Retos del Mundo y la Iglesia

          

Compartimos parte de nuestro discernimiento sobre los retos del mundo y la Iglesia referente a las tres comisiones de consagración, comunión, y misión.
 

Consagración

a) Secularismo: Vivimos en una sociedad marcada por el secularismo donde Dios ha sido excluido de la vida pública, donde el hombre no siente la necesidad de referirse a lo trascendente, donde surge la ridiculización del teísmo, donde las instituciones religiosas han perdido credibilidad y donde se resaltan los errores cometidos por las religiones en la historia, especialmente por la Iglesia Católica. Asimismo, el hombre trata de afirmar su dominio en el mundo y la responsabilidad de construir su propio destino. Una reacción ante el secularismo es la tendencia fundamentalista.
b) Narcisismo: Vivimos en una sociedad narcisista con necesidad de continua autoafirmación y gratificación.  El individuo se percibe como centro del universo,  el narcisista colabora en cuanto saca ventaja personal y, como es incapaz de posponer la gratificación, es intolerante ante los retos y fracasos que hacen madurar. Esta actitud lleva a una pérdida de generosidad en la donación personal, la compasión y la solidaridad con quienes experimentan más necesidades.
c) Consumismo: Vivimos en una sociedad consumista que es constantemente instigada a crear necesidades, percibidas inconscientemente como un mandato social, que hace de lo superfluo lo conveniente, de lo conveniente lo necesario y de lo necesario lo indispensable, pero al final permanece la insatisfacción. El consumismo lleva a una afirmación ilusoria de la persona. La lógica consumista provoca que todo sea desechable y nos lleva a la destrucción de la naturaleza.  El modelo consumista ha sido adoptado por algunos grupos religiosos de diversas denominaciones en su anhelo de ser exitosos y, como consecuencia, la gente “consume” en diferentes iglesias lo que necesita. 

Comunión 

a) Individualismo: Por un lado, la afirmación del yo lleva a reconocer la importancia del individuo y a no diluirse en el conjunto, a asumir sus potencialidades y a ponerlas al servicio de los demás.  
Por otro lado, en un comportamiento individualista, la persona pasa a ser el centro del universo y los otros son útiles en cuanto sirven a sus necesidades. Este fenómeno crea una independencia que fragmenta la comunidad, diluye la consagración y debilita la significatividad de la misión.
El individuo se deja llevar por criterios egoístas y busca situaciones que lo hacen sentir feliz a expensas de los demás, con deseo de gloria, triunfo y gratificación; si no las encuentra en la comunidad, las buscará en otros lados. Si no logra encontrarlas, entonces experimentará la soledad, el desánimo, la depresión y, en ocasiones, el abandono de la vocación. 

b) La globalización, el crecimiento de los medios de comunicación y el fenómeno de la migración nos hacen más cercanos y pueden ser factores de unidad. Por otro lado, estos mismos elementos han  relativizado muchos valores fomentando la falta de identidad: se cuestionan los valores religiosos, morales, y sociales; se busca el placer; se conforma con la apariencia o el éxito exterior; no hay sentido de pertenencia ni capacidad de compromisos definitivos.  

c) La exaltación de lo fácil e inmediato: Los descubrimientos modernos nos han llevado a una vida más práctica. Sin embargo, vemos también que el mundo nos propone una vida superficial y cómoda, desconectada frecuentemente de la historia, que busca la eficacia inmediata, que da prioridad a lo urgente sobre lo importante, que debilita el compromiso a largo plazo y que genera una espiritualidad lite.
   

Misión

a) La sociedad en los Estados Unidos está fuertemente marcada por un alto nivel de pragmatismo, eficiencia y orden. Esto nos exige en el ejercicio de nuestra misión responder con un alto nivel de preparación y profesionalismo. Constatamos dificultades en nuestros religiosos a responder a estas exigencias. Por este pragmatismo, corremos el peligro de ver nuestro ministerio como una profesión.

b) La sociedad estadounidense es multi-cultural, multi-lingue y sumamente diversa. Ello nos presenta un amplio campo de acción pastoral. Nos ha hecho falta definir y priorizar aquello en lo que Dios nos llama a trabajar y a capacitarnos para ello de manera correspondiente.

c) Vivimos tiempos muy difíciles en nuestra Iglesia. El escándalo causado por el abuso de menores por parte de sacerdotes católicos y la manera inadecuada como –más de una vez- los obispos respondieron a ellos, han dejado a muchas personas lastimadas. Nuestra misma Provincia y los laicos cercanos a nosotros hemos experimentado directamente las consecuencias de esta lamentable situación. Los medios de comunicación y la opinión pública han frecuentemente sacado de contexto estos problemas y han presentado una imagen distorsionada de la Iglesia. Es innegable que hemos perdido credibilidad ante la sociedad norteamericana.

First off Ι want to say great blog! I had a quіck question ωhich
I'd like to ask if you don't mіnd. I ωas interested to κnow how you center youгself anԁ
cleaг уouг mind before writing. Ӏ've had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Thank you!
