「愛のよろこび」の批判文書、署名者リストが明るみに
ジョシュア・マッケルウィー 2016/7/22
ローマ発: 教皇フランシスコが発表した、家庭生活についての使徒的勧告に対する批判文書は、これまで署名者の名前が明らかにされていなかったが、(NCRの取材で)署名者の中には、教区神学校の教授や教皇庁アカデミー会員、それにアフガニスタンの教会組織のトップが含まれていることが判明した。
署名者らは世界中のカトリック枢機卿に手紙を送り、教皇フランシスコの使徒的勧告「愛のよろこび」によって引き起こされる「カトリックの信仰、倫理への危険に対して行動をとるよう」求めている。
この手紙は、「愛のよろこび」に対する広範囲な反対意見を示すものとして、今月上旬にメディアに取り上げられた。手紙はアンジェロ・ソダーノ枢機卿団議長に送られ、次いで218人の枢機卿、大司教にも送られた。
この手紙を取りまとめた人物はその全文や署名者の氏名を明らかにしなかったが、NCRは、署名者のリスト、および13ページにわたる手紙に添えられた、署名者の意見の短いメモを入手した。
署名者の中には、完全な司教区を持たないアフガニスタンの独立教区長のBarnabite Fr. Giovanni Scalese も含まれている。
訳注: mission sui iuris : 独立教区または無任所教区。カトリック教徒の数が少ない国や地域、あるいは辺境地域に置かれる仮の教区。世界的にも数が少なく、アジアではアフガニスタン、タジキスタン、トルクメニスタンの3か所だけである。トップはEcclesiastical Superior と呼ばれ、名目上司教、大司教、または枢機卿の扱いを受けることもある。実際にはバチカン直轄、あるいは他の教区の管轄下に置かれることが多い。
Scalese教区長 は27日、NCRに対し「手紙の内容に賛成だったのでサインしただけだ。」と語った。
彼はこう続ける。「私の印象として(断定する立場ではないが)「愛のよろこび」は、その意図に反して、正統的な教義の進展と言うよりも、従来の教えから大きく逸脱しているように感じる。」
その他の署名者には次のような名前がある。
・Luke Gormally:前アヴェマリア法律学校の研究教授。また、教皇庁生命アカデミーの通常メンバー。
・聖ヴィンセント・フェレーレ兄弟会の何人かのメンバー。この修道会は1979年、教皇ヨハネ23世を異端とする考えを一部含む意向で創立されたが、1988年にバチカンと和解している。
・何人かの、教区や修道会神学校の教授たち。その中には、デンバーの聖ヨハネ・ヴィアンネ神学校のAlan Fimister、マサチューセッツのMaronite Monastery of the Most Holy Trinityの
Fr. Robert Nortzがいる。
・非営利の教育団体「ローマン・フォーラム」の何人かのメンバー。教皇パウロ6世の回勅「フマネ・ヴィタエ」を擁護するために1968年に創立された団体。
手紙に添えられた署名者全員のリストは末尾に記す。
署名者たちが枢機卿に宛てた短いメモによれば、「愛のよろこび」は「見方によっては、カトリックの信仰と倫理に反すると受け取られかねない多くの見解を含んでいる。」と言う。
そして次のように求めている。「我々は、枢機卿や大司教が教皇に対して、文書(手紙)にリストアップした誤りが不適切であったと、確固たる最終的態度で認めること、そして、『愛のよろこび』を信じたり、真実と受け取ったりする必要がないことを、権威をもって宣言するよう請願することを要求する。」
「愛のよろこび」は、2014年と2015年の2回、「家庭生活」をテーマにバチカンで開かれた
シノドスを受けて、教皇フランシスコが発表した使徒的勧告である。
この使徒的勧告は、世界中の聖職者に対して、彼らの生活を「素晴らしい複雑さ」に変え、家族が直面する、困難で、時には従来の慣習に当てはまらない状況に接しても、神の恩寵を受け入れて働くよう求めている。
この勧告に対して、カトリック内部から、ここ数10年間にはほとんど見られなかったほどの激しい批判が起きている。
特に激しい非難が集中しているのは、司祭に対して、婚姻無効宣言を受けないまま離婚し再婚した人々に、「司牧的憐みの論理」を適用するよう求めている部分である。
今回明らかにされた枢機卿への手紙の署名者リストと短い説明文からは、このグループが、教皇フランシスコの文書と教皇職に対する中心的な反対勢力を組織しようとしていることが読み取れる。
署名者の一人は、NCRに宛てた短いEメールで、署名の理由を次のように説明している。
「教皇庁が発信するシグナルと教皇のそれとが“混信”状態のため、信者は明快さと一貫性を求めている。」
「教会の歴史的な教えと異なる解釈(翻訳)を招き易い声明は、修正主義者たちを喜ばせるかもしれないが、教会の使命の正しさや、忠実な信者にとっての助けにはならない。」デトロイト大司教区聖心大神学校の哲学教授Paul Blosser はこう語る。
オックスフォード大学聖ベネット・ホールの哲学教授団の一員で、署名者グループのスポークスマンを務めるジョゼフ・ショウ(Joseph Shaw)は、「彼らの主たる要求は、教皇が、自分の文書の解釈(翻訳)のいくつかが間違っていると表明することにある。」と語る。
「この文書(「愛のよろこび」)は意図するほどに明快ではない。」とショウは言う。「緊急の問題は、当然ながら、ある人たちがこの文書を利用して、教会の教えに明らかに反する立場や、トレント公会議や他の権威ある出典で誤りがないと教えられている確定的な教義に反する立場を擁護している点だ。」
「枢機卿たちに求めているのは、教皇に対して、解釈(翻訳)の或る部分が誤っていることを明らかにするよう要求することだ。」と彼は続ける。「また、何が信仰に反するものかを示し、トレント公会議の教えが今も教会の教えであることを示すよう教皇に要求して欲しいのだ。」
ショウによれば、とりまとめ人としては個々の枢機卿からの返事を期待してはいない。むしろ彼ら高位聖職者には、手紙を書いた仲間ではなく、教皇その人と話をして欲しいのだと言う。

Signers of document critiquing 'Amoris Laetitia' revealed
Joshua J. McElwee | Jul. 22, 2016
ROME An until now unpublished list of names attached to a critique of Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation on family life shows the signatories to include professors at diocesan seminaries, a member of a pontifical academy, and the head of the church's ecclesiastical structure in Afghanistan.0
The signatories had sent a letter to the world's Catholic cardinals asking them to "respond to the dangers to Catholic faith and morals" from Francis' Amoris Laetitia ("The Joy of Love")
The letter, which attracted press coverage earlier in the month as a possible sign of wider disagreement with Amoris Laetitia, was sent to Italian Cardinal Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of Cardinals, and to 218 individual cardinals and patriarchs.
While organizers of the effort have not made the full document or the signatories' names public, NCR obtained a copy of the list of signatures and a short note the signers attached to a 13-page document they sent the cardinals explaining their views.
Among the signers is Barnabite Fr. Giovanni Scalese, the superior of the church's mission sui iuris in Afghanistan, which does not have a full diocese.
"I signed the letter simply because I agreed with its contents," Scalese said in an email to NCR Wednesday.
