教宗訪伊拉克:從亞巴郎之地再出發,承認互為手足

教宗訪伊拉克:從亞巴郎之地再出發,承認互為手足

教宗即將訪問伊拉克  (ANSA)

By Vatican News

Mar 4 2021

教宗方濟各即將啟程,進行他牧職期間最艱難又重要的訪問:關懷基督徒,支持一個遭受戰爭和恐怖主義摧殘的國家的重建工程,並向穆斯林弟兄姊妹伸出友愛的手。教宗方濟各將要替若望保祿二世圓夢。

(梵蒂岡新聞網)教宗方濟各3月3日在週三公開接見活動中提到他即將在伊拉克展開的牧靈訪問。教宗說:「長久以來,我渴望與那些飽受煎熬的人民相會;與那個在亞巴郎之地殉道的教會相聚。」「我們將與其他宗教領袖一起在信徒之間的友愛方面向前邁出另一步。」教宗懇請眾人為這次旅途祈禱,願它能帶來益處。

伊拉克基督徒在這22年內一直翹首盼望教宗的到訪。聖座傳播部編輯主任托爾涅利在教宗方濟各出訪前,撰寫了一篇評論文章。他指出,「聖教宗若望保祿二世曾於1999年計劃在加色丁人的烏爾進行一次短暫卻意義非凡的朝聖旅程,從猶太人、基督徒和穆斯林共同的聖祖亞巴郎的城市出發。當時,很多人勸這位年邁的波蘭教宗不要冒著鞏固薩達姆‧侯賽因(Saddam Hussein)權勢的危險前去訪問。雖然有許多人,尤其是來自美國方面的人,試圖勸退,但是沃依蒂瓦教宗仍勇往直前。然而,那次純粹宗教性質的訪問後來未能成行,因為伊拉克總統抱持反對意見」。

1999年,伊拉克經歷了兩伊戰爭後,在國際制裁下處境困難,而伊拉克當年基督徒的人數是今天的三倍之多。托爾涅利表示,「西方第二次派兵征討伊拉克時,沃依蒂瓦教宗高聲反對。2003年發生了一場迅雷不及掩耳的戰爭,最終推翻了薩達姆的政府。3月16日,若望保祿二世在三鐘經祈禱活動中說:『我渴望提醒聯合國成員國,特別是安全理事會的成員國,根據《聯合國憲章》闡明的原則,訴諸於武力乃是最後的手段,必須在窮盡一切其它和平方法之後才能動武。』接著,教宗在念經後懇求說:『我屬於親自走過二戰的倖存者世代。我有義務告訴所有的青年、那些比我年輕的人、沒有這種經驗的人:絕不可再次開戰!誠如保祿六世教宗首次訪問聯合國所言,我們必須竭盡所能避免戰事再起。』」

沃依蒂瓦教宗口中的那些「青年」對這番勸言充耳不聞。他們沒能建設和平,卻掀起戰爭。伊拉克遭到恐怖主義的打擊,到處都是襲擊、炸彈和破壞,社會架構分崩離析。2014年,自稱為「伊斯蘭國」的恐怖組織橫掃伊拉克,造成更多毀壞、迫害和暴力,區域和國際勢力投入在伊拉克境內的戰役。越來越多的民兵不受控制,為此付出人命代價的是手無寸鐵的百姓,同時人民也依照各自的種族和宗教而彼此分裂。托爾涅利指出,面對伊拉克的處境,教宗方濟各在《眾位弟兄》通諭裡的話語極具現實意義:「我們不能再認為戰爭是個解決方法,因為它的危險或許時常會高過於所假設的功效。」

這些年來,為數眾多的基督徒被迫離鄉背井,到國外避難。在伊拉克這片最先接受福音的土地,當地教會歷史悠久,其根源可追溯至宗徒的宣講。托爾涅利表示,「今天基督徒盼望教宗方濟各的訪問,視之為呼吸一口氧氣。教宗很久以前就宣布有意前往伊拉克安慰他們,依循唯一觸動他的『地緣政治』,即:對受苦者表達親切關懷,以他的臨在促進修和、重建與和平的進程」。

托爾涅利最後強調,教宗此行的一大重點是在烏爾的活動,那裡是聖祖亞巴郎啟程出發的地方。教宗這次訪問是個「與其他宗教的信徒,尤其是與穆斯林一同祈禱的良機,好能再次找到手足之間和睦共處的理由,從而跨越派系和種族之分,重新建造社會架構,並向中東和全世界發出訊息」。
