주교단에 한 교황 연설, 한 문단 통째로 빠져“부유한 이가 아니라 가난한 이를 위한 교회가 되라”는 부분

프란치스코 교황은 8월 14일 저녁 한국 천주교주교회의를 방문해 이 자리에 모인 한국 주교단에게 연설했다. 이 연설문은 한국어로 번역되어 그날 교황방한위원회에서 각 언론에 배포했는데, <가톨릭뉴스 지금여기>는 이 연설문에서 한 문단이 통째로 빠진 것을 확인했다.

빠진 부분은 교황청 홈페이지에 실린 영어판 기준으로 모두 17줄 분량이다.

해당 문단은 교황이 성경에 나오는 초대교회의 상황을 예로 들며 한국 교회가 악마의 꼬드김으로 부유한 이를 위한 부유한 교회가 될 가능성을 경계하고 대신에 가난한 이를 위한 가난한 교회가 되도록 노력할 것을 권고하는 내용이다.

이 부분이 빠진 이유에 대해 <가톨릭뉴스 지금여기>는 18일 오후 주교회의에 질의했다.

이에 대해 주교회의의 한 관계자는 “일부러 빠뜨린 것은 아니다”고 밝혔다. 이 관계자는 “(처음 교황청에서 보내준 교황 연설문과는) 교황님께서 연설을 직접 하시는 자리에서 약간 달리 하셨다”며, “바티칸 측에서도 영구적인 기록을 위해 실제 하신 말씀과 맞추고자 하는 것이다. 마찬가지로 우리도 실제로 교황님이 어떻게 말씀하셨는지가 중요하므로 그에 따라 번역문을 교체할 계획을 갖고 있다”고 덧붙였다.

아래는 방한위원회에서 언론에 제공한 주교회의에서의 연설문 가운데 통째로 빠진 8번째 단락이다. <가톨릭뉴스 지금여기>는 독자의 편의를 위해 이 부분을 번역해 제공한다. 번역 원문으로는 교황청 홈페이지에 올라 있는 영어판을 썼다. 방한위원회에서 곧 더 나은 번역문이 제공되기를 바란다.

저는 가난한 이들이 복음의 핵심에 있다고 말해왔습니다. 이들은 처음부터 끝에 이르기까지 그 자리에 있습니다. 나자렛의 회당에서 예수님은 자신의 직무를 처음 시작하는 자리에서 이 점을 명확히 밝히셨습니다. 그리고 마태오 복음 25장에서 예수님이 장차 올 하늘나라에 대해 말씀하시면서 우리가 어떤 기준으로 심판을 받을지 드러내 밝히실 때, 여기에서도 우리는 가난한 이들을 봅니다. 번영의 시대에 떠오르는 한 가지 위험, 유혹이 있습니다. 그것은 그리스도인 공동체가 그저 또 다른 “사회의 일부”가 되는 위험입니다. 그리스도인 공동체의 신비적 차원을 잃고, 성체성사를 기념하는 능력을 잃으며, 그 대신에 하나의 영적 단체가 되는 위험입니다. 이 단체는 그리스도교 단체이며 그리스도교적 가치관을 가진 단체이지만 예언의 누룩이 빠진 단체입니다. 이런 일이 생기면, 가난한 이들은 더 이상 교회 안에서 자신들의 적절한 역할을 갖지 못하게 됩니다. 이 유혹에 특정 교회들과 그리스도교 공동체들이 과거 오랜 세월 동안 크게 고통을 겪어왔습니다. 어떤 사례들에서 이런 교회와 공동체들은 그 자체가 중산층이 되어서 그런 공동체의 일부가 되는 가난한 이들이 심지어 수치감을 느낄 정도가 됩니다. 이것은 영적 “번영”, 사목적 번영의 유혹입니다. 그런 교회는 더 이상 가난한 이를 위한 가난한 교회가 아니라 오히려 부유한 이들을 위한 교회, 또는 돈 많고 잘나가는 이들을 위한 중산층 교회입니다. 그리고 이는 낯선 일도 아닙니다. 이 유혹은 초대교회 때부터 있었습니다. 바오로 사도는 코린토 신자들에게 보낸 첫째 서간에서 코린토 신자들을 질책해야만 했습니다.(1코린 11,17) 그리고 야고보 사도는 이 문제를 더욱 강하고 명확하게 제기했습니다. (야고 2,1-7) 그는 이들 부요한 공동체들, 부요한 사람들을 위한 부요한 교회들을 질책해야만 했습니다. 그들은 가난한 이들을 배제하지는 않았습니다만, 그들이 누리는 생활양식 때문에 가난한 이들이 그들 공동체에 들어가기를 꺼리게끔 하였고 가난한 이들은 그런 공동체에서 편안하게 느끼지 못했습니다. 이것이 번영의 유혹입니다. 저는 여러분 주교들께서 좋은 일들을 잘 하고 있다는 것을 알기 때문에, 저는 지금 여러분을 훈계하려는 것이 아닙니다. 하지만 신앙 안에서 자신의 형제를 확인해야 할 의무를 지닌 한 형제로서, 저는 여러분께 이렇게 말하고자 합니다. 주의하십시오. 여러분의 교회는 번영하는 교회이고 매우 선교적인 교회이며 위대한 교회이기 때문입니다. 악마가 교회의 예언자적 구조 자체로부터 가난한 이들을 제거하려는 이런 유혹의 씨앗들을 뿌리도록 허용되어서는 절대 안 됩니다. 악마로 하여금 여러분이 부요한 이들을 위한 부요한 교회, 잘 나가는 이들의 교회가 되게 만들도록 허용해서는 절대 안 됩니다. (여러분의 교회가 그렇게 된다면) 그 교회는 아마도 “번영의 신학”을 펼치는 정도까지는 아니겠지만, (가난한 이를 위한 가난한 교회가 제대로 되지 못하는) 그저 그런 별 쓸모없는 교회가 될 것입니다.

