Ecumenismo

Ecumenismo es la tendencia o movimiento que busca la restauración de la unidad de los cristianos, es decir, la unidad de las distintasconfesiones religiosas cristianas «históricas», separadas desde losgrandes cismas. Si bien el término «oikoumenē» se utilizó desde los tiempos del Imperio Romano para expresar al mundo como unidad, en la actualidad la palabra «ecumenismo» tiene una significación eminentemente religiosa, y es usada primordialmente para aludir a los movimientos existentes en el seno del cristianismo cuyo propósito consiste en la unificación de las diferentes denominaciones cristianas, separadas por cuestiones de doctrina, de historia, de tradición o de práctica.

En cambio, la búsqueda de cooperación entre diferentes religiones (tanto entre las religiones abrahámicas —judaísmo, cristianismo e islam— como con otras) se llama diálogo interreligioso.¹

En el sentir de numerosas personalidades cristianas del último siglo, el ecumenismo constituye un camino de superación de las divisiones entre los cristianos, en orden al cumplimiento del mandato de Cristo: «[...] que todos sean uno [...]» {Juan 17:21).²

Entre las muchas personalidades relevantes que tienen o tuvieron influencia en el desarrollo de la conciencia ecuménica se encuentran Robert Gardiner, el teólogo Yves Congar, el hermano Roger Schutz —fundador de laComunidad ecuménica de Taizé—, Chiara Lubich —fundadora del Movimiento de los Focolares—, el patriarcaAtenágoras I, los papas Juan XXIII, Pablo VI y Juan Pablo II, y el arzobispo de Canterbury Rowan Williams.

Catolicismo (del griego καθολικός, katholikós, 'universal, que comprende todo') es un término que hace referencia al carácter de la fe profesada por los cristianos fieles de la Iglesia católica, como así también a la teología, doctrina, liturgia, principios éticos y normas de comportamiento derivadas, al igual que al conjunto de sus seguidores como un todo, a quienes se les denomina «católicos».² El vocablo «catolicismo» se usa por lo general para hacer alusión a la experiencia religiosa compartida por las personas que viven en comunión con la Iglesia de Roma.³

De manera más específica, el término se refiere solamente a la Iglesia católica, compuesta por 23 iglesias sui iuris que se encuentran en completa comunión con el Papa y que en conjunto reúnen a más de mil millones de fieles⁴ (una sexta parte de la población mundial y más de la mitad de todos los fieles cristianos).^5 6 La principal característica distintiva de la Iglesia católica es el reconocimiento de la autoridad y primacía del papa, obispo de Roma.^{Nota 1} Sin embargo hay varias Iglesias que comparten también el adjetivo calificativo de «católicas», como la Iglesia ortodoxa y las Antiguas iglesias orientales, la Iglesia asiria del Oriente y las Iglesias que constituyen la Comunión Anglicana

La imagen superior apareció en un muro de Facebook cuyos comentarios son  pro-católicos. Me llamo la atención porque no solamente contradice uno de los fundamentos del canon cristiano que dice que Dios es la fuente de la Moral, sino que lo hace de una manera agresiva. ¿En que sentido fue interpretada esta frase? La mentalidad  religiosa, específicamente, la de tipo evangélico fundamentalista que parece ahora permear todas las denominaciones cristianas en Estados Unidos y México, incluyendo a la católica, es un misterio para mi.

Nikolaj Aleksandrovič Notovič, known as Nicolas Notovitch (born 1858) was a Russian aristocrat, Cossack officer, spy^[1][2] and journalist. Notovitch is known for his 1887 book claiming that during his unknown years, Jesus left Galilee for India and studied with Buddhists and Hindus there before returning to Judea.^[3][4] Notovitch's claim was based on a document he said he had seen at the Hemis Monastery while he stayed there, but later confessed to having fabricated his evidence.^[5][6] Modern scholars view Notovitch's accounts of the travels of Jesus to India a hoax which includes major inconsistencies.^[6][7] Notovitch also wrote some political books on the role of Russia in war.

Notovitch claimed that he broke his leg in India and while recovering from it at the Hemis monastery in Ladakh, he learned of the "Life of Saint Issa, Best of the Sons of Men" - Isa being the Arabic name of Jesus in Islam. Notovitch's story, with the text of the "Life," was published in French in 1894 as La vie inconnue de Jesus Christ. It was translated into English,^[10] German, Spanish, and Italian.

Notovitch claimed that the chief lama at Hemis told him of the existence of the work, which was read to him, through an interpreter, the somewhat detached verses of the Tibetan version of the "Life of Issa," which was said to have been translated from the Pali. Notovitch says that he himself afterward grouped the verses "in accordance with the requirements of the narrative." As published by Notovitch, the work consists of 244 short paragraphs, arranged in fourteen chapters. The otherwise undocumented name "Issa" resembles the Arabic name Isa (عيسى), used in the Koran to refer to Jesus and the Sanskrit "īśa", the Lord.

