Va de iglesias.

Llevamos un par de semanas viendo por la tele sin cesar, monjes budistas birmanos saliendo a manifestarse contra el poder establecido, dictatorial, parece ser. Ahí los ves, con sus trajes naranjas, con su tranquilidad y marchando valientemente frente a los soldados oficialistas.

Una estampa bastante inusual e impensable en otras latitudes.

Un bonito ejemplo para otras religiones que no se han caracterizado por colocarse del lado de la rebeldía. Y estoy pensando fundamentalmente en la católica, por cercanía. ¿Alguien recuerda que a lo largo de la historia la Iglesia católica haya participado en alguna revolución o levantamiento popular, del lado de los que sufren, en otro bando que no sea el opresor o de la indeferencia? La querencia de los mandos eclesiásticos que reflejan nuestro credo, no es otra que la de estar del lado del poderoso.

¿Os imagináis a Rouco Varela encabezando una manifestación a favor de la democracia… hace 35 años? Yo no.

Había, supongo que hay, una canción de estas de guitarras y misa que decía algo así como: “…Señor, Señor mi Dios identifícate con nosotros, no con la clase opresora que exprime y devora a la comunidad, sino con el oprimido, con el pueblo unido sediento de paz…”. Si fuese verdad, ¡cuánto más estaríamos los cristianos identificados con la jerarquía católica!

Muchas veces y sobre todo últimamente, la “jerarquía” se mete en política, más allá de la ética y la moral, con intenciones torticeras: bandera, educación, libertad sexual, el uso del preservativo… Me merece mi más sentida reprobación. Pero puede ser que alguien piense que eso es igual de inmoral que levantarse políticamente contra un Gobierno establecido, por muy dictatorial que sea.

No obstante los cambios de criterio y la flexibilidad de la cúpula eclesial católica se explican con la capacidad camaleónica del Vaticano que puede probarse en hechos tales como que al obispo de Pekín lo consensúa con el Gobierno chino.

Pero no me quiero desviar. El artículo tenía una pauta positiva, ¡qué no se pierda!. Aplaudamos a los bonzos birmanos y dejemos lo de la Conferencia Episcopal Española para el juicio de los justos.

Y además…mientras tanto se descubre que la detención de la cúpula batasuna el pasado viernes, fue en un edificio propiedad del episcopado vasco en la localidad guipuzcoana de Segura.

Demasiados sumandos para seguir creyendo en la jerarquía eclesiástica; española y mundial.

Carlos Marx había escrito aquello de "la religión es el opio del pueblo", es decir adormidera de mentes para evitar la sublevación de los pobres contra los ricos.
La teoría fue aplicada en la práctica por los regímenes totalitarios de la URSS y también en la Cuba de Fidel.
La Perestroika acabó con aquellas prácticas soviéticas y veremos qué pasa cuando desaparezca Castro.
La verdad es que el filósofo alemán pensaba en la religión oficial de su época, pero si se hubiera remontado a sus orígenes se hubiera encontrado con un Jesús de Nazaret revolucionario y muy en sintonía con la situación de los oprimidos, como muy bien recuerdas tú mismo en esa canción.
De todas formas, a lo largo de la historia siempre ha habido personajes y grupos que no eran en absoluto adictos a la "adormidera" oficial. Recordamos a Lutero, Servet, Erasmo, Galileo, Teresa de Jesús... y tantos otros para los que la religión no era precisamente "opio del pueblo", sino acicate para la lucha.
Y en la actualidad ahí está la parroquia roja de San Carlos Borromeo, a la que le has dedicado más de uno de tus blogs. Y enfrente a los Rouco, Canizares, Camino y otros, organizándose para defender sus privilegios.
Sin embargo los monjes de Birmania dan la cara o lo vida por su pueblo ante el régimen opresor de Rangún.

No puedo estar más de acuerdo con toda tu exposición. Y es cierto que hay una cosa que se me ha escapado del análisis y que veo reflejado en tus útlimas líneas. Me refiero a los intereses propios y los privilegios de la alta jerarquía eclesiástica, “religiosos pagadores” de personajes indeseables para una democracia como el profeta Federico…
Cuando uno observa sus comportamientos, los encaja en un contexto de lucha por la supremacía de una ideología retrógrada. Pero es verdad que quizá no sea así. Que la lucha no es más que egoísta, lucha por ellos y por los suyos. Por mantener un estatus de supremacía social y bienestar económico que permite a elementos religiosos vivir al margen de las donaciones de los fieles.
Lo que más me aterra es que con otros medios, la religión actual no difiere mucho de la del medievo. Sigue tratando distinto al fiel y al infiel, al adoctrinado y al innovador, al noble y al ciudadano raso.
Me entristece que gente buena de corazón se vea reflejada en este tipo de representantes eclesiásticos. Lamentable.

Greeting for the day!!

I am new to this spot. I found loads of useful information here. I would also like to contribute some thing for this community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you want to know how to lose 10 lb in a calendar week, you are likely not searching for a regular dieting and exercise plan. You can lose weight with a general diet and workout plan, Still this takes a lot of time doing intensive cardio exercises and adhering a strict diet. Here I will outline the exact steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a workweek.

1. Stay away from all deep-fried foods for the week
2. Drink an 8oz glass of Citrus paradisi with breakfast each day. (this speeds up your metabolism)
3. Eat average portions (stop consuming when you are full)
4. Instead of taking 3 large a meals a day, eat up 5-6 small meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Aviod your habbit of eating after 9 P.M.. When you eat that late your body does not burn off the calories.
6. Have a proper sleep everyday. Not having enough sleep has been proved to be a leading element to the body storing excess fat.
7. Use a body/colon clean for the 7 days. This will get rid of needless weight stored around the tummy area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that makes you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I reccomend you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is proven to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those man's/womans who wish to burn fat quickly, avoid alcohol.
10[url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips].[/url] A low GI diet is an brilliant method of loosing fat quickly.
