Recent questions in our country are about "Father Martin", despite been suspended from the Catholic Church since September 2009 generate animosity among the population towards faith. These news stories have been well exploited by government officials through MIMDES, placing themselves on equal terms. Is it the government holier than the "Father Martin"?
When in the past, the "Father Martin" was painted himself currency to fend off accusations that he received, now silent; thus revealing no sense at all to save the life you ever wanted, but could not bring: Priesthood.
Become a media figure of fun for believers and nonbelievers, easily forget the past and the judge repeatedly religious institution he represents. One visionary or read the recent news and no mention of the separation of Martin Sanchez Terán of Catholic Church.
Going beyond the sale news, such action becomes a media complicity. How far is the maintain objectivity, it is to be more faithful to reality than to the outrageousness of the fact , but this does not seem to interest the media. Scratching in the scandal is "vital."
This issue calls even more attention when, doors complete the "Year of the Priest" , convened by Pope Benedict XVI from June 19, 2009 , whose theme is "Faithfulness Christ, Faithful Priest, "the 12 thousand priests 5 continents, gathered yesterday in a " World Meeting Priests in the Plaza de San Pedro, asked the following questions:
1) America: "... When there is so much to do, we feel that what we do is not enough ... what direction should we take?". Pope Benedict XVI said "Rest, recognize the limitations and embrace the humility."
2) Africa: "... How disorienting when the world does not judge the faith and no faith to the world?". Benedict XVI said: "It's the pride of reason. Take courage from the abuses of it. Living the faith of the Church. Not subject to current scientific because it is temporary, to live the timeless. Focus on life of the saints. "
3) Europe: "... What is the meaning of celibacy?". Tenderly, the Pope said: "Celibacy is an anticipation that transcend to the resurrection .... It brings us to this. Celibacy is a scandal in the world. The 'not married' is a 'no 'the link, is autonomy. Celibacy is not, is another marriage with Christ. "
4) Oceania: "In the future we expect less seminarians ... How to propose to the young life?" . Benedict XVI said: " Pray to God to give us vocations. Living Priesthood so convincing , that's what we do each of us. "
Thus priests were reunited Italy (4,000), France (811), United States (300), e Hipanoamérica (9,000), to strengthen their faith and reaffirm their vows. They live daily with the problems of different groups that make up the Christian community , including those who are not part of it.
The task is not is simple, because defending ideas are not of this world . But if the scandal helps highlight negative act as a priest, also will do it for the positive actions . Only to this end, the requirement in Example versa, which seems to be difficult to access even for our priests.
The lives of the saints , just to try to be, caused scandals constant. Rich and poor made up the crowds which agglutinated to only hear or touch them and get the grace, the power conversion .
The understanding of these issues seems been denied us if we do not review history. Without it, we walk blind judging immediate. open your eyes and support priests who strive to be "an example", as they have had the courage and the courage to go that way is highly difficult for most of us.
