Synopsis
"El Evangelio nos anima a ser humildes y a no apuntar con los dedos a los demas para juzgarlos, mas bien debemos acercarnos a ellos y nunca creernos superiores." Con estas palabras, el Papa Francisco comenzo el Sinodo sobre la Familia, dando la oportunidad, lo que para los lideres de la iglesia era impensable, en invitar a las personas a poner en practica la esenanza explicita de Jesus: "No juzgues para que no seas juzgado. Porque con la medida con que midais, seras medido"
La sexualidad, las uniones entre personas del mismo sexo, los metodos anticonceptivos, la union libre, la libertad religiosa, ecologia, finanzas, nuevas formas de pobreza y exclavitud, son asuntos que exigen la libertad de conciencia y la doctrina cristiana por igual. El se dirige tanto al nivel humano como el religioso, hablando tanto a creyentes como a no creyentes, generando un debate dentro y fuera de la iglesia.
El endurecimiento de un corazon que juzga - algo que el Papa Francisco llama
"esclerocardia"- es la consecuencia de que me encierro en si mismo - con una actidud egoista, asilada, rodeada de tradiciones obsoletas que pisotean la dignidad humana.
Un corazon de piedra debe convertirse en un corazon de carne, y para el Papa Francisco es solo permitir que las palabras del Evangelio penetren en nuestro rigido espiritu, hasta que lo podamos convertir en uno palplitante y compasivo.
"The Gospel encourages us to be humble and not to point fingers at others or pass judgement on them; instead, we should reach out to them and never feel we're above them."
With these words, Pope Francis began the Synod on the Family, opening up to opportunities that until then had seemed unthinkable for the leaders of the Church and inviting people to practice Jesus' explicit commandment: "Do not judge lest you be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you."
Sexuality, same-sex unions, contraception, domestic partnerships, new families but also religious freedom, ecology, finance, and new forms of poverty and enslavement are issues that call on freedom of conscience and the Christian doctrine alike. Pope Francis gives his own unpublished interpretation based on a thoroughly forward-thinking theological vision. He opens up on both a human and religious level that speaks to more and more non-believers and is sparking strong debate inside and outside the Church.
The hardening of a judging heart - something the Pope calls "sclerocardia" - is the consequence of the I folding in on itself - a selfish, isolated I wrapped up in obsolete traditions that trample human dignity.
A heart of stone should become a heart of flesh. And for Pope Francis, it is only by letting the words of the Gospel drip into our stiffened spirit that we can make it throbbing and compassionate.
