Upopu Francis: ndingubani ukuba ndigwebe amaSini?
Ngo-1976 iCawe yamaKhatholika yajongana okokuqala nomxholo wobufanasini, ekhutshwe liBandla leMfundiso yeNkolo eyathi kweli nqanaba: ubufanasini yinto yomgaqo-siseko kwaye yinto engenabomi, ityala labo liya kugwetywa ngobulumko, ngokomyalelo wokuziphatha, ubudlelwane bobufanasini abunamthetho ubalulekileyo kwaye ungabalulekanga. Sitsho ke ukuba iCawe yamaKatolika iluqwalasele kakhulu olu calulo kumanyano phakathi kwabantu besini esinye. Yintoni ehlaziyiweyo kwaye yaxoxwa kuphela kwiminyaka elishumi kamva ngupopu waseJamani, awathi kuye:Indoda engqingiliyo ngecala ngalinye ayisosono, kodwa ngokwembono yokuziphatha kufuneka ithathelwe ingqalelo njengomntu onesimilo. Masikhumbule isicatshulwa esivela eBhayibhileni esibonelela ngomanyano oluphambili lwendoda nebhinqa ngenjongo yokuzala kunye nokwenza usapho.
Nokuba namhlanje umanyano phakathi kwamafanasini ukhuselwe ngamalungelo emithetho, kwiCawe iyaqhubeka nokuba sisivumelwano esingekho mthethweni. Masibone ukuba sifike phi ukusuka kwindawo yowiso-mthetho kunye nezentlalo: kubantu abathandana nabantu abathandana besisini esinye yimanyano yoluntu esekwe kumthetho wosapho, apho ubonelela ngamalungelo okuthatha inxaxheba kwilifa, ekubuyiseleni ipenshini kwimeko yokusweleka ngomnye wabantu abatshatileyo, kwaye kutshanje ukubanakho nokwamkelwa njengoko kulindelekile kwizibini ezitshatileyo. Kodwa nantsi into asixelela yona uPope Francis malunga nezitabane kunye nabathandana besini esinye: ukuba umntu olibhinqa ufuna iNkosi ndingubani na ukuba ndimgwebe? aba bantu akufuneki bagwetywe, kodwa kufuneka bamkelwe, ingxaki ayinalo olu mkhwa, ingxaki kukuphembelela ishishini, Kwindima yama-2358 yeCatechism yeCawa yamaKhatholika ibona le nto: abantu abanoluvo, benesiphene, kufuneka bamkelwe ngentlonelo nangemfesane, bangabantu ababizelwe ukuhlonipha intando kaThixo. Uya kutshintsha ikhathekisim yeCawa yamaKatolika kwintetho yobufanasini.
