Stu nawr\u00f3conych na katolicyzm przedstawicieli ameryka\u0144skich elit napisa\u0142o list do uczestnik\u00f3w synodu biskup\u00f3w. \u015awiadcz\u0105 w nim, \u017ce tym co ich przyci\u0105gn\u0119\u0142o do Ko\u015bcio\u0142a by\u0142o niezmienne nauczanie prawdy o cz\u0142owieku, ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144stwie, rodzinie, seksualno\u015bci i r\u00f3\u017cnicy p\u0142ci. Nawr\u00f3ceni prosz\u0105 duchownych, by nie zmieniali fundamentu nauki Chrystusowej.<\/strong><\/p>

\u201eWszyscy przeszli\u015bmy drog\u0119 nawr\u00f3cenia na wiar\u0119 katolick\u0105. Niekt\u00f3rzy z nas kiedy\u015b nale\u017celi do innych wsp\u00f3lnot chrze\u015bcija\u0144skich. Niekt\u00f3rzy nie byli ochrzczeni, wywodzili si\u0119 z innych religii lub uwa\u017cali si\u0119 za agnostyk\u00f3w albo ateist\u00f3w. Pomimo r\u00f3\u017cnorodno\u015bci \u015brodowisk, z kt\u00f3rych pochodzimy, \u0142\u0105czy nas wsp\u00f3lna cecha: weszli\u015bmy do wsp\u00f3lnoty Ko\u015bcio\u0142a katolickiego jako osoby doros\u0142e\u201d – czytamy w li\u015bcie.<\/p>

Autorzy zaznaczyli, \u017ce tym, co ich zach\u0119ci\u0142o do nawr\u00f3cenia by\u0142a niezmienna nauka Ko\u015bcio\u0142a na temat p\u0142ci, seksualno\u015bci, ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144stwa oraz rodziny. \u201eNa pocz\u0105tku wi\u0119kszo\u015b\u0107 z nas sprzeciwia\u0142a si\u0119 przynajmniej niekt\u00f3rym elementom nauczania Ko\u015bcio\u0142a w tych kwestiach. Jednak, gdy zacz\u0119li\u015bmy dostrzega\u0107, jak szkodliwe s\u0105 skutki popularnych koncepcji na temat ludzkiej seksualno\u015bci i po tym, jak niekt\u00f3re nasze zbory zacz\u0119\u0142y ust\u0119powa\u0107 w obliczu dominuj\u0105cej kultury – jej wyobra\u017ce\u0144 o wolno\u015bci, r\u00f3wno\u015bci, post\u0119pie i zyskuj\u0105cych na znaczeniu idei gnostyckich – ka\u017cdy z nas zacz\u0105\u0142 dostrzega\u0107, \u017ce jednak Ko\u015bci\u00f3\u0142 ma racj\u0119 w swoim nauczaniu\u201d – stwierdzili konwertyci.<\/p>

Wyja\u015bnili, \u017ce po u\u015bwiadomieniu sobie tego faktu, nauczanie Ko\u015bcio\u0142a sta\u0142o si\u0119 dla nich \u201edziwnie atrakcyjne\u201d. Po zg\u0142\u0119bieniu doktryny z czasem przekonali si\u0119, \u017ce \u201ewyra\u017ca ono najg\u0142\u0119bsz\u0105 prawd\u0119 o nas samych. Prawd\u0119, kt\u00f3ra jest zar\u00f3wno dobra \u00a0jak i pi\u0119kna, jakkolwiek wymagaj\u0105ca”.<\/p>

\u201eCo wi\u0119cej, niezachwiana pewno\u015b\u0107 Ko\u015bcio\u0142a w nauczaniu – czytamy – i zdecydowane g\u0142oszenie tej prawdy, nawet w obliczu wrogiej opozycji, by\u0142o dla nas dowodem na to, \u017ce mo\u017cemy odnale\u017a\u0107 w niej Jezusa takim, jakim On by\u0142 naprawd\u0119.\u201d<\/p>

