They have betrayed the Doctrine.

-->>Exposing private tricks through a "general letter"

-->>Definitely do not "fall" into the "trap" of dividing religion and religion.

I wonder if those religious citizens know that when they curse, threaten the government or swing sticks and throw stones at the commune People's Committee headquarters and the people inside, they are violating their own teachings.. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, translated into Vietnamese by the Catechism Committee headed by Father Augustino Nguyen Van Trinh and four religious orders in Ho Chi Minh City (Congregation of Notre Dame, Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, Congregation of Saint Paul of Chartres and Congregation of Divine Providence) based on French, English, Italian and German versions, since 1993 to educate the flock, inSection 6 - Consciencehas been clearly recorded"Man discovers in the depths of his conscience a law which he himself has not laid down for himself, but which he must obey. The voice of conscience always calls him to love and practice good and to avoid evil. This voice resonates at the right moment in his own soul... To obey this law is the dignity of man... ".

Obviously, gathering in large numbers, destroying public property, and physically harming others cannot be called"do good deeds"okay. Instead of letting“avoid evil”They rush into doing evil. Even though they always justify their actions as saving others."close friends"is being"the government illegally detained”. That is a complete fabrication. And even if that were the case, Catholic doctrine would not allow them to do that because the doctrine strictly forbids it.“Never do bad things to get good results”.

The apostle Paul lists a series of characteristics of charity:"Love is patient, love is not jealous, love is not pompous, love is not puffed up, love is not rude, love does not seek its own, love is not provoked, love thinks no evil, love does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth, love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, hopes all things."However, some parishioners of My Yen Parish have had behaviors that are beyond the norm."angry"and gloating when destroying, cursing, and insulting others. All of those actions completely go against the commandments in their doctrine.

Those are the parishioners, and with"the shepherds"So what? In their position and duty, they should try to prevent actions that go against the Catholic Church's teachings, but they are indifferent and ignore them, even taking actions that go along with them. Surely they are people who understand and have a deep understanding of Catholic teachings. So they cannot possibly not know that the teachings clearly state that"It is best to avoid anything that causes your brother to stumble.". They did not do so and even gave the “green light”I will do my best to fulfill my responsibilities. If I can't do it (demand unconditional release - PV), then you can do whatever you want..”,proactively promote to his parishioners"stumble"against the doctrine. Thus they have sinned.

According to the definition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church inSection 8 - Crimethen "Sin is an act contrary to reason, which injures human nature and violates human solidarity.”Their actions have seriously affected the solidarity between religions and has really “violating human solidarity".The Catechism also makes it clear that sin is a personal act. In addition, we are also responsible for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them by: participating directly and intentionally in ordering, inciting or approving; covering up, or failing to prevent, when we have a duty to prevent; shielding those who do evil.

Some people are on the higher level."the shepherds"On the spot, not knowing whether intentionally or unintentionally issued a "Communique" and published a "Joint Letter" slandering“The authorities entered people's homes, smashed the statues of saints on the altars, vandalized the ancestral altars, and assaulted and arrested innocent people.”So they also committed a sin. BecauseThe Bible lists many types of sins and warns against them."You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal,do not bear false witness,Do not harm anyone, honor your father and mother.The crime that some "superiors" who issued "Communiques" and "General Letters" at the Xa Doai Bishop's Palace committed was the crime of"false witness".

Thus, just analyzing and comparing a few points in the Catholic Church's Catechism has clearly shown one thing: all the actions and words of some parishioners in My Yen Parish and some people in their leadership positions, in their behavior towards the incident of disturbing social order and opposing the government in Nghi Phuong commune, have seriously violated both the law and the Catholic Catechism. To be exact, they have committed acts of betrayal against their own Catechism. This is something that true, God-fearing, patriotic parishioners will never accept.

As the Catechism of the Catholic Church has admonished“Everyone must contribute to the communities of which he is a member and must respect those in authority who are charged with the duty of promoting the common good. LifeSocial life must be considered first of all as a spiritual reality. This reality includes the exchange of knowledge in the light of truth. The exercise of rights andcycleall duties, together seek moral goodness, enjoy noble beauty in all legitimate forms, always be ready to share with others the best of ourselves and wish for each other to be increasingly spiritually enriched. These are the values ​​that must nurture and guide cultural and economic activities, social organizations, movements and political and legal institutions and all other activities of social life in its constant process of transformation”./.