The "Life of Issa" begins with an account of Israel in Egypt, its deliverance by Moses, its neglect of religion, and its conquest by the Romans. Then follows an account of the Incarnation. At the age of thirteen the divine youth, rather than take a wife, leaves his home to wander with a caravan of merchants to India (Sindh), to study the laws of the great Buddhas. Issa is welcomed by the Jains, but leaves them to spend time among the Buddhists, and spends six years among them, learning Pali and mastering their religious texts. Issa spent six years studying and teaching at Jaganath, Rajagriha, and other holy cities. At twenty-nine, Issa returns to his own country and begins to preach. He visits Jerusalem, where Pilate is apprehensive about him. The Jewish leaders, however, are also apprehensive about his teachings yet he continues his work for three years. He is finally arrested and put to death for blasphemy, for claiming to be the son of God. His followers are persecuted, but his disciples carry his message to the world.

Notovitch's book gained significant controversy as soon as it was published - historian Max Müller expressed incredulity at the accounts presented and suggested that either Notovitch was the victim of a practical joke, or had fabricated the evidence.^[11][12] Müller said: "Taking it for granted that M. Notovitch is a gentleman and not a liar, we cannot help thinking that the Buddhist monks of Ladakh and Tibet must be wags, who enjoy mystifying inquisitive travelers, and that M. Notovitch fell far too easy a victim to their jokes."^[5]

Muller then wrote to the head lama at Hemis monastery to ask about the document and Notovitch's story and the head lama replied that there had been no Western visitor at the monastery in the past fifteen years, during which he had been the lama there, and there were no documents related to Notovitch's story.^[5][13] Other European scholars also opposed Notovitch's account and Indologist Leopold von Schroeder called Notovitch's story a "big fat lie".^[5]
J. Archibald Douglas who was a professor of English and History at the Government College in Agra India then visited the Hemis monastery to interview the head lama who had corresponded with Müller and the lama again stated that Notovitch had never been there and no such documents existed.^[13] Wilhelm Schneemelcher states that Notovich's accounts were soon exposed as fabrications, and that to date no one has even had a glimpse at the manuscripts Notovitch claims to have had.^[6] Notovich at first responded to claims to defend himself.^[14] But once his story had been re-examined by historians, Notovitch confessed to having fabricated the evidence.^[5]

Although Notovitch had been discredited in Europe, Swami Abhedananda wrote a book called Journey to Kashmir and Tibet in which he stated that had visited Hemis and seen a document similar to the one Notovitch had mentioned, and produced a Bengali translation of parts of it.^[15] But after Abhedananda's death, one of his disciple admitted that when he went to the monsatery to ask about the documents he was told that they had disappeared.^[15]

Bart D. Ehrman, a Bible scholar and historian famous for his best sellers, says that "Today there is not a single recognized scholar on the planet who has any doubts about the matter. The entire story was invented by Notovitch, who earned a good deal of money and a substantial amount of notoriety for his hoax."

PADRE NUESTRO

Published on Nov 17, 2013

De esta oración se "derivó" la versión actual del "Padre Nuestro", la oración ecuménica de ISSA (Yeshua). Está escrita en arameo, en una piedra blanca de mármol, en Jerusalén / Palestina, en el Monte de los Olivos, en la forma que era invocada por Yeshua. El arameo fue un idioma originario de la Alta Mesopotamia (siglo VI AC), y era la lengua usada por los pueblos de la región. Yeshua siempre hablaba al pueblo en arameo.
La traducción del arameo al español (sin la interferencia de la Iglesia) nos muestra cuán bella, profunda y verdadera es esta oración de Yeshua:

PADRE NUESTRO DEL ARAMEO

Padre-Madre, Respiración de la Vida ¡Fuente del sonido, Acción sin palabras, Creador del Cosmos!
Haz brillar tu luz dentro de nosotros, entre nosotros y fuera de nosotros, para que podamos hacerla útil.
Ayúdanos a seguir nuestro camino respirando tan sólo el sentimiento que emana de Ti.
Nuestro Yo, en el mismo paso, pueda estar con el Tuyo, para que caminemos como Reyes y Reinas con todas las otras criaturas.
Que tu deseo y el nuestro, sean uno sólo, en toda la Luz, así como en todas las formas, en toda existencia individual, así como en todas las comunidades.
Haznos sentir el alma de la Tierra dentro de nosotros, pues, de esta forma, sentiremos la Sabiduría que existe en todo.
No permitas que la superficialidad y la apariencia de las cosas del mundo nos engañen, y nos libere de todo aquello que impide nuestro crecimiento.
No nos dejes caer en el olvido de que Tú eres el Poder y la Gloria del mundo, la Canción que se renueva de tiempo en tiempo y que todo lo embellece.
Que Tu amor esté sólo donde crecen nuestras acciones.
¡Qué así sea!




Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς·
ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου·
ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου·
γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου,
ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς·
τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον·
καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν,
ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν·
καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,
ἀλλὰ ρῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
[Ὅτι σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
ἀμήν.]

Πρωτότυπο στην αρχαία ελληνική γλώσσα

Πάτερ ἡμῶν,
ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς,
ἁγιασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου,
ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου,
γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου,
ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
Τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον,
δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον,
καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν,
ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφίεμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν,
καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,
ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
̓Αμήν.

Pater noster, qui es in caelis:
sanctificetur Nomen Tuum;
adveniat Regnum Tuum;
fiat voluntas Tua,sicut in caelo, et in terra.

Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie;
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
et ne nos inducas in tentationem;
sed libera nos a Malo
