Lokhu bekungelona ukhetho. Kwakuyinguquko ... Phakathi kwamabili kudlulile. Usuku olusha selufikile. Futhi konke sekuzoshintsha.
-UDaniel Greenfield ovela ku- "America Rising", Novemba 9th, 2016; Ukulele-media.com
OR ingabe sesizoshintsha, futhi sibe ngcono?
AmaKrestu amaningi e-United States ayabungaza namuhla, egubha sengathi “phakathi kwamabili kudlulile” futhi usuku olusha selufikile. Ngithandaza ngenhliziyo yami yonke ukuthi, eMelika okungenani, lokhu kuzoba yiqiniso. Ukuthi izimpande zobuKristu zalesosizwe zizoba nethuba lokuchuma futhi. Lokho konke abesifazane bazohlonishwa, kubandakanya nalabo abasesibelethweni. Leyo nkululeko yenkolo izobuyiselwa, nokuthi ukuthula kuyogcwalisa imingcele yayo.
Kepha ngaphandle kukaJesu Kristu neVangeli lakhe njenge umthombo yenkululeko yezwe, kuzoba ukuthula kwamanga nokulondeka okungamanga.
Njengabahlaziyi bezepolitiki futhi bevuselela ukhetho lwaseMelika, ngithandazela ukuthi sibe nokuhlakanipha kokubona isithombe esikhulu esivelayo emhlabeni wethu. Kufanele sibuyele emuva, ngisho nangaphezulu kwesizukulwane sethu, ukuze siqonde ukuthi kwenzekani ngalesi sikhathi. A umoya wamavukelambuso ukhishwe, futhi ubenesikhathi esithile. Njengoba uPhapha Leo XIII asho, ...
… Umoya wenguquko osekuyisikhathi eside uphazamisa izizwe zomhlaba… abekho abambalwa abagcwele izimiso ezimbi futhi abazimisele ngoshintsho lwezinguquko, inhloso yabo enkulu ukuvusa isiyaluyalu nokugqugquzela abanye babo ezenzweni zobudlova. . —I-POPE LEO XIII, Incwadi Yeseluleko I-Rerum Novarum,n. 1, 38; v Vatican.va
Leso sixwayiso esingokwesiprofetho salandelwa ukuvukela kwamaNtaliyane, iSpain, amaKhomanisi namaNazi. Kepha ngenkathi udonga luwela eSoviet Union, lo moya wamavukelambuso awukaze. Kunalokho, ngobuqili, buthule, isakaze amaphutha ayo emhlabeni wonke, okungukuthi, ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo ezingakholelwa kuNkulunkulu iqhutshwa yimikhuba yokuziphatha.
Lokhu kusho ukuthi ivoti laseBrithani "iBrexit" lokwenqaba i-EU, ukhetho lwaseMelika lwakamuva olwenqabile ukusungulwa, ukuphakama kwelungelo elikhulu eYurophu… akuyona inkomba yokuthi amazwe aya ukuphenduka, kodwa ubuzwe nokuzivikela. Ukuketula ohulumeni, ngisho nohulumeni abakhohlakele, akuyona into embi. Kodwa yini evala isikhala kamuva?
Iningi lamazwe aseNtshonalanga ahamba ngokushesha okukhulu kude kusuka ekuziphatheni okungenasibonakaliso sokuguqulwa okungathi sína emehlweni. Yini abantu abakhathazeke ngayo kakhulu? Akukona ukulahleka kokholo kuNkulunkulu, kodwa ngokwezivivinyo, "umnotho", "ukuthula" kanye "nokuphepha". Eqinisweni, inkolo ehleliwe ibonwa ngokwengeziwe njengoba okuyingxenye lesikhungo esidinga ukugumbuqelwa, ikakhulukazi njengoba amahlazo ezocansi nawokwezezimali abukela phansi izinkolo ezijwayelekile, ikakhulukazi iSonto LamaKatolika.
Lokhu kusho ukuthi umoya wenguquko wosuku lwethu unegama: umoya we umphikukristu.
Noma ngubani ophika ukuthi uJesu unguKristu. Lowo ophika uYise neNdodana, lowo ungumphikuKristu. (1 Johane 2:22)
Ukuphika ukuthi uJesu unguMesiya, uMsindisi, akusho ukwenqaba ngengqondo indima Yakhe engokomlando. Kunalokho, ukwenqaba lokho elikushoyo: ukuthi ngiyamdinga ukuze angisindise. I- umoya womphik 'ukristu, ngakho-ke, uzibeka enkabeni yendawo yonke, kunoNkulunkulu. Futhi ukusuka endaweni yami odongeni lomlindi, angiwuboni lo moya uhlehla, noma kunemiphumela yokhetho lwaseMelika. Kunalokho, ngaphakathi kobuKrestu uqobo, kunokukhula…
… Umbuso wobushiqela wobumbano olungabheki lutho njengolucacile, futhi olushiya njengesilinganiso sokugcina kuphela komuntu nezifiso zakhe. Ukuba nokholo olucacile, ngokwesivumelwano seSonto, kuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi yi-basicism. Kodwa-ke, ukukholelwa ezintweni ezithile, okungukuthi, ukuzivumela uphonswe futhi 'ukhukhulwe yiyo yonke imimoya yemfundiso', kubonakala kuwukuphela kwesimo sengqondo esamukelekayo ezindinganisweni zanamuhla. —UKhadinali Ratzinger (uPapa BENEDICT XVI) ngaphambi komhlangano u-Homily, ngo-Ephreli 18, 2005
Angikusho lokhu ukuthi ngibe nethemba. Kepha iqiniso ukuthi ubuKhatholika eNtshonalanga busenkingeni, ngaphandle kwensali yemiphefumulo ebambelele okholweni lweqiniso. Isizathu ukuthi lo moya wenguquko amazinyo akhe embe ajule kulesi sizukulwane esilimele.
Emzabalazweni womndeni, wona kanye umqondo wokuba - wokuthi kusho ukuthini ngempela ukuba ngumuntu - uyabuzwa… Umbuzo womndeni… ngumbuzo wokuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba yindoda, nokuthi yini edingekayo benzani ukuba ngamadoda eqiniso… Amanga ajulile ale mbono [ukuthi ubulili abuseyona into esemvelweni kepha yindima yenhlalo abantu abazikhethele yona] kanye nenguquko ye-anthropological equkethwe kuyo isobala… —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Disemba 21, 2012
Kusho ukuthi umuntu ulahlekelwa yikho kanye ubunjalo bendalo yakhe: kudalwe “ngomfanekiso kaNkulunkulu.” Ngakho-ke, isizathu sethu sokuba khona, injongo nokubaluleka kokuhlupheka, kanye nomgomo wokuphila… kwehliselwe ekubeni yinjabulo nenzuzo edlulayo. Kungakho, kulesi sikhathi samanje ukuguqulwa komhlaba jikelele, sibona abantu abaningi befulathela ukholo — bethembela kunemali yethu.
Inqubekela phambili nesayensi kusinikeze amandla okubusa emvelweni, ukuphatha izakhi, ukukhiqiza kabusha izinto eziphilayo, cishe kuze kube sezingeni lokukhiqiza abantu uqobo. Kulesi simo, ukuthandaza kuNkulunkulu kubonakala kuphelelwe yisikhathi, akusizi ngalutho, ngoba singakha futhi sakhe noma yini esiyifunayo. Asazi ukuthi siphila ngokuhlangenwe nakho okufanayo neBhabhele. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, wePentekoste Homily, Meyi 27, 2102
Ingabe le ngenye nje yezindlela zokusho okufundiswa kwiKhathekizima?
Inkohliso enkulu yezenkolo ileyo yoMphikukristu, umbono mbumbulu wobuMesiya umuntu azikhazimulisa ngaye esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu noMesiya wakhe ofike enyameni. -Ikhathekizimu leSonto LamaKatolika, hhayi. 675
Lapho imiphumela yokhetho ivuna uDonald Trumps, amazwi kaSt Paul agqama engqondweni yami:
Lapho abantu bethi, “Ukuthula nokuhlala kahle,” khona inhlekelele engazelelwe ifika phezu kwabo, njengezinhlungu zokubeletha owesifazane okhulelweyo, abasoze baphunyuka. (1 Thesalonika 5: 3)
Opapa baxwayise kaninginingi ukuthi kunamandla “angaziwa” asebenzayo emhlabeni, ikakhulukazi ngemiphakathi eyimfihlo, ekhuthaza futhi igqugquzela lo moya wenguquko. Akufanele silindele ukuthi bavele bahambe nokukhethwa kukaTrump. Ngalesi “silo” esikhuphukayo siphikelela kulokho uPapa Francis akubiza ngokuthi 'ukuphela komcabango' [1]isib.