Autorzy dodali, \u017ce to w\u0142a\u015bnie nauka o ludzkiej egzystencji g\u0142oszona przez Ko\u015bci\u00f3\u0142 w szczeg\u00f3lny spos\u00f3b ich poci\u0105ga\u0142a, poniewa\u017c zyskiwali pewno\u015b\u0107, i\u017c p\u0142ynie od samego Jezusa Chrystusa. Chrystusa Wcielonego, kt\u00f3ry przyjmuj\u0105c posta\u0107 ludzk\u0105 „objawi\u0142 cz\u0142owiekowi samego siebie\u201d. Ujawni\u0142 prawd\u0119 o znaczeniu cia\u0142a, r\u00f3\u017cnicy p\u0142ci, seksualno\u015bci, ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144stwa i rodziny.<\/p>

Co wi\u0119cej Chrystus wni\u00f3s\u0142 jeszcze co\u015b nowego do wsp\u00f3lnoty ludzkiej: godno\u015b\u0107, mi\u0142osierdzie, \u201eudzia\u0142 w Jego w\u0142asnej wierno\u015bci Ko\u015bcio\u0142owi.\u201d \u201eTo nie by\u0142 przypadek – czytamy w li\u015bcie – \u017ce pierwsi chrze\u015bcijanie zacz\u0119li wst\u0119powa\u0107 do Ko\u015bcio\u0142a poci\u0105gni\u0119ci przyk\u0142adem \u017cycia uczni\u00f3w Chrystusa, promieniuj\u0105cych \u017cyczliwo\u015bci\u0105 i dobroci\u0105, zajmuj\u0105cych unikaln\u0105 postaw\u0119 wobec kobiet, dzieci, ludzkiej seksualno\u015bci i ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144stwa. I to nie by\u0142 przypadek, \u017ce wiele wiek\u00f3w p\u00f3\u017aniej my te\u017c – z tych samych powod\u00f3w – nawr\u00f3cili\u015bmy si\u0119\u201d – podkre\u015blili konwertyci.<\/p>

Dodali, \u017ce s\u0105 w pe\u0142ni \u015bwiadomi trudnej sytuacji duszpasterskiej, jaka panuje obecnie i wszystkich wyzwa\u0144 stoj\u0105cych przed ojcami synodalnymi, zw\u0142aszcza w kwestii udzielania sakrament\u00f3w dla rozwiedzionych katolik\u00f3w. – \u201eNiekt\u00f3rzy z nas – zwracaj\u0105 uwag\u0119 – do\u015bwiadczy\u0142o b\u00f3lu rozwodu i praktycznie ka\u017cdy z nas ma znajomych lub bliskich krewnych, kt\u00f3rzy zostali dotkni\u0119ci rozwodem. \u00a0Dlatego jeste\u015bmy wdzi\u0119czni, \u017ce zwr\u00f3cono uwag\u0119 na problem, kt\u00f3ry wyrz\u0105dza tak ogromne szkody m\u0119\u017com i \u017conom, dzieciom i kulturze w og\u00f3le\u201d.<\/p>

Nawr\u00f3ceni wyja\u015bnili, \u017ce pisz\u0105 list ze wzgl\u0119du na obawy dotycz\u0105ce niekt\u00f3rych propozycji zmiany dyscypliny Ko\u015bcio\u0142a na rzecz udzielania Komunii dla katolik\u00f3w, kt\u00f3rzy s\u0105 rozwiedzeni i ponownie o\u017cenieni. \u201eJeste\u015bmy szczerze zaskoczeni – czytamy – wnioskami tych, kt\u00f3rzy proponuj\u0105 drog\u0119 pokuty<\/em>, kt\u00f3ra b\u0119dzie tolerowa\u0107 to, na co Ko\u015bci\u00f3\u0142 nigdy nie pozwala\u0142. W naszej ocenie nie da si\u0119 usprawiedliwi\u0107 propozycji, kt\u00f3re wyrz\u0105dz\u0105 szkod\u0119 nierozerwalno\u015bci wi\u0119zi ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144skiej”.<\/p>

