Une Hystérie Obsessionnelle ! Lettre Ouverte Au Pape Benoît Xvi
Par: Dr. Zeinab Abdel Aziz | 07/11/2007 | ReligionA l'occasion de la clôture du mois d'octobre, mois de la Mission, et de la Journée mondiale de la Mission, célébrée le 21 octobre, et du colloque de la Mission, tenu du 21 au 23 octobre à Naples, dans le cadre de "l'évangélisation du monde", imposé par Vatican II, en 1965, permettez-moi honorable Père d'aborder un sujet, fort délicat, dont nul n'ignore les effets négatifs, ni les actions qui prennent les envergures d'une hystérie obsessionnelle.. Que ce soient des colloques, des congrès, des tables rondes, des journées mondiales de jeunesses ou sous d'autres appellations, des jeux olympiques, des missions dans les quatre coins du monde, ou mêmes fourrés dans les accoutrements militaires des envahisseurs, les missionnaires ne passent plus inaperçus. L'obsession d'évangéliser le monde dépasse toute logique,- d'ailleurs vous ne faites que le répéter, dans presque tous vos textes, que l'église est d'abord missionnaire. Missionnaire par obéissance au verset 19, dans le dernier chapitre de l'évangile selon Mathieu, disant : "Allez donc, de toutes les nations faites des disciples, les baptisant au nom du Père et du Fils et du Saint Esprit".
