Umbono ovela ePew: Ukuhlukumeza nokuthunyelwa ngezingqondo ezisencane

Isichazamazwi sichaza ububi njengokuziphatha okubi kakhulu nobubi, futhi sinikeza amagama afanayo anjengamanyala, okubi, okonakele, okonakele, ononya, omubi nowobudemoni.

Kuzwakala njengebhilibhodi elingena esangweni lesihogo.

Kodwa-ke ngokudabukisayo, uma umuntu emba ajule ngezansi kwamathuna futhi aqhubekele emlandweni weSonto LamaRoma Katolika, kungumfanekiso wesimo sokuziphatha okunyanyekayo kwabapristi abahlukumeza izingane kanye nesigaba sabaphathi besonto esihlinzeka indawo engcwele yalamademoni. Nokho lezi akuzona izindaba zanamuhla kuphela; kuqhubeke amakhulu eminyaka, kanye nokunye ukonakala, ukungathembeki, ubudlova, ukuqamba amanga nokuqanjwa okungekho eBhayibhelini kwezindawo ezinjengeLimbo nesihlanzo, ukuhlanzwa kukapapa, ukuzikhukhumeza okunesono kuze kube seqophelweni lokukhohlakala, futhi ekuqaleni, amaqembu ayizisulu eVatican— isigodlo sikapapa ngezinye izikhathi sasibonakala sifana nendawo yezifebe.

USimon Peter, idwala uJesu akhela kulo ibandla, kumele ukuthi uyathuthumela; amasango esihogo asinqobile. Sekuyisikhathi sokuzwa ngokuzwakalayo esihlalweni, ebandleni elingu-1.2 billion, elizanyazanyiswa yila mahlazo, ukusukuma njengamunye, kanye nensizakalo ezinikele ngensali, ezimisele ukukhuluma ngokumelene nakho konke ukwesaba kokujeziswa, nokulalela izinsuku kaSanta Petru.

Ukungashadi kwabefundisi, njengomyalo wabo bonke, kufakazele ukuthi kuyisinengiso. Amandla agqugquzela lesi siyalo kwakuwukuvikelwa kwempahla yesonto uma kwenzeka kuhlukana umshado noma ukufa, futhi eminyakeni edlule, ukungashadi kwanikeza indawo yokuhlala engcwele ezinkulungwaneni zokungafanele. Sekuyisikhathi sokuba abefundisi bavunyelwe ukushada nokuthi abesifazane bagcotshwe. Ukulandelwa okungokomBhalo kwalokhu kusukela esikhathini sikaJesu lapho abesifazane babephethe izikhundla ezibalulekile zobuholi enkonzweni, bengamele izidlo zoMthendeleko, futhi abafundi abaningi beshadile (kuMathewu 8:14, uJesu uphulukisa uninazala kaPetru umkhuhlane omkhulu).

ISonto LamaKhatholika namuhla lidinga ukukhishwa idlozi, ukususwa phezulu kuya phansi kwabapristi bezilwane, ababhishobhi kanye nokhadinali, nalabo ababheke enye indlela yokufihla ukuvikela izimpahla zesonto — abaFarisi banamuhla. Ngaphandle kokuhlanzwa okunjalo okuphelele, ngaphandle kokuvuma ngobuqotho ububanzi bazo zonke izono zesikhathi esedlule, futhi ngaphandle kokuguqulwa okuyisisekelo, okufana noKristu, hhayi nje isithembiso saso, kodwa ukwenziwa kwaso, iSonto LamaKatolika akunakwenzeka ukusinda ezizukulwaneni ezimbalwa ezizayo. Okubi ngaphakathi kuzokuwisa.

“Manje-ke kusalokhu kokuthathu: ukukholwa, ithemba, nothando. Kodwa okukhulu kunakho konke lokhu uthando. ”- 1 Korinte 13:13.

Luphi uthando? Umlando uyicala lokubekwa icala.