Autorzy listu dodali, \u017ce jakiekolwiek zmiany w tym zakresie b\u0119d\u0105 niezgodne z doktryn\u0105 o ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144stwie. Konwertyci przestrzegli duchownych, kt\u00f3rzy chc\u0105 wprowadzi\u0107 \u201enowinki\u201d pod pretekstem okazania wi\u0119kszego mi\u0142osierdzia osobom maj\u0105cym nieuregulowan\u0105 sytuacj\u0119 \u017cyciow\u0105. Wyja\u015bnili, \u017ce \u201edobre intencje pasterskie,\u201d kt\u00f3re nie uwzgl\u0119dniaj\u0105 prawdy o tym, jak maj\u0105 si\u0119 rzeczy, jedynie pogorsz\u0105 sytuacj\u0119 i przysporz\u0105 jeszcze wi\u0119cej b\u00f3lu oraz cierpienia tym, kt\u00f3rym rzekomo staraj\u0105 si\u0119 to cierpienie i b\u00f3l z\u0142agodzi\u0107.<\/p>

Autorzy listy podkre\u015blaj\u0105, \u017ce nie mo\u017cna zapomina\u0107 o opuszczonych ma\u0142\u017conkach i dzieciach, kt\u00f3re wchodz\u0105c w wiek doros\u0142y nie b\u0119d\u0105 mia\u0142y motywacji, by wspiera\u0107 pi\u0119kno nierozerwalno\u015bci wi\u0119zi ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144skich.<\/p>

Konwertyci uwa\u017caj\u0105, \u017ce ci, kt\u00f3rzy sk\u0142adaj\u0105 propozycje o udzielaniu sakrament\u00f3w rozwodnikom \u017cyj\u0105cym w kolejnych zwi\u0105zkach nie rozumiej\u0105 albo nie bior\u0105 pod uwag\u0119 prawdziwego \u017ar\u00f3d\u0142a kryzysu rodziny, wynikaj\u0105cego w\u0142a\u015bnie z upowszechnienia rozwod\u00f3w, antykoncepcji, wsp\u00f3\u0142\u017cycia pozama\u0142\u017ce\u0144skiego i akceptacji dla zwi\u0105zk\u00f3w tej samej p\u0142ci.<\/p>

Przywo\u0142uj\u0105 s\u0142owa Benedykta XVI z grudnia 2012 roku, wyg\u0142oszone z okazji Bo\u017cego Narodzenia dla cz\u0142onk\u00f3w Kurii Rzymskiej. Papie\u017c m\u00f3wi\u0142 o \u201efa\u0142szywym rozumieniu ludzkiej wolno\u015bci, kt\u00f3ra podwa\u017ca samo poj\u0119cie bytu.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>

Autorzy listu przestrzegaj\u0105 przed kapitulacj\u0105 wobec \u201ekultury rozwodu.\u201d W ich opinii kapitulacja taka dokona\u0142by si\u0119 wtedy, gdyby ojcowie synodalni podwa\u017cyli niezmienn\u0105 doktryn\u0119 o ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144stwie. Konwertyci prosz\u0105, by duchowni zdecydowanie bronili idei nierozerwalno\u015bci ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144stwa, by pozostali wierni Prawdzie, kt\u00f3rej naucza\u0142 Chrystus i z tym samym zapa\u0142em jak uczniowie Chrystusa wiele wiek\u00f3w temu odwa\u017cnie o niej \u015bwiadczyli.<\/p>

\u201eNiech Ko\u015bci\u00f3\u0142 po raz kolejny przypomni \u015bwiatu o pi\u0119knie wierno\u015bci ma\u0142\u017ce\u0144skiej, gdy ma\u0142\u017conkowie \u017cyj\u0105 w jedno\u015bci z Chrystusem – apeluj\u0105. Dodali, \u017ce \u201eteraz bardziej ni\u017c kiedykolwiek \u015bwiat potrzebuje proroczego \u015bwiadectwa Ko\u015bcio\u0142a!\u201d<\/p>
