ISan Bonifacio, iNgcwele yemini nge-5 kaJuni
(C. 675-Juni 5, 754)
Imbali yeSan Bonifacio
UBoniface, owaziwa ngokuba ngumpostile wamaJamani, wayeyimonki yesiNgesi uBenedictine owayeka ukunyulwa njenge-abbot ukuba anikezele ngobomi bakhe kuguquko lwezizwe zaseJamani. Iimpawu ezimbini zibalasele: ubu-Orthodox bakhe kunye nokunyaniseka kwakhe kuPopu waseRoma.
Hayi indlela eyimfuneko ngayo le mfundiso nokunyaniseka kwaqinisekiswa yimeko eyafunyanwa nguBoniface kuhambo lwakhe lokuqala lobufundisi ngo-719 ecelwe nguPopu Gregory II. Ubuhedeni babuyindlela yokuphila. Oko kwafunyanwa buKristu kwakuwele kubuhedeni okanye kuxutywe nempazamo. Abefundisi ikakhulu babenoxanduva lwezi meko zilandelayo njengoko zazinjalo kwiimeko ezininzi zazingafundanga, zikhululekile kwaye zithobela oobhishophu bazo. Kwiimeko ezithile iiodolo zabo zazithandabuza.
Le yimeko eyaboniswa nguBoniface ngo-722 kutyelelo lwakhe lokuqala eRoma. Ubawo Ongcwele wamyalela ukuba ahlaziye iCawe yaseJamani. Upopu uthumele iileta zokuncoma iinkokeli zonqulo nezaseburhulumenteni. Emva koko uBoniface wavuma ukuba umsebenzi wakhe awuzukuphumelela, ngokwembono yomntu, ngaphandle kweleta eqinisekileyo yokuziphatha evela kuCharles Martel, umlawuli onamandla waseFrank, utatomkhulu kaCharlemagne. Ekugqibeleni uBoniface wonyulwa njengobhishophu wengingqi kwaye wagunyaziswa ukuba alungiselele icawe yonke yaseJamani. Yayimpumelelo enkulu.
Ebukumkanini baseFrank, wadibana neengxaki ezinkulu ngenxa yokungenelela kwezopolitiko kunyulo loobhishophu, ukuthanda ubufundisi kwabefundisi kunye nokusilela kolawulo lukapopu.
Ngexesha lokugqibela kwimishini yaseFrisians, uBoniface kunye namaqabane angama-53 babulawa ngelixa wayelungiselela abaguqukayo ukuba baqinisekise.
Ukubuyisela ukunyaniseka kweCawa yaseJamani eRoma kunye nokuguqula abahedeni, uBoniface wayekhokelwa ziinkosana ezimbini. Eyokuqala yayikukubuyisela ukuthobela kwabefundisi koobhishophu babo bemanyene noPopu waseRoma. Okwesibini yayikukusekwa kwezindlu ezininzi zomthandazo ezathatha uhlobo lweemonki zeBenedictine. Inani elikhulu leemonki zase-Anglo-Saxon kunye noonongendi zamlandela zaya kwilizwekazi, apho wazisa oonongendi baseBenedictine kubukhoboka obusebenzayo bemfundo.
Ukucingisisa
UBoniface uqinisekisa umthetho wamaKristu: ukulandela uKrestu kukulandela indlela yomnqamlezo. KuBoniface, yayingekuko ukubandezeleka ngokwasemzimbeni okanye ukufa, kodwa yayiyinto ebuhlungu, engenambulelo neyothusayo yotshintsho lwecawa. Uzuko lobufundisi luhlala lucingwa malunga nokuzisa abantu abatsha kuKristu. Kubonakala- kodwa akukho nto ingaphantsi kunobuqaqawuli bokuphilisa indlu yokholo.