I thank Bishop Peter U-il Kang for his words of fraternal welcome on your behalf. It is a blessing for me to be here and to witness at first hand the vibrant life of the Church in Korea. As pastors, you are responsible for guarding the Lord’s flock. You are guardians of the wondrous works which he accomplishes in his people. Guarding is one of the tasks specifically entrusted to the bishop: looking after God’s people. Today I would like to reflect with you as a brother bishop on two central aspects of the task of guarding God’s people in this country: to be guardians of memory and to be guardians of hope.

To be guardians of memory. The beatification of Paul Yun Ji-chung and his companions is an occasion for us to thank the Lord, who from the seeds sown by the martyrs has brought forth an abundant harvest of grace in this land. You are the children of the martyrs, heirs to their heroic witness of faith in Christ. You are also heirs to an impressive tradition which began, and largely grew, through the fidelity, perseverance and work of generations of lay persons. They were not tempted by clericalism: they were laity and they moved ahead on their own. It is significant that the history of the Church in Korea began with a direct encounter with the word of God. It was the intrinsic beauty and integrity of the Christian message – the Gospel and its summons to conversion, interior renewal and a life of charity – that spoke to Yi Byeok and the noble elders of the first generation; and it is to that message, in its purity, that the Church in Korea looks, as if in a mirror, to find her truest self.

The fruitfulness of the Gospel on Korean soil, and the great legacy handed down from your forefathers in the faith, can be seen today in the flowering of active parishes and ecclesial movements, in solid programs of catechesis and outreach to young people, and in the Catholic schools, seminaries and universities. The Church in Korea is esteemed for its role in the spiritual and cultural life of the nation and its strong missionary impulse. From being a land of mission, yours has now become a land of missionaries; and the universal Church continues to benefit from the many priests and religious whom you have sent forth.

Being guardians of memory means more than remembering and treasuring the graces of the past; it also means drawing from them the spiritual resources to confront with vision and determination the hopes, the promise and the challenges of the future. As you yourselves have noted, the life and mission of the Church in Korea are not ultimately measured in external, quantitative and institutional terms; rather, they must be judged in the clear light of the Gospel and its call to conversion to the person of Jesus Christ. To be guardians of memory means realizing that while the growth is from God (cf. 1 Cor 3:6), it is also the fruit of quiet and persevering labor, past and present. Our memory of the martyrs and past generations of Christians must be one that is realistic, not idealized and not “triumphalistic”. Looking to the past without hearing God’s call to conversion in the present will not help us move forward; instead, it will only hold us back and even halt our spiritual progress.

In addition to being guardians of memory, dear brothers, you are also called to be guardians of hope: the hope held out by the Gospel of God’s grace and mercy in Jesus Christ, the hope which inspired the martyrs. It is this hope which we are challenged to proclaim to a world that, for all its material prosperity, is seeking something more, something greater, something authentic and fulfilling. You and your brother priests offer this hope by your ministry of sanctification, which not only leads the faithful to the sources of grace in the liturgy and the sacraments, but also constantly urges them to press forward in response to the upward call of God (cf. Phil 3:14). You guard this hope by keeping alive the flame of holiness, fraternal charity and missionary zeal within the Church’s communion. For this reason, I ask you to remain ever close to your priests, encouraging them in their daily labors, their pursuit of sanctity and their proclamation of the Gospel of salvation. I ask you to convey to them my affectionate greeting and my gratitude for their dedicated service to God’s people. I urge you to remain close to your priests. Close, so that they can see their bishop often. This closeness of the bishop is not only fraternal but also paternal: as they carry our their pastoral ministry, priests often need it. Bishops must not be distant from their priests, or worse, unapproachable. I say this with a heavy heart. Where I come from, some priests would tell me: “I’ve called the bishop, I’ve asked to meet him; yet three months have gone by and I have still not received an answer”. Brothers, if a priest phones you today and asks to see you, call him back immediately, today or tomorrow. If you don’t have time to see him, tell him: “I can’t meet you because of this, that and or the other thing, but I wanted to call you and I am here for you”. But let them hear their father’s response, as quickly as possible. Please, do not be distant from your priests.

