Na semana passada foi eleito um novo papa. Todas as reportagens e intervenientes mencionaram ser necessário rejuvenescimento e vigor no novo papado. O que é muito compreensível visto que o papa Bento XVI renunciou devido ao peso da idade.
"No mundo de hoje", disse na sua carta de renúncia, "sujeito a rápidas mudanças e agitado por questões de grande relevância para a vida e para a fé, para governar a barca de Pedro e anunciar o Evangelho, é necessário vigor, tanto do corpo como do espírito, vigor que, nos últimos meses, diminuiu de tal modo em mim que devo reconhecer a minha incapacidade de administrar bem o ministério a mim confiado. (...) "
Relembro que o papa Bento XVI foi eleito com 78 anos, já era portanto um rapaz com muita experiência, vá!! No meio das informaçãos todas apresentadas a semana passada descobri que os homens da igreja que têm mais de 75 anos não são autorizados a comandar nem mesmo uma diocese pequena, e os cardeais com mais de 80 anos não podem eleger o papa. Ora com tanta preocupação relativamente com a idade, eu pensei cá com os meu botões que agora iriam escolher alguém muito mais novo!!
OK, é a Igreja Católica! Não iam escolher um miúdo, e por miúdo estou a falar de alguém com menos de 60 anos!! Mas sempre pensei que seria alguém com 60 e poucos, por aí!!
E eis que elegem um papa com..... 76 anos!! Opá, a sério??
Quer dizer com mais de 75 anos não têm capacidades para estar à frente de uma diocese, mas têm para estar à frente do Vaticano??!!!
De facto é mais novo. O Ratzinger tem agora 85 e o novo papa tem 76, uma criança. São NOVE anos de diferença!! E se pensarmos em termos de eleição são dois anos de jovialidade que se ganharam. Mais concretamente 1 ano e 10 meses, ou seja 22 meses, 670 dias. E se pensarmos em horas então dá um disparate de 16080!! Muito mais novo, olaré!!!
Last week a new pope was elected. All reports mentioned that rejuvenation and pulse were required for the new papacy. Which is very understandable since Pope Benedict XVI renounced due to the weight of age.
"In today's world," he said in his resignation speech, "subject to rapid changes and agitated by issues of great relevance to the life and faith, to govern the barque of Peter and proclaim the Gospel, it is necessary force both body and spirit, that force, in recent months, fell so in me that I must acknowledge my inability to manage well the ministry entrusted to me. (...) "
I recall that Pope Benedict XVI was elected at age 78, he was already a guy with much experience, so to speak! In the midst of all informaçãos presented last week I discovered that the men of the church who have more than 75 years are not allowed to command even a small diocese, and the Cardinals over 80 years can not elect the pope. Therefore with so much concern with age, I was expecting to be chosen someone much younger!
OK, is the Catholic Church! They would not choose a kid, and by kid I'm thinking someone with less than 60 years! But I always thought it would be someone with 60-somethings, more or less!
And the pope elected is ..... 76 years! Oops, seriously?
I mean over 75 years don´t have capabilities to stay ahead of a diocese, but have to be ahead of the Vatican?!!
In fact, he is younger. The Ratzinger is now 85 and the new pope is 76! A child! Are NINE years apart! And if we think in terms of election is two years of joviality that were won. To be more accurate 1 year and 10 months, or 22 months, 670 days. And if we think in hours then gives the amount of 16,080! Much younger, without a doubt!!
