Papa Benedict: Nicio persoana nu are dreptul absolut de a se casatori

A aparut un articol in presa in care Papa incearca sa se asigure ca mariajul va dura.
Dar nu e numai problema asta. De fapt, cred ca incepe sa ne lipseasca credinta.
E interesant: inainte de revolutie, nu aveai voie sa crezi in nimic. Dupa revolutie, te-au lasat sa crezi in ce vrei tu.
Asta vreau sa spun: in ce vrei. M-a uimit sa vad ca fiecare a interpretat religia dupa cum a vroit.
Si mai mult, acestia impuneau religia la altii, fara nici un fel de justificare.
Semnul crucii “mazgalit” la piept in graba, infulecarea dupa miezul noptii cand se termina postul, acatistele pentru bani si bunastare.
Si mersul la biserica a devenit un …. Te casatoresti de 10 ori la biserica, botezul il faci impreuna cu nunta, raspunsurile la biserica se fac cu juma de gura ca ori nu stii, ori trebuie sa raspunzi la un telefon urgent.
Si asta mi se pare cel mai ciudat: de ce te mai duci la biserica? sa arati ca ce?
Mi s-a spus adeseori: pentru ca asa se face.
Dar de ce se face, nu a putut sa mi se raspunda.
Si de aceea apreciez mai mult credinta batranilor si taranilor, cati mai sunt. Pentru ei, ziua de duminica este sfanta. Imbracatul frumos, reducerea cat mai mult a activitatilor zilnice, curatenia sufleteasca.
Asta tin minte de la mine, la tara. O credinta simpla, curata, cu miros de busuioc si flori de camp.
Cunoasterea poruncilor si respectul lor.
Credinta moderna? Pare un fel de manea: portofele burdusite, sfintirea unor lucruri fara sens, cum ar fi animalele sau stadioanele, mediatizarea si impunerea cu orice pret a religiei.
Nu ma mir ca dispare credinta. Si de aici toate celelalte.

It appeared an article in the press where Pope tries to ensure that marriage will last.
But is not only this problem. In fact, I think that it begin to miss our faith.
It is interesting: before the revolution, was not allowed to believe in anything. After the revolution, you have left to believe in what you want.
I want to say what you want. I’m amazed to see that each person interpreted the religion as he wants.
What’s more, it requires faith to others, without any justification.
Sign of the Cross “scribbled” on the chest in a hurry, gobble after midnight when they finished the abstinence, the akathists for money and wealth.
And going to church has become one …. You can married 10 times in the church, the baptism you do with the wedding, the answers to the church do with half of his mouth or does not know, or will answer an urgent call.
And that I find most curious: why do you still go to church? Do you look like that?
I have often said: that it is made.
But why that is done, they could not answer.
And I appreciate that more elderly and farmers believe how many there are. For them, Sunday is sacred. The beautifully dressed, to reduce as much as daily activities, cleanliness of mind.
I remember this from me, in the countryside. A simple faith, clean smell of basil and field flowers.
Knowing the commandments and their respect.
Modern Faith? Seems kind of manea: wallets crammed, sanctification of senseless things such as animals or sports stadiums, and impose any cost coverage of religion.
No wonder that belief disappears. And here all the rest.