Ngakhulela e-Irish Catholic, ngingomunye wabantwana abayi-10, eRye, eNew York, ngaphandle nje kweManhattan, eResurrection Parish, lapho ngasebenza khona njengomfana wase-altare, ngikhuphuka isitebhisi sabefundisi e-altare ngaya “kuMphathi Wemikhosi,” ngisho nokucabanga kafushane ngobizo esikoleni esiphakeme kuya kubupristi. Ngisazibona ngingumKatolika, noma kunjalo, ukudalulwa ngokuphelele, ngiya emasontweni amaProthestani naseSonto LamaKatolika. Umkami uMary Catherine wakhuliswa njengomKatolika, kanye nomndeni wakhe, nezingane zethu ezintathu, uBrendan, uColleen noConor, bonke babengamaKatolika abhapathiziwe. Futhi yebo, ngiyisoni, angiphelele njengathi sonke.Kepha angiphonsi itshe lokuqala.

Isimemezelo sakamuva se-Attorney General Josh Shapiro sombiko omkhulu oshisayo we-jury, sibhala ngokungaziphathi kahle ngokobupristi kwabapristi abangama-301 ePennsylvania, okubandakanya izisulu ezingaphezu kwe-1 000 nokulahla abambalwa phakathi kwabaphathi besonto ukuvikela izidlakela ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-70 yokuthula, kuyathusa, futhi manje kuyabiza okungabazekayo ukuthi kunamaphakethe amaningi angadalulwanga okuphendukezela kompristi emhlabeni wonke nawo okumele ahlolwe. “Thina sigungu esikhulu sakwajaji sidinga ukuthi nizwe lokhu,” kuqale umbiko. “Abefundisi babedlwengula abafana namantombazane amancane, futhi abantu bakaNkulunkulu ababebhekene nabo abagcinanga ngokwenza lutho; bakufihlile konke ... Into eyinhloko bekungekhona ukusiza izingane, kodwa ukugwema ihlazo. ”

UThomas Groome, onguprofesa wezenkolo nemfundo yezenkolo eBoston College, nowayengumpristi, batshela iThe Daily Beast: “Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi isikhungo sethu nabaholi baso basilele kangaka ekumeleleni lokho esazi ukuthi yiVangeli likaJesu Kristu? ”

Umbiko wamajaji omkhulu onamakhasi angu-1 400 unemininingwane yokuhlukunyezwa okuyisimanga. Phakathi kodlame nokuxhashazwa, njengoba kubikwe ngu IWashington Post , umfana oneminyaka eyisikhombisa owanukubezwa ngokocansi ngumpristi owabe esemtshela ukuthi makavume izono avume “izono” zakhe, maqondana nokuhlangana ngokocansi.

“Omunye umfana,” IWashington Pos t kubikwe ukuthi “wadlwengulwa ephindelela kusukela eminyakeni ephakathi kwengu-13 kuya kwengu-15 ngumfundisi owayethamba kanzima emhlane womfana waze walimala kanzima emgogodleni. Isisulu kamuva saba umlutha wamaphilisi ezinhlungu saphinde sabulawa ukudlula ngokweqile. Isisulu esisodwa ePittsburgh saphoqeleka ukuba sibonakale sinqunu, sikhombisa uKristu esiphambanweni, ngenkathi abapristi bemthwebula ngekhamera yePolaroid. Abapristi banikeze lo mfana nabanye imigexo yesiphambano yegolide ukubaphawula 'njengabalungiselwe' ukuhlukunyezwa. ”

Ufundile ukuphumula okwesabekayo, kanye nokwangaphambilini futhi okunamandla IBoston Globe Umklomelo wePulitzer “Spotlight” obhekene nokuhlukunyezwa kwabapristi, okujulile New York Times ukumbozwa, nemibiko evela emhlabeni wonke. Ububi obuthathe isimo somuntu. Imiphumela emibi ngokwengqondo yokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi ihlala impilo yonke — ukucindezeleka, ukubuyela emuva, ukuba necala, ukucindezeleka kwangemva kwenhlekelele, ukusebenzisa kabi izidakamizwa, ukuzilimaza, ukuba ndikindiki kwengqondo, ukuzibulala.

