Paus Franciscus en de vrouwelijke diakens - een kwestie van goed luisteren

Het voorstel van Paus Franciscus dat er een commissie gevormd zou moeten worden om de rol en taken van vrouwelijke diakens in de vroege Kerk te onderzoeken (met het oog op een mogelijke herintroductie in het leven van de huidige Kerk, zou je kunnen denken) heeft geleid tot zowel enthousiasme als woede, en beide vaak om de verkeerde redenen.

There is a long chapter at the beginning of the rule on what sort of man the abbot should be, and point by point it can be applied to the sort of man a Christian father should be. Essentially, the abbot is a strong, loving, mature man who is clothed in the grace of Christ. He considers his responsibilities and authority as from God, and is therefore humbled and bears the authority with great awe — never lording it over others, but treating each one of his charges with tenderness and total attention. The Christian home is "ruled" by the father, but in a spirit of total self-giving and loving attention for the needs of all. This is a very high ideal, but it is a beautiful one, and one that we should not apologize for simply because some fathers have abused it. St. Benedict's abbot — and therefore the Christian father in the home — should call constantly on God for help and realize that he relies on grace to sustain him at all times. Furthermore, when we fail to reach the ideal we need to be humble enough to ask forgiveness both from God and from our wives and children. This is very important because children need to know that their fathers are not only fallible, but able to recognize their own frailty and ask forgiveness for their failings. If children see their father ask forgiveness they will not mind when they are asked to exercise the same humility.

Dwight Longenecker, Benedictine Oblate
