Fr Prof. Dariusz Kowalczyk: building the consent of the Church's chief mission? With who and around what?

“Sometimes you gotta get into a dispute, get divided, and even punch a table and say no way”Professor Dariusz Kowalczyk wrote. The clergyman in his text observed that while the Church is keen to introduce consent, it can only be based on concrete foundations. The disciples of Christ, as we have learned from the Scriptures, have always aroused the hatred of his enemies, noted the priest.

"Some repeat that the mission of the Church in a divided planet is to build consent. It's hard to deny it," wrote in a comment on the portal we go.pl a recognizable publicist. However, this does not show the full picture. As the clergy have pointed out, peaceful relations between people must be based on a good foundation and are not “absolute value”.

“But you gotta ask: ‘Do you agree with who and around what? The essence of the Church's mission is three-legged: preaching the word of God, celebrating sacraments, doing works of mercy. The most crucial thing is Jesus Christ, not consent according to our ideas," the Jesuit noted.

In the article Fr.Dariusz Kowalczyk recalled that Christ's disciples had always confronted the enemies of faith. They did not search discord, but if it was the consequence of their faithfulness to their own calling and divine commands, they accepted it.

After all, conflicts have happened even in the Church itself... “In Acts we read that There have been many disputes and disputes between the Christians of Judea and Paul and Barnabas (see 15:1-2). And then There's been a sharp clash. between Barnabas and Paul, So they divided up. (see 15, 39-40). And in his letter to the Galatians, Paul writes how he opposed Peter, accusing him insincere conduct (2, 13)”, reminded the publicist.

As the prof. emphasized, Christ himself was in conflict with judaic spiritual leaders, after all, for the faithful the most perfect example to follow. In his article, Fr Dariusz Kowalczyk reminded us that the Savior spared no harsh words and strong admonitions, trying to awaken the consciences of the Pharisees and scribes, and besides to show them actual wickedness.

“The full problem is to decently discern erstwhile to search consent and erstwhile to enter an open dispute. Agree is not an absolute value. There are also values, specified as truth, fundamental justice that must be fought for, even if it means entering into dissension," emphasized the Jesuit.

Finally, not all agreement is worth keeping. "There is simply a consensus that binds dirty business, corruption, lying, fear. It may besides be a binder to hatred any imaginary enemy, whose password 8 stars is as strong as a sad example in Poland. Bad consent is the consent of various clicks, cateries, mafia layouts, as well as obtuse crowds. This is silence against wickedness," emphasized the theologian.
