Kritik itu menjengkelkan, tapi bisa membantu, kata Paus

Kritik itu menjengkelkan, tapi bisa membantu, kata Paus

Jan 27 2023

Kritik publik oleh para kardinal dan uskup memang mengganggu — “seperti ruam yang sedikit mengganggu Anda,” kata Paus Fransiskus, namun ia mengatakan perbedaan perlu diungkapkan dan kritik dapat membantu.

“Anda lebih suka mereka tidak mengkritik, demi ketenangan,” katanya kepada Associated Press dalam wawancara pada 24 Januari dan diterbitkan keesokan harinya. “Tapi saya lebih suka mereka melakukannya karena itu berarti ada kebebasan untuk berbicara.”

Kepausan bukanlah kediktatoran, katanya,  selain itu, “kritik membantu Anda untuk tumbuh dan memperbaiki keadaan.”

Wawancara AP dengan paus juga mencakup topik mulai dari kesehatannya hingga krisis pelecehan seksual yang sedang berlangsung dan dari homoseksualitas hingga kebijakan potensial untuk mengatur pensiun seorang paus yang meninggalkan jabatannya.

Paus Fransiskus mengatakan dia tidak memiliki peran dalam mencabut eks-komunikasi   Pastor Marko Rupnik, SJ, seorang imam dan seniman Slovenia, yang terus memiliki pembatasan pelayanannya tahun 2020 setelah tuduhan tambahan pelecehan seksual, psikologis dan spiritual terhadap wanita dalam sebuah ordo religius.

Sementara itu, dia mengatakan dia selalu memerintahkan pencabutan undang-undang (UU) pembatasan ketika sebuah kasus melibatkan seseorang yang masih anak-anak pada saat pelecehan, dia tidak melakukannya ketika orang yang selamat adalah orang dewasa karena keadilan menuntut penghormatan terhadap gagasan bahwa seseorang tidak bersalah sampai terbukti bersalah dan kejahatan harus dituntut dalam batas waktu tertentu.

Dalam diskusi tentang homoseksualitas, Paus Fransiskus mengatakan “homoseksual bukanlah kejahatan. Itu bukan kejahatan.” UU yang “tidak adil” yang mengkriminalkan homoseksualitas atau aktivitas homoseksual.

Menurut ajaran Gereja, aktivitas homoseksual adalah dosa, kata paus, tetapi, seperti yang diajarkan Katekismus Gereja Katolik, kaum gay harus dihormati dan disambut dan tidak dipinggirkan atau didiskriminasi.

“Kita semua adalah anak-anak Tuhan, dan Tuhan mencintai kita apa adanya dan kekuatan kita masing-masing berjuang untuk martabat kita,” kata paus.

Gay “bukanlah kejahatan,” katanya. Orang bisa berkata, “‘Ya, tapi itu dosa.’ Baik, tapi pertama-tama mari kita bedakan antara dosa dan kejahatan.”

“Ini juga merupakan dosa untuk tidak menggosipkan satu sama lain,” tambahnya.

Pada hari-hari setelah kematian Paus Emeritus Benediktus XVI, Uskup Agung Georg Gänswein, sekretaris mendiang paus itu, menerbitkan sebuah buku yang memuat kritik terhadap Paus Fransiskus, termasuk cara dia memperlakukan Uskup Agung Gänswein, tetapi juga karena keputusannya membatasi perayaan Misa menggunakan liturgi  sebelum Vatikan II.

Kemudian, tak lama setelah Kardinal George Pell dari Australia meninggal pada 10 Januari, dua teks yang dikaitkan dengannya dan mengkritik paus — salah satunya menyebut kepausannya sebagai “malapetaka”.

“Meskipun mereka mengatakan dia mengkritik saya, baiklah, dia berhak,” kata paus ketika ditanya tentang Kardinal Pell.

“Kritik adalah hak asasi manusia.” Pada saat yang sama, katanya, kardinal itu “adalah orang hebat. Hebat,” dan dia melakukan banyak hal untuk memulai proses reformasi keuangan Vatikan.

Paus Fransiskus keberatan dengan gagasan bahwa kritik telah meningkat sejak Paus Benediktus meninggal dan entah bagaimana itu terkait dengan mendiang paus yang tidak lagi ada menenangkan para kritikus.

Sebaliknya, katanya, hal itu tampaknya menjadi bagian alami dari “keausan” kepausannya, yang mendekati ulang tahun ke-10. Pada tahun-tahun awal, katanya, semuanya baru dan menarik, tetapi kritik dimulai “ketika mereka mulai melihat kekurangan saya dan tidak menyukainya.”

Seperti yang telah dilakukannya sesaat sebelum kematian Paus Benediktus, Paus Fransiskus juga mengatakan kepada AP bahwa dia tidak memiliki rencana untuk mengeluarkan norma tentang bagaimana seorang pensiunan paus harus hidup dan berpakaian dan harus dipanggil apa.

Namun, katanya, jika dia mengundurkan diri, dia akan bersikeras untuk disebut sebagai uskup emeritus Roma dan dia akan tinggal di kediaman keuskupan Roma untuk pensiunan para imam.

Paus Fransiskus bersikeras dia “dalam keadaan sehat,” setidaknya “normal” untuk usianya 86 tahun.

Lututnya telah sembuh, katanya, tetapi dia mengatakan kepada AP bahwa dia kembali menderita diverticulosis, atau tonjolan di dinding ususnya, kondisi di mana dia menjalani operasi tahun 2021.

Sehari setelah penerbitan surat dari pejabat tinggi Vatikan yang mengkritik rencana “Jalan Sinode” Katolik Jerman untuk membentuk “Dewan Sinode” para uskup dan orang awam untuk menangani masalah-masalah nasional yang dihadapi Gereja, AP bertanya kepada paus tentang melihat proses sinode Jerman, yang dimulai tahun 2019.

Proses tersebut berfokus pada empat bidang studi utama: pelaksanaan kekuasaan dalam Gereja; moralitas seksual; keberadaan imam; dan peran wanita dalam Gereja.

Tetapi, Paus Fransiskus mengatakan kepada AP bahwa proses Jerman tampaknya “elitis” karena melibatkan terutama para uskup, teolog, dan kaum awam yang diundang untuk berpartisipasi dalam konferensi para uskup dan Komite Pusat Katolik Jerman. – UCA News Indonesia
