ngoMsombuluko ibandla lamaKhatholika lifinyelele esinqumweni esiyingqopha-mlando esigunyazwe uPapa uFrancis sokuthi abefundisi bamaRoma aKhatolika sebengabusisa imishado abathandana nobulili obufanayo inqobo nje uma bengeyona ingxenye yemikhuba noma izinkonzo ezivamile zeSonto.
Incwadi evela ehhovisi lezemfundiso zamaKhatholika ithi ukubusiswa kwalemishado akusho ukuvumela izimo ezingavamile kodwa ziwuphawu lokuthi uNkulunkulu wamukela bonke abantu.
Lencwadi iqhuba ithi abaPristi kufanele kube yibona abahlola ukuthi labo afuna ukubusiselwa imishado bafanelwe yini ukubusiselwa, “akufanele ibandla livimbe ukusondelana kwalo nabantu ngenxa yezinqumo ezilula”.
UPapa uveze ukuthi lolu shitsho kuqale ukukhulunywa ngalo ngo-Okthoba lapho bekuphendulwa imibuzo eyaphakanyiswa oKhadinali abahlanu abalandela imithetho ethile ekuqaleni kwesinodi sababhishobhi.
Nakuba impendulo ngo-Okthoba yayihluke kakhulu, incwadi yangoMsombuluko enamakhasi ayisishiyagalombili, isihlokwana sayo esithi “On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings”, ichaza kabanzi ngalesi sinqumo.
IBandla lifundisa ukuthi ukuthanda abantu bobulili obufanayo akusona isono kodwa izenzo zobungqingili ziyizo. Kusukela okhethweni lwakhe ngo-2013, uFrancis uzame ukwenza iSonto elinamalungu ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1.3 lamukeleke kakhulu kubantu be-LGBT ngaphandle kokushintsha imfundiso yokuziphatha emisebenzini yobulili obufanayo.
