Kuthetha ukuthini ukubizwa kubomi obungatshatanga
Ndihlala ndithetha ngencwadi endiyifundela ibhlog yencwadi endicebisa ukuba "wonke umntu ayifunde". Ndimele ndibusiswe kwimicimbi yam yokufunda ukuze ndikwazi ukuyithetha rhoqo le nto ngokwaneleyo. Ndiphinde ndiyibhengeze, ngaphandle kokuzibamba, ndisuka kuBodwa ngeNjongo eNkulu nguLuanne D Zurlo (uSophia Institute Press). Umbhali, umhlalutyi wezemali waseWall Street waseMelika nothatha inxaxheba kuhlaziyo lwemfundo kumazwe asaphuhlayo (uye waphila kwaye wasebenza kakhulu eLatin America), wabhala isifundo esixhokonxa iingcinga malunga nokuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuphila ubomi obunye njengomKatolika; Umxholo wayo othi, "Uvuyo olufihliweyo kwiCawa yamaKatolika" ubonakalisa umyalezo wawo osisiseko: obu bizo ayisiyonto yesibini ilungileyo, kodwa ngumnxeba okhokelela kuzaliseko lwenene kunye noxolo lwangaphakathi.
Kwintshayelelo yakhe, uZurlo uphakamisa umbuzo ongumxholo ophinda-phindayo wencwadi yakhe: ngokunikwa inani elandayo lamadoda nabafazi abangatshatanga kwihlabathi laseNtshona namhlanje, “Ngaba uThixo angabiza amaKatolika amaninzi ukuba abenonxibelelwano olunzulu naYe, baphile njengabantu nje abaqhelekileyo. ukungatshati kwaye uphathe ixabiso leVangeli kwinkcubeko eye yaphambana yaza yanda kakhulu? Umbuzo olungileyo; Akunyanzelekanga ukuba ube ngumKristu onenkxalabo ukuze uqaphele ukungabikho kokuzibophelela kubudlelwane obungapheliyo kuluntu lwethu, okanye inani labantu abancinci ababonakala ngathi bayaphambuka abaye badlula kwimicimbi emininzi engenaziqhamo nabathi ngokungathandabuzekiyo bagqibe kwelokuba obu bubomi.
Nkqu neCawe, ixhalabile ukukhuthaza umthendeleko womtshato kunye nokunceda abantu abasele betshatile ukuba baphile ubizo lwabo, khange ikwazi ukujongana nabantu eCaweni. UZurlo ubhala athi uyalazi "inani elingachazwanga lamaKatolika azive engenantsingiselo, engenantsingiselo, engamkelekanga, engaqondakaliyo kwanokudelwayo" kuba akatshatanga okanye ahlala kubufundisi okanye kwinkolo. "Kwingqushu yelizwe lethu elinenkathazo emva kobuKristu," ingaba uThixo wenza uhlobo olutsha lobungqina bobuKristu kunye nabawexuki kubomi obuzimeleyo obufihliweyo?
UZurlo uveza ukuba enye yeengxaki ajongana nazo ama Katolike kukuba ingaba "ayadlula," acwangcisa okanye anethemba lokutshata ngexesha elifanelekileyo, okanye ingaba uThixo ufuna ngokwenene ukuba bazinikele kuye ngokupheleleyo besaphila emhlabeni. Uyavuma ukuba kwiminyaka embalwa njengebhinqa eliselula elinomsebenzi onomdla kwaye ohlawulelwayo, wayecinga ukuba ngenye imini uyakutshata. Kuthathe ixesha elide, umthandazo kunye nokukhula kokuqonda ukugqiba ukuba, nangona ngamanye amaxesha wayethandana nabantu abaza kutshata, uThixo wayefuna ukuba ahlale engatshatanga "ngenjongo enkulu," njengoko esitsho kwisihloko sakhe.
Kuthetha ntoni ubizo olunye lokwenyani? Ubuza watsho. "Lubizo kubomi obungatshatanga njengesiqhelo kwaye sikhokelwe ngandlela zonke ukuba sithande kwaye sikhonze uThixo ngentliziyo zethu zonke". Ukongeza kwimizekelo eyaziwayo eyimbali yobomi obungcwele obungafaniyo, njengoCatherine waseSiena, uRosa waseLima noJoan waseArc, uZurlo ukwalatha kubazinikeleyo abangatshatanga beli xesha lethu, njengomyili wezakhiwo waseSpain uAntoni Gaudi, uJan Tyranowski, umcebisi omncinci uKarol Wojtyla, kamva uPopu John Paul II kunye neIrish Frank Duff, umseki weLegion of Mary.
I-Zurlo ikwabandakanya umbhali wam endimthandayo, uCaryll Houselander, umchweli wemithi kunye nomzobi, kunye no-mystic, owaphulukana nentabatheko yokuphoxeka ebutsheni bakhe ngaphambi kokwamkela ukuba wayemiselwe ubomi obubodwa. Kwaye, elumkisa ukuba umtshato uthathwa njengokufezekiswa okupheleleyo ngokweemvakalelo, ucaphula uDon Raniero Cantalamessa ngendlela ubungqina bokungatshati obubeka ubomi babantu “bunokuwusindisa ngayo [umtshato] ekuphelelweni lithemba, kuba baya kuvula amehlo kude kube sekufeni. Le yincwadi esexesheni efanele ukufundwa nzulu.