Ubani ongaqhathaniswa nesilo noma ngubani ongalwa naso? (IsAm 13: 4)
Isivumelwano Sezulu SaseParis besingaphezu kwesivumelwano sokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu; bekuyisinyathelo esibheke ekuhlelweni kabusha kobukhosi bezizwe kanye nokubuswa komhlaba. Ngomnotho waseMelika ngokusekelwa kwempilo, ikusasa lalelo zwe kungenzeka ukuthi selilele ngaphezu kwezandla zikaDonald Trump.
Sicabanga ngamandla amakhulu osuku lwanamuhla, wezintshisekelo zezimali ezingaziwa eziguqula amadoda abe yizigqila, okungezona izinto zabantu, kepha amandla angaziwa asetshenziswa amadoda, amadoda ahlushwa ngawo futhi abulawe nawo.

Ngabe ukhetho lukaTrump luziqedile izinhloso zabo ezaziwayo zokunciphisa inani labantu emhlabeni ngokuthanda umjaho "ophelele"? [6]qhathanisa Ukuhlulwa Okukhulu Uma ngabe kukhona, kungenzeka ukuthi iqinise umsebenzi wabo wobudlova wokunciphisa lokho uClinton akubiza ngokuthi "kubhasikidi abadabukisayo."

Abamesiya abasha, ekufuneni ukuguqula isintu sibe yinhlangano enqanyuliwe kuMdali wakhe, ngokungazi bayoletha ukubhujiswa kwengxenye enkulu yesintu. Bazokhipha ama-horror angakaze abonwe: indlala, izinhlupho, izimpi, futhi ekugcineni nobulungiswa bukaNkulunkulu. Ekuqaleni bazosebenzisa ukuphoqa ukuqhubeka nokunciphisa inani labantu, bese kuthi uma lokho kwehluleka basebenzise amandla. - UMichael D.
