoni esifubeni seSonto akusikho ukunciphisa isono. Isizathu sokugula kwabo kungenxa yesono! Kepha uJesu usikhombisa ukuthi indlela eya enhliziyweni yesoni, ngomqondo ongokomfanekiso, ukuba ubuso bothando ngabo — hhayi isifihla sokulahlwa. Futhi ngakho-ke uPapa Francis unxusa abathembekile ukuthi baphulukise lelo nxeba lokwenqatshwa kuqala:

Kumele umelaphe amanxeba. Bese-ke singakhuluma ngakho konke okunye… ISonto kwesinye isikhathi liye lazivalela ezintweni ezincane, emithethweni enomqondo omncane. Into ebaluleke kakhulu isimemezelo sokuqala: UJesu Kristu ukusindisile. —UPAPA UFRANCIS, uxoxisana ne-AmericaMagazine.com, ngoSepthemba 30, 2013

Ngemuva kwalokho singaxoxa ngakho konke okunye. Lokho kungukuthi, lapho-ke singafundisa amaqiniso asindisayo ezinkolelo zethu kumaSakramente, emshadweni nasekuziphatheni. Futhi le yindlela kaJesu emthonjeni ephindwe kathathu: ubekhona komunye, kube ukukhanya kubo, bese ubafundise uma bomele iqiniso. UJesu wathi, ngokusobala: iqiniso lizokukhulula. Ngakho-ke, inhloso yeSonto akukona nje ukwenza abantu bazizwe bamukelekile, sengathi ukuhlangana ndawonye ngomoya wobudlelwano kuyinjongo yethu enkulu. Cha, uJesu wathi umgomo:

… Nenze izizwe zonke abafundi, nibabhapathize egameni likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele, nibafundise ukugcina konke enginiyale ngakho. (Math 18: 19-20)

Ubhapathizo luyinto engokoqobo nengokomoya wokuwasha kude nesono. Ngakhoke, enhliziyweni yomsebenzi weSonto kuhola isoni empilweni yesono kungene ezimfundisweni zikaJesu okuyizo zodwa ezizosenza abafundi baKhe. Ngakho-ke, uPapa Francis washo ngokusobala:

… Indlela eyelusayo yokwamukela nokwamukela [iyakwazi] ukusiza imibhangqwana ukuba ikhule ekwaziseni izidingo zeVangeli. -U-Amoris Laetitia,n. 38

Izidingo zeVangeli ukuphenduka esonweni nokuhambisana nentando kaNkulunkulu, okungumthombo wenjabulo nokuthula nokulinganisela, njengoba nje umhlaba uhlala uthela futhi unikeza impilo "ngokulalela" imithetho yamandla adonsela phansi ewugcina i-orbit ephelele ezungeze ilanga.

 

IBANDLA LOKWAMUKELA, LIHLALELE

Ekuphetheni, “ukwamukela” abanye eSontweni ukwazisa ngomusa wakho, ukuhlonipha isithunzi somunye, nokuzimisela ukuba khona, amandla nokuba khona kukaJesu. Ngale ndlela, izifunda zethu zingaba “umphakathi wemiphakathi.” ^[5]U-Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 28 Lokhu kungenzeka kuphela uma thina uqobo ukwazi UJesu futhi wathintwa umusa waKhe - isithelo se- Umthandazo nokuvama kwe AmaSakramente. Njengoba uFrancis asho, 'kususelwa ekucabangeni nasekukhulekelweni kukaJesu Kristu [okusiza] iSonto ukuba lize ezindaweni ezikhona.' ^[6]I-Salt and Light Magazine, ikhasi. 8, Ukukhishwa 4, uHlelo Olukhethekile, 2013

Noma kunjalo, noma ngabe sinemfudumalo futhi samukela, kuzohlala kukhona labo abenqaba izidingo zeVangeli. Lokho wukuthi, "ukwamukelwa" kwethu kunemikhawulo echazwe ngentando yokuzikhethela yomunye.

Yize kuzwakala kusobala, ukupheleliswa ngokomoya kumele kuholele abanye eduze kakhulu noNkulunkulu, esithola kuye inkululeko yangempela. Abanye abantu bacabanga ukuthi bakhululekile uma bengamgwema uNkulunkulu; bayehluleka ukubona ukuthi bahlala beyizintandane, bengenakuzisiza, bengenamakhaya. Bayayeka ukuba ngabahambeli beze futhi babe ama-drifters, bazishaye bangene futhi bangayi ndawo. Ukuhamba nabo kungaba nomphumela ongemuhle uma kungaba uhlobo oluthile lokwelashwa olusekela ukuzithathela kwabo futhi luyeke ukuba uhambo oluya noKristu kuYise. —I-POPE FRANCIS, U-Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 170

UJesu wayecacile ngalokhu. IBandla, eliwumbuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, liyisiphephelo sezoni — kodwa kuphela lezo zoni ezibeka ithemba lazo emseni kaNkulunkulu, zibuyisana noBaba ngeNdodana, zimvumela ukuba azembathise ingubo entsha, izimbadada ezintsha, nendandatho yobudodana ukuze bahlale etafuleni leWundlu. ^[7]isib. ULuka 15:22 Ngoba iBandla lasungulwa nguKristu hhayi ukwamukela izoni kuphela, kodwa nokuzihlenga.

Ngenkathi inkosi ingena ukuhlangabeza izivakashi yabona indoda lapho eyayingagqokile ingubo yomshado. Yathi kuye, 'Mngane wami, ungene kanjani lapha ungembethe ingubo yomshado?' Kepha wehliswa wathula. Inkosi yasisithi ezincekwini zayo: 'Mbopheni izandla nezinyawo, nimphonse ebumnyameni obungaphandle, lapho kuyakuba khona ukukhala nokugedla kwamazinyo.' Baningi abamenyiwe, kodwa bambalwa abakhethiwe. (Math 22: 11-14)
