Uquqaba olugubhile belungavumelekile. Akukhululiwe noma kugcotshwe. Kuthiwani ngemishado? Kulungile… kuyinkimbinkimbi. Abanye yebo, abanye cha. Kuya ngamaphepha, ukholwe noma cha.
Ubaba uMatthew Hood wase-Archdiocese yaseDetroit wakufunda kabuhlungu konke lokhu.
Wayecabanga ukuthi wagcotshwa njengompristi ngo-2017. Kusukela lapho wayenza umsebenzi wobupristi.
Futhi-ke kuleli hlobo, wafunda ukuthi wayengeyena umpristi nhlobo. Eqinisweni, wafunda ukuthi wayengabhapathiziwe nokubhapathizwa.

Impela, uFr. UHood wayecabanga ukuthi ubhapathizwe esemncane. Kepha kule nyanga ufunde isaziso esishicilelwe muva nje yiBandla laseVatican le-Doctrine of the Faith. Inothi lathi ukushintsha amagama obhapathizo ngendlela ethile kukwenza kungasebenzi. Ukuthi uma umuntu obhabhadisayo ethi: "Siyakubhaphathiza egameni likaYise neleNdodana nelikaMoya oNgcwele", esikhundleni sokuthi "Ngiyakubhaphathiza ..." ubhapathizo aluvumelekile.
Wakhumbula i-video ayeyibonile yomkhosi wakhe wokubhabhadiswa. Futhi wakhumbula okushiwo ngumdikoni: "Siyakubhaphathiza ..."
Ukubhapathizwa kwakhe kwakungavumelekile.
ISonto licabanga ukuthi isakramente livumelekile ngaphandle kwalapho kunobufakazi obuphikisana nalokhu. Bekungacatshangwa ukuthi uFr. UHood ubhabhadiswe ngokusemthethweni, ngaphandle kokuthi une-video ekhombisa okuphambene nalokho.
Ubaba uHood ubize i-archdiocese yakhe. Kwakudingeka uku-odwa. Kepha okokuqala, ngemuva kweminyaka emithathu esebenza njengompristi, ephila njengompristi futhi ezizwa njengompristi, kwakudingeka abe ngumKatolika. Kwakudingeka abhapathizwe.
Esikhathini esifushane wabhapathizwa, waqinisekiswa futhi wathola uMthendeleko. Wenza ukuhlehla. Wabekwa waba ngumdikoni. Futhi ngo-Agasti 17, uMatthew Hood ekugcineni waba ngumpristi. Ngempela.
Umbhishobhi omkhulu waseDetroit umemezele lesi simo esingajwayelekile encwadini ekhishwe ngo-Agasti 22.
Incwadi ichaze ukuthi ngemuva kokubona okwenzekile, uFr. UHood “usanda kubhapathizwa ngokusemthethweni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengoba amanye amasakramente engeke amukeleke ngokusemthethweni emphefumulweni ngaphandle kokubhabhadiswa okusemthethweni, noFata Hood muva nje uqinisekiswe ngokusemthethweni wagcotshwa ngokusemthethweni ukuthi abe ngumdikoni wesikhashana bese kuba ngumpristi “.
"Sibonga futhi sidumisa uNkulunkulu ngokusibusisa ngenkonzo kaFather Hood."
Isifundabhishobhi esikhulu sikhiphe umhlahlandlela, sichaza ukuthi abantu imishado yabo ibigubha uFr. UHood kufanele axhumane nesifunda sabo nokuthi i-archdiocese ibizama ngamandla ayo ukuxhumana nalabo bantu.
Isifunda sombhishobhi esikhulu siphinde sathi senza imizamo yokuxhumana nabanye abantu ababhabhadiswa ngumdikoni uMark Springer, umdikoni owabhabhadisa uHood ngokungafanele. Kukholakala ukuthi wabhabhadisa abanye ngokungafanele phakathi neminyaka engu-14 esontweni laseSt. Anastasia eTroy, eMichigan, esebenzisa ifomula efanayo engavumelekile, ukuphambuka enkambisweni okufanele abefundisi bayenze lapho bebhapathiza.