"I have the impression (but it's not for me to judge) that [Amoris Laetitia] does not constitute, as it might wish, a legitimate doctrinal development but rather a substantive breach with preceding teaching," he continued.
Among other signatories of the letter:
・Luke Gormally, a former research professor at the Ave Maria School of Law who is also an ordinary member of the Pontifical Academy for Life;
・Several members of the Fraternity of St. Vincent Ferrer, a religious order which was founded in 1979 partly on the belief that Pope John XXIII had committed heresy but reconciled with the Vatican in 1988;
・Several professors at diocesan or religious order seminaries, including: Alan Fimister of St. John Vianney Seminary in Denver and Fr. Robert Nortz of the Maronite Monastery of the Most Holy Trinity in Massachusetts;
・Several members of a non-profit organization of academics called The Roman Forum, founded in 1968 to defend Pope Paul VI's encyclical Humanae Vitae.
The full list of names, as it appears on the document, is below.
In their short note to the cardinals, the letter's signatories state that Amoris Laetitia "contains a number of statements that can be understood in a sense that is contrary to Catholic faith and morals."
"We request that the Cardinals and Patriarchs petition the Holy Father to condemn the errors listed in the document in a definitive and final manner, and to authoritatively state that Amoris Laetitia does not require any of them to be believed or considered as possibly true," they ask.
Amoris Laetitia was released by Francis as a response to the discussions of the two meetings of the Synod of Bishops he held at the Vatican in 2014 and 2015 on issues of family life.
The document, which asked the world's Catholic clergy to let their lives become "wonderfully complicated" by embracing God's grace at work in the difficult and sometimes unconventional situations families face, has been criticized by Catholics at a level virtually unseen against papal documents in decades.
Critics have been particularly harsh on the document's call for Catholic priests to use "the logic of pastoral mercy" when dealing with persons who have divorced and remarried without first obtaining annulments.
Revelation of the list of signatories to the letter to the cardinals and their short explanatory note gives insight into which groups appear to be organizing the main opposition to Francis' document and papacy.
One signatory said in a short email statement to NCR that he signed the letter because "there are mixed signals emanating from Rome and this Pontiff, and the Catholic faithful need a reassuring clarity and consistency."
"Statements that lend themselves to being interpreted at odds with the church's historical teaching may delight revisionists, but they are not helpful to the integrity of the church's mission or to the faithful," said Paul Blosser, a philosophy professor at the Detroit archdiocese's Sacred Heart Major Seminary.
Joseph Shaw, a member of the philosophy faculty at Oxford University's St. Benet's Hall who was a signer and is acting as the group's spokesman, said they mainly want the pope to clarify that some of the interpretations of his document are incorrect.
"The document is not as clear as one would like," said Shaw. "What's urgent of course is that some people are using the document to support positions which are clearly contrary to the teaching of the church, contrary to identifiable doctrines, such as those taught infallibly by the Council of Trent or other authoritative sources."
"What we're asking the cardinals to do is to request of the Holy Father that he make it clear that some interpretations are wrong," he continued. "That what was contrary to the faith remains so, what the Council of Trent taught remains the teaching of the church."
Shaw said the organizers are not expecting a response from individual cardinals, as they have asked the prelates to speak to the pope and not the writers of the letter.