If we accept the challenge of being a missionary Church, a Church which constantly goes forth to the world and, especially, to the peripheries of contemporary society, we will need to foster that “spiritual taste” which enables us to embrace and identify with each member of Christ’s body (cf. Evangelii Gaudium, 268). Here particular care and concern needs to be shown for the children and the elderly in our communities. How can we be guardians of hope if we neglect the memory, the wisdom and the experience of the elderly, and the aspirations of our young? In this regard, I would ask you to be concerned in a special way for the education of children, supporting the indispensable mission not only of the universities, important as they are, but also Catholic schools at every level, beginning with elementary schools, where young minds and hearts are shaped in love for the Lord and his Church, in the good, the true and the beautiful, and where children learn to be good Christians and upright citizens.

Being guardians of hope also entails ensuring that the prophetic witness of the Church in Korea remains evident in its concern for the poor and in its programs of outreach, particularly to refugees and migrants and those living on the margins of society. This concern should be seen not only in concrete charitable initiatives, which are necessary, but also in the ongoing work of social, occupational and educational promotion. We can risk reducing our work with those in need to its institutional dimension alone, while overlooking each individual’s need to grow as a person – their right to grow as a person – and to express in a worthy manner his or her own personality, creativity and culture. Solidarity with the poor is at the heart of the Gospel; it has to be seen as an essential element of the Christian life; through preaching and catechesis grounded in the rich patrimony of the Church’s social teaching, it must penetrate the hearts and minds of the faithful and be reflected in every aspect of ecclesial life. The apostolic ideal of a Church of and for the poor, a poor Church for the poor, found eloquent ｅxpression in the first Christian communities of your nation. I pray that this ideal will continue to shape the pilgrim path of the Church in Korea as she looks to the future. I am convinced that if the face of the Church is first and foremost a face of love, more and more young people will be drawn to the heart of Jesus ever aflame with divine love in the communion of his mystical body.

I have said that the poor are at the heart of the Gospel; they are present there from beginning to end. In the synagogue at Nazareth, Jesus made this clear at the outset of his ministry. And when in Matthew 25 he speaks of the latter days, and reveals the criterion by which we will all be judged, there too we find the poor. There is a danger, a temptation which arises in times of prosperity: it is the danger that the Christian community becomes just another “part of society”, losing its mystical dimension, losing its ability to celebrate the Mystery and instead becoming a spiritual organization, Christian and with Christian values, but lacking the leaven of prophecy. When this happens, the poor no longer have their proper role in the Church. This is a temptation from which particular Churches, Christian communities, have suffered greatly over the centuries; in some cases they become so middle class that the poor even feel ashamed to be a part of them. It is the temptation of spiritual “prosperity”, pastoral prosperity. No longer is it a poor Church for the poor but rather a rich Church for the rich, or a middle class Church for the well-to-do. Nor is this anything new: the temptation was there from the beginning. Paul had to rebuke the Corinthians in his First Letter (11:17), while the Apostle James was even more severe and explicit (2:1-7): he had to rebuke these affluent communities, affluent Churches for affluent people. They were not excluding the poor, but the way they were living made the poor reluctant to enter, they did not feel at home. This is the temptation of prosperity. I am not admonishing you because I know that you are doing good work. As a brother, however, who has the duty to confirm his brethren in the faith, I am telling you: be careful, because yours is a Church which is prospering, a great missionary Church, a great Church. The devil must not be allowed to sow these weeds, this temptation to remove the poor from very prophetic structure of the Church and to make you become an affluent Church for the affluent, a Church of the well-to do – perhaps not to the point of developing a “theology of prosperity” – but a Church of mediocrity.

Dear brothers, a prophetic witness to the Gospel presents particular challenges to the Church in Korea, since she carries out her life and ministry amid a prosperous, yet increasingly secularized and materialistic society. In such circumstances it is tempting for pastoral ministers to adopt not only effective models of management, planning and organization drawn from the business world, but also a lifestyle and mentality guided more by worldly criteria of success, and indeed power, than by the criteria which Jesus sets out in the Gospel. Woe to us if the cross is emptied of its power to judge the wisdom of this world (cf. 1 Cor 1:17)! I urge you and your brother priests to reject this temptation in all its forms. May we be saved from that spiritual and pastoral worldliness which stifles the Spirit, replaces conversion by complacency, and, in the process, dissipates all missionary fervor (cf. Evangelii Gaudium, 93-97)!

Dear brother Bishops, thank you for all that you do. Thank you! With these reflections on your role as guardians of memory and of hope, I want to encourage you in your efforts to build up the faithful in Korea in unity, holiness and zeal. Memory and hope inspire us and guide us toward the future. I remember all of you in my prayers and I urge you constantly to trust in the power of God’s grace. Never forget: “The Lord is faithful”. We are not, but he is. “He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one” (2 Thess 3:3). May the prayers of Mary, Mother of the Church, bring to full flower in this land the seeds planted by the martyrs, watered by generations of faithful Catholics, and handed down to you as a pledge for the future of your country and of our world. To you, and to all entrusted to your pastoral care and keeping, I cordially impart my blessing and I ask you, please, to pray for me. Thank you.

2) 사람이 물질보다 더 중요하다.
3) 교회는 "영적번영"과 "사목적 번영"의 유혹을 경계해야 한다.