Umhlahlandlela ucacisile ukuthi ngenkathi amacala enziwa nguFr. U-Hood ngaphambi kokugcotshwa kwakhe ngokusemthethweni bebengavumelekile, "singaqiniseka ukuthi bonke abaya kuBaba uHood, bethembekile, bevuma izono abazange bashiye umusa nentethelelo ethile ingxenye kaNkulunkulu ".
“Lokho kusho ukuthi, uma ukhumbula izono ezinkulu (ezibulalayo) obungazivuma kuFather Hood ngaphambi kokuba agcotshwe ngokusemthethweni futhi engakayi ekuvumeni izono kamuva, kufanele ubayise ekuvumeni kwakho okulandelayo ngokuchazela noma yimuphi umpristi ngokwenzekile. Uma ungasakhumbuli ukuthi uvumile izono ezinkulu, kufanele uhambise leli qiniso ekuvumeni kwakho okulandelayo. Ukuxolelwa okulandelayo kuzofaka lezo zono bese kukunika ukuthula kwengqondo, ”kusho lo mhlahlandlela.
Isifunda sombhishobhi esikhulu siphinde saphendula umbuzo amaKatolika amaningi alindele ukuwubuza: “Akukhona yini ukuthi umthetho usemthethweni ukusho ukuthi yize bekukhona inhloso yokwenza isakramente, besingekho isakramente ngoba kusetshenziswe amagama ahlukene? Ngeke yini uNkulunkulu akubhekele lokhu? "
"Imfundiso yenkolo yisayensi efunda lokho uNkulunkulu asitshele kona futhi, uma kukhulunywa ngamasakramente, akumele kube nenhloso efanele yongqongqoshe kuphela, kodwa kumele futhi kube 'nendaba' (impahla) eyiyo kanye 'nefomu' elifanele (amagama / ukushukuma komzimba - njengokuthela kathathu noma ukucwiliswa kwamanzi yisipika). Uma enye yalezi zinto ilahlekile, isakramente alisebenzi, ”kuchaza i-archdiocese.
"Ngokwazi kukaNkulunkulu 'okumkhathalelayo,' singathemba ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzobasiza labo abanezinhliziyo ezivulekile Kuye. Kodwa-ke, singaba nokuzethemba okukhulu ngokuziqinisa namasakramente asiphathise wona."
"Ngokwecebo elijwayelekile elimiswe uNkulunkulu, amaSakramente ayadingeka ukuze umuntu asindiswe: ukubhabhadiswa kuholela ekwamukelweni emndenini kaNkulunkulu futhi kubeka umusa wokungcweliswa emphefumulweni, ngoba asizalwanga nawo futhi umphefumulo udinga umusa ukungcweliswa lapho esuka emzimbeni wakhe ayokuhlala ingunaphakade epharadesi ”, kwengeza ubhishobhi omkhulu.
Isifunda sombhishobhi esikhulu sithi siqale sathola ukuthi uDikoni Springer wayesebenzisa ifomula elingagunyaziwe lokubhapathiza ngo-1999. Idikoni layalelwa ukuba liyeke ukuphambuka emibhalweni yezenkolo ngaleso sikhathi. Isifunda sombhishobhi esikhulu sathi, yize sikwenzile okungafanele, sasikholelwa ukuthi ubhaphathizo olwenziwe nguSpringer lwalusebenza kuze kukhishwe ukucaciseleka kweVatican kuleli hlobo.
Umdikoni manje usethathe umhlalaphansi "futhi akasasebenzi enkonzweni," kwengeza umbhishobhi omkhulu.
Abekho abanye abapristi baseDetroit okukholakala ukuthi babhabhadiswa ngokungekho emthethweni, kusho i-archdiocese.
Futhi k. Hood, nje ubhapathiziwe futhi ugcotshiwe nje? Ngemuva kwesimo esibuhlungu esiqale "ngomsebenzi" omusha womdikoni, uFr. UHood manje ukhonza esifundeni esiqanjwe ngomdikoni ongcwele. Ungumfundisi omusha we-St Lawrence Parish e-Utica, eMichigan.
