Algunas Reflexiones Sobre el Matrimonio —
por el Padre David Greskowiak
Algunas personas pueden sentir que la decisión de
la Corte Suprema el 26 de junio para legalizar
el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo ha
redefinido la santificada y la sagrada institución
del matrimonio a lo largo de nuestro país. Déjame
decirte sin embargo que ningún cambio ha
ocurrido en la iglesia católica, nuestra iglesia, ni lo
será. El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica
afirma que el matrimonio es: "un pacto o asociación
de vida entre un hombre y una mujer, que es
ordenada para el bienestar de los cónyuges y la
procreación y la crianza de los hijos. Esta es la
antigua enseñanza de la iglesia, y ninguna persona
civil, judicial o polítical tiene autoridad para
desafiar, cambiar o interferir con él dentro de la
iglesia; y ningún católico practicante
ligeramente lo debe ignorar. Esto es tanto un asunto
de libertad religiosa y de la moralidad
personal.
La enseñanza de la iglesia sobre el matrimonio tiene
sus raíces en la Sagrada Escritura y la Ley
Natural. La ley natural es una filosofía de la ley que
dice que vinculando las normas de
comportamiento moral para los individuos y para
las sociedades se puede deducir de la
naturaleza por el simple uso de la razón humana.
Aplicando este al matrimonio podemos ver
fácilmente que por naturaleza sólo la unión de un
hombre y una mujer puede producir a niños.
Dos hombres o dos mujeres no lo pueden hacer. En
la iglesia católica, la apertura a los niños es
uno de los ingredientes necesarios para el
matrimonio. La iglesia también reconoce la
capacidad
de las parejas casadas que no tienen o no pueden
tener los niños para generar fertilidad en otras
maneras de amantes.
El Catecismo dice: “La Sagrada Escritura comienza
con la creación de hombre y mujer a imagen
y semejanza de Dios y concluye con una visión de
'el banquete de bodas del cordero.'” Ademas
dice: "Dios mismo es el autor del matrimonio . La
vocación al matrimonio está escrita en la
propia naturaleza del hombre y de la mujer quienes
se hicieron de la mano del creador.
El matrimonio no es una institución puramente
humana a pesar de las muchas variantes que pueden
haber sido sometidos a través de los siglos en
diferentes culturas, estructuras sociales y actitudes
espirituales." También observa que: "Cristo
(mismo) eligió nacer y crecer en el seno de la
Sagrada Familia de José y María".
A las personas, especialmente los católicos, que
dicen que la iglesia es antigua, obsoleta, o no en
mantenimiento con actitudes modernas hacia el
amor y el matrimonio, yo diría sin pedir
disculpas que no es nuestra iglesia que está mal,
sino más bien la aceptación del matrimonio de
personas del mismo sexo como parte de la "nueva
normalidad" que es incorrecto. La vista de la
iglesia hacia el matrimonio ha sido que el
matrimonio ha podido permanecer durante mucho
tiempo y está bien fundamentada, moralmente,
filosóficamente y teológicamente. Yo podria
comparar este punto de vista y otras enseñanzas a
lugares como el Peñón de Gibraltar, Cabo de
Hornos o un faro robusto en una costa escarpada.
No importa lo que el viento y el mar puede
hacer en cualquier momento, esos lugares todavía
están parados.
Hay mucho más que se podria decir sobre el
matrimonio, pero haría este artículo demasiado
largo. Por ahora, se espera con respecto al tema del
matrimonio, que todas las personas de fe —
jóvenes, los de mediana edad, y los mayores, que en
palabras de la oración del XIII Domingo del
tiempo ordinario: ".. .no ser envueltos en las
tinieblas del error pero siempre ser visto parados a
la luz brillante de la verdad."