Noma kunjalo iVatican iqhubeka izungeza izinqola, ivuma ukuhlukunyezwa kwesikhathi esedlule ngaphandle kwesimemezelo noma uhlelo lwezikhathi lokuguqulwa kokhonkolo ukunqanda lokhu kunengeka. Kuyisu lokuxhumana elinenkinga yezincwadi ezivela eVatican: vumela amaphutha athile, vele usho ngokwanele ukuphendula ezingeni eliphezulu, sebenzela ukugcina indaba ingekho ekhasini lokuqala, futhi ekugcineni izophela. Ibhizinisi njengenjwayelo.

"Noma kungathiwa iningi lamacala lawa akudala, noma kunjalo, njengoba isikhathi siqhubeka, sesiyabazi ubuhlungu bezisulu eziningi," uPapa Francis usanda kubhalela inhlangano yesonto. "Sibonile ukuthi lezi zilonda azipheli nokuthi zidinga ukuthi sizijezise ngalezi zenzo futhi sihlanganyele ekuqedeni leli siko ..."

Ekuqaleni, uPapa Francis wenqabile ukuphawula ngombiko omkhulu wamajaji; esikhundleni salokho enkulumweni yesigodlo sabaphostoli esibheke eSt.Peter's Square, wakhuluma ngosanta nezulu, futhi wathandazela izisulu zokuwa kwebhuloho enyakatho ne-Italy. Ukuphawula kwakhe esidlangalaleni ohambweni lwakamuva oluya e-Ireland, okuyisizinda sokuhlukunyezwa ngabapristi, nakho bekungajulile futhi kudumaza.

Ngiyaxolisa, Francis, kodwa sikhuluma ngesonto lapha, elisungulwe nguJesu ukuba libe ngabelusi, hhayi izimpisi, libe ngumzimba kaKristu, hhayi ukwenziwa kukaBelzebule. Kungani wena nabanye okhadinali abakanye nabo ningakutholi? Iqiniso lokuthi lezi zenzo zobulwane nezinye emhlabeni wonke zenzekile esontweni elisuselwe ebumsulweni, ekuthobekeni, nasothandweni kuyisizathu sokubopha iminyango bese uqala kabusha. Kepha lokho kuzothatha ibutho kubaholi, insalela yabapristi abathembekile, ababhishobhi kanye nokhadinali, kanye nombono womphakathi onamandla wokufuna ushintsho olubhalwe phansi, ukwamukela ngokugcwele ukujula kwezono zesikhathi esedlule, nokuthola idwala elilahlekile eRoma.

Angikwazi ukucabanga ukwethuka komuntu siqu kokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi, kepha ngiyaqonda ezingeni elithile, njengoba kwenza izigidi zabanye, ukuba ndikindiki kwengqondo, njengoba ngibhekana nakho. Lapho ubuchopho buhluleka, lapho iphaneli yokulawula yomzimba ingangenisiwe, njengoba kunjalo ekuwohlokeni komqondo, ingqondo nomzimba akukwazi ukusebenza kahle ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ochungechungeni lokuqhubeka kancane. Beka lokho kumaloli amaningi we-steroids, futhi uneminye yemiphumela esabekayo, esheshayo engqondweni yokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi.

Kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi isonto liwele phansi emgodini omnyama ovela kuSihlalo weSt. Peter? UMartin Luther wayenengqondo lapho ebeka ama-Theses akhe angama-95 emnyango ka-Wittenberg Castle church eJalimane. ULuther, umpristi, uprofesa waseJalimane wezenkolo, kanye nomuntu oguqukayo kuZinguquko ZamaProthestani, waphonsela iSonto LamaKatolika inselelo ngezizathu eziningana, ezibandakanya ukungaziphathi kahle ngokobulili nokuthengiswa kabi kwamaphepha okuxolela izono, izitifiketi zokwehlisa isijeziso sesikhashana somndeni nabathandekayo ePurgatory .

