And 'interesting to see what' said the current Pope Benedict XVI, at the opening of the fifth meeting of the Latin American, with regard to ' obvious proselytizing operated by the Catholic Church. "The Church does not proselytize," the pontiff said, "feels disciple, having received the Gospel, just as a disciple and missionary. As Christ draws all to himself with the power of his love, so the Church fulfills its mission in accordance with spiritual and practical to love the Lord. " I think however this claim has not only served to confirm what the spirit is always tied to the Christian, namely, a proselytizing disguised and justified by the 'innocent apostolic spirit "and, therefore, the word spirit missionario.Ma analiza" missionary. "Missionary is one who is committed to spreading a religion in areas where there is still diffusa.Da this explanation can think of ways and violent crimes with which the Church has always spread its doctrine and its fede.Basti think of the "Holy Inquisition, the Crusades, or the first missions in the past America.Nel Christian missionaries were an integral part of colonialism, such as during European colonization of the Americas, Africa and Asia, sometimes the result was the destruction of entire ancient cultures, religions and traditional peoples conquistati.Un 'element that you can not escape the history of the missions is that of' Use of Force: initially expected, assuming that the Indians were opposed to reductions in segregation, and repressive techniques inquisitorie.Tuttavia we soon realized that to achieve real results were then passed to change approccio.Si ostentation of force : you acknowledge the destructive power of the Indian and European arms if you put the choice to be with or against loro.Solo later, with the Salesian missions in mid-nineteenth century changed the approach, based on a different conception of human life, although already in 1622 the Congregation Propaganda Fide had declared that it was now necessary to "renounce the use of the Inquisition and despair in the arts of persuasion," a statement that did not provide However, the disappearance of the disturbing "Courts of Conscience", nor a human approach by the Church towards its faithful and non.Oggi you may think that the Church has completely stopped the violence, but not exactly così.In Actually now I use some more "soft" compared to the previous raid in the secular life and the ever-proselytizing. The mission, therefore, is born assumed to know a single unquestionable truth, and then the faithful must be brought to disseminate to convert "sinners" and bring the world together in 'one truth: Is this love or fanaticism? is a good basis for a dialogue? Where did it go and free will that usually, as the believers say, God gives to his children? Normal .. then hearing news of Christians forced or violent reactions by fanatics, simply because every religion shout the truth, so that the proselyte is an "invader." I think the proselytizing, such as the spread of a faith, or the most stupid and irrational that may exist on this planet, simply because the existence same of different religions, believers and nonbelievers, is proof of how there is no one truth and that the act of the mission is not simply the same old weapon used in different ways and from different religions to extend its power of and control or simply a spirit of presumption, all camouflage from a noble goal as the salvation of the world.
