SIDE WHAT IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ?
(Part 2)
I keep thinking about this question, trying to further the accuracy of the terms ... "Catholic Church", I said in my previous reflections, no are "some" Mexican bishops and priests have been placed in the side "right" side of the rich and powerful in Mexico to obtain and defend their privileges unfairly. Not even they would be if all bishops and priests could agree to put on that side ... So in any case would be more accurate to say that "the clergy, or the higher clergy, serve the interests of the right" but could not say, without distorting the words, "every Catholic Church as does "... For " Catholic Church are all baptized in the name of Jesus Christ" especially as adults who affirm that baptism ... It would be a liar and unfair to judge all Catholics by the behavior of "some" or even "many." is particularly unfair and absurd that committed left Mexico to make widespread accusations such as offends the poor people of Mexico, mostly Catholic, who left says the same respect and defend ...
So, without repeating all my previous reflection, I quote the main paragraph of my article: "What hand it is and must be Catholic Church, the majority, true, that understands and reflects the Mission of its Founder and Teacher, in this our divided Mexico, in this polarized and facing Mexico? Side is poor, the side that has "hunger and thirst for righteousness" (Mt 5.6), the side of "the persecuted to seek and do good" (Mt 5.10), the side that fight and fight for a different Mexico, on the side of truth, on the side of legitimacy, on the side of those fighting for true democracy, on the side of a free press and committed side of Andrés Manuel, the legitimate President of Mexico , and the movement he heads into the Fourth Republic " ...
Beyond the basic catechism and talking in terms of profound theology, this article I want to clarify further the concept "Catholic Church" and on that basis to continue answering the question at hand: " The Catholic Church is its doctrine, its values \u200b\u200band principles, basic writing, their profession of Faith and Life, Not People individuals who compose "... In this sense, not the man just, full of love and hope, more committed, could represent Catholic Church. In this sense, the Catholic Church has no representatives. It is a hope. It is a Utopia. Reality is a dream that has been and will be solidifying and consolidating over time ... The Inquisition, for example, or the silent complicity with the Nazis, there have been results of doctrine or values \u200b\u200bor principles of the Church but very painful and shameful betrayal of their mission and its essence ... Have failed their "members", not the institution it is above all and everyone, including the "servant of the servants of God," Pope ...
Here's an example: with the exception of his opponents-and that some in bad faith or with low intelligence, "no one within the PRD says that this party is a traitor because he has" some "traitors in their ranks. Nobody accuses the PRD intolerant or undemocratic because there are politicians with their acronyms and act. No signals from corrupt or sold to the PRD as a party because some of its members are ... No. The PRD is also "the doctrine, values and principles, their writings ... not the individuals who compose it "...
In this second part of the topic that I get to it addressed the Doctrine and Writings Fundamental Catholic Church ( Bible, especially the New Testament) that constitute its inalienable Mission and Essence. And I say now that everything will go quoting and all that you can read for themselves clearly and forcefully set who Church and which side is the Church beyond ignorance or bad faith of their opponents and beyond the specific inconsistencies and betrayals of its members : In all the writings of the Holy Book the Christian-Catholic Church or Catholic Church is a liberating, progressive, tolerant, revolutionary "left." It is against hypocrisy, lies, injustice, all kinds of violence, especially the institutionalization of "the right" and all sorts of conservatism. And on the side of the poor, the oppressed and the persecuted and those who fight for justice, freedom and true democracy ...
hope that the texts I cite do not need comment or explanation: "Throw (God) to the mighty from their thrones and exalted the humble. Filled the hungry goods and sent the rich away empty "(Luke 1.52-53) ... "People asked him (John the Baptist): 'What should we do?" He replied: ' who has two layers of which has not, and who has to eat do the same. " Came also the tax collectors for John's baptism. They said, 'Master, What do we do? John answered: ' not charge more because of the' . In turn, some soldiers asked him: 'And we, what shall we do?

"When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and be happy because they not afford to pay you" (Luke 14.13-14) ... "'No servant can keep two patterns: look askance at first and want the other, or will stick to the first and despise the second. You can not serve both God and money god. " The Pharisees heard that. As men lovers of money, made fun of Jesus. But he said: 'You are given face perfect and religious men, but God knows the heart, and what men are great, God hates ' "(Luke 16.13-15) ... (See all of the parable of Dives the rich man and Lazarus, the poor: Luke 16:19-31) ... "'Good Master, what do I have to do to inherit eternal life? ... 'You know the commandments: Do not kill, do not steal, do not raise false statements ... " But he said: "All I am satisfied from young '. Jesus said, 'You still lack thing: sell all you have, give the money to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven, then come and follow me ' "(Luke 18.18-22) ... "How difficult it is to enter the Kingdom of God when they have riches It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God " (Luke 18.24-25) ...

"Zacchaeus Jesus resolutely said, 'Lord, I will give half of my possessions to the poor, who have demanded something unfairly will pay back four times more'" (Luke 19.8) ... "He came after Jesus in the Temple and began expelling those doing business there. I said, 'God says in Scripture : My house is a house of prayer. But you have become a haven for thieves '"(Luke 19.45-46) ... "The chief priests and teachers of the Law seeking how to kill it, just as the authorities of the Jews. But they did not know how, because the whole town listened, hanging on his words "(Luke 19.47-48) ... "Then they began to stalk Jesus and they sent spies, who pretended good faith to take advantage of his words, and so over to the police and justice governor" (Luke 20:20) ... "Beware of teachers Law, who like to walk around in long robes and be greeted in the streets, take the first places in the synagogues and the places at feasts. are people who devour the property of the poor, while take shelter after long prayers. There will be a trial for them without mercy " (Luke 20.46-47) ... " A you will take them prisoners, and persecute those delivered to the courts and prisons will, the will be brought before kings and governors because they have my name (ie my mission) " (Luke 21.12). .. " The kings of the nations of them act like owners and, at the time that oppress them, call themselves benefactors. You should not be. Instead, the greatest among you will behave as if it were your last, and the leader as one who serves "(Luke 22.25-26) ... "It has to be fulfilled in me what Scripture says : You will be treated as a offender "(Luke 22.37) ... "The men who were holding Jesus began to mock him and beat him.

"A few days ago, the chief priests and leaders of our nation over to be sentenced to death and nailed to the cross. We waited, thinking he was the one that to deliver Israel "(Luke 24.20-21) ...
All these texts and what I have been explaining from the first article made me conclude: If anyone says Christian or Catholic is acting differently or opposite to what you teach and Jesus lives is not Catholic, not Christian, does not belong to the Church of Jesus ... And above all, if someone acts in a manner similar to what Jesus taught and lived, that is Catholic and a Christian and belongs to the Church of Jesus even defines himself same as atheist or freethinker or anticlerical or anti-religious ... Why be Catholic or Christian, to be truly "left", be generous and fair, be a committed social activist, with spirituality and faith or without it, "not a question of" tags "but made of consistency of life ...
The issue will continue and conclude in an upcoming delivery.