Kepha ukuphambuka esontweni kusukela emakhulwini okuqala eminyaka. Ngonyaka ka-836, uMkhandlu wase-Aix-la-Chapelle wadalula ukuthi ukukhishwa kwezisu nokubulawa kwezinsana kwenzeka kwizigodlo nezindela ukuze kufihlwe imisebenzi yabefundisi abangashadile. Ezinsukwini zokuqala zesonto lapho iningi labapristi lishada, uMkhandlu wase-Elvira ngo-305 wasebenzisa umthetho wokungashadi wabapristi, labo abashadile nabangashadile — ubumsulwa obuphelele, ukusondeza abefundisi eNkosini. Kepha njengoba umlando ukhombisa, bekuyinto yokubanjwa kwempahla yesonto, futhi ngaleyo ndlela yavula umnyango wabanukubeza izingane ngezindlela ezigula kakhulu nezinonya kakhulu. Isonto lalineminyaka eyinkulungwane ubudala lapho lamukela ngokusemthethweni ukungashadi njengesiyalo eMkhandlwini Wesibili WaseLateran wango-1139, futhi laqiniswa eMkhandlwini waseTrent ngo-1563, yize isiyalo sesonto singeyona imfundiso futhi singaguqulwa uPapa nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, kubandakanya manje.

UPope Francis eminyakeni eyedlule wabelana ngezinkolelo zakhe mayelana nokungashadi ngesikhathi engu-Archbishop waseBuenos Aires, okulotshwe encwadini, On Heaven and Earth. Uthe ukungashadi “kuyindaba yokukhuza, hhayi ukukholwa. Kungashintsha, ”kodwa wanezela,“ Okwamanje, ngivuna ukugcina ukungashadi. ” Uthe kunobuhle nobubi bokungashadi, wathi kunamakhulu eminyaka wesipiliyoni esihle, kunokuhluleka.

Ungenza kangcono, Francis, futhi akudingeki usebenze kanzima ukukhuphuka ngaphezu kwabanye bakho ababengaphambi kwakho ebandleni lokuqala ababeke inkambo yezinyoka eqhubeka nanamuhla. Phakathi kokubi kakhulu:

UPapa uStephen VI, owangena embusweni ngo-896, wayala ukuba kukhishwe isidumbu sikaPopu Formosus, egqoke izingubo zobupapa futhi afakwa esihlalweni sobukhosi ukuze abhekane necala. UStephen wayala isidumbu ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi sihudulwe emgwaqweni bese siphonswa eMfuleni iTiber.

Ngo-1095, uPapa Urban II wenza ukuba amakhosikazi abapristi athengiswe ebugqilini, izingane zashiywa.

UPapa Alexander VI, owasebenza kusukela ngo-1492 kuya ku-1530, umuntu waseSpain ocebile okuthiwa wathenga upapa, wabulala amakhadinali ayizimbangi ukuze athole izimpahla zakhe, futhi ngesikhathi sakhe sokuphumula wazala izingane eziningana ngamakhosikazi.

Kunabanye abaningi. Umuntu angakwazi iGoogle. Ingabe okuhle kungaphuma kokubi lapho ububi bushumekiwe? Ukube besiyazi impendulo, besizokwazi sonke ukuthi zingaki izingelosi ezingadansa ekhanda likaphini. Njengabaningi, benginamathemba amakhulu ezinguquko ezinkulu lapho kukhethwa uPapa Francis, kepha ubonakala esebenzisana manje nasenhlanganweni yamandla esonto. Isikhathi sizosho, kepha intuthu emhlophe iphenduke yamafu. Ngomzuzwana lapho amaKatolika edinga isonto kakhulu, isonto liyi-AWOL. Okokuqala, uPapa Francis angabuyisa amakhethini amnyama eVatican, avumele abapristi ukuthi bashade, futhi agcobe abesifazane ngamalungelo aphelele okugcotshwa. Lokho kungenzeka kungayeki ukuhlukunyezwa esontweni, kepha kungaba yisithiyo esikhulu.

Kubhala uMargery Eagan, ongumKatolika, mayelana nezinguquko zesonto ku- IBoston Globe kukholamu, “Ukufika lapho kusho izinguquko ezinkulu. Kepha isonto lapho abesilisa nabesifazane babelana khona ngamandla kumele libe phakathi kwabo. Hhayi ukuthi abesifazane baphelele, kunjalo. Kepha angingabazi ukuthi abesifazane abangamaKhatholika abanegunya esontweni ngabe basindise izinkulungwane zezingane ezilwaneni eziyizigebengu kulo lonke elasePennsylvania, eBoston, eMelika, nasezweni lonke. Nakhu abesifazane abangaze bakwenze: ukudlwengula izingane. ”

Amen!
