PREŠLA GRANICE NADLEŽNOSTI
EU komisiji: Niste nadležni za misna slavlja
EU komisiji: Niste nadležni za misna slavlja
Europska komisija dala je preporuku vjernicima katoličke vjeroispovijesti diljem Europe da ne idu za Božić na misu.
Unatoč različitim mjerama koje su na snazi u svim EU zemljama sredstva javnog prijevoza i prodajni centri su puni.
Premda se odlazak na misna slavlja ne može usporediti s takvim (niti bilo kojim drugim) aktivnostima, valja reći da su vjernici u crkvi, mirni i sabrani u molivi.
Dakle, iako ne postoje razumni epidemiološki razlozi EU komisija je prekoračila svoje kompetencije i nadležnost te se uplela u nadležnost Crkve.
Davanje preporuka vjernicima o epidemiološkoj zaštiti vjernika prigodom odvijanja misnih slavlja isključivo je nadležnost mjesne Crkve što čini ravnopravno, dogovorno i u suradnji s državom.
Crkve i vjerske zajednice su do sad surađivale s vladama i kriznim stožerima a vjernici su se pridržavali mjera.
Međutim, ponašanje Europske komisije koja kršćane želi lišiti slavljenja Božića i sv. mise kao njenog središta ugrožava dosadašnju međusobnu solidarnost i suradnju.
Zato je reagiralo i Vijeće biskupskih konferencija Europske unije (COMECE) koje je jasno poručilo Europskoj komisiji kako:
- se temeljem ugovora o funkcioniranju EU (čl 17. Ugovor o funkcioniranju Europske unije) nemaju ovlasti uplitati u odnos između Crkve i država
- se potrebno savjetovati s crkvama i vjerskim zajednicama prilikom razmatranja preporuka koje imaju utjecaja na vjerska pitanja
- je poštivanje slobode vjeroispovijesti vjernika uz puno poštivanje sanitarnih zahtjeva presudan element za Crkvu u mnogim državama članicama EU-a tijekom trenutne pandemije.
Dakle, “neobvezujuće preporuke" Europske komisije vjernicima, posebno kad se donose bez savjetovanja s crkvama i vjerskim zajednicama, mogu dovesti u opasnost napore koje su posljednjih mjeseci učinile države članice EU-a, u suradnji s mjesnim crkvama i vjerskim zajednicama, kako bi se osiguralo da zdravstvene mjere budu na snazi tijekom proslava, uz izbjegavanje kršenja slobode vjeroispovijesti.”
Podržimo europske biskupe u zaštiti slobode vjeroispovijesti.
Poručite Ursuli von der Leyen da uređivanje vjerničkog života građana EU nije njena nadležnost.
Dijalog i suradnja da - nametanje preporuka ne.

Yes to dialogue and cooperation, No to imposition of recommandations
Letter to the President of the European Commission,
Ms Ursula von der Leyen

I have learned of the European Commission document dated December 2nd that recommends Christians not to attend masses for Christmas.
As you know, the Churches have cooperated with civil authorities in stopping the present pandemic.
But giving the recommendations to faithful is the sole competence of Churches and religious communities.
As kindly pointed out to you by the bishops of the European Union (COMECE)*: the Catholic Church was always available for dialogue. Especially in all matters that concern the religious life and freedom of EU citizens. They had and will cooperate for the good of all.
Therefore, a unilateral move on the part of the Commission that you took the liberty to make is not comprehensible. You gave the recommendation for matters outside your competence.
Article 17.1 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union underlines the exclusive national competence for determining the relations between Church and State and the EU's non-interference in these relations.
Freedom of religion of believers must be upheld during the current pandemic in full respect of sanitary requirements.**
Especially at a time when for so long, Christians in many European countries have been deprived of religious freedom and the right to worship.
For Christians, there is no comparing celebration of holy mass with any other activity.
Even with all restrictions and precautions due to the pandemic, many Europeans (thankfully) still go to work, still go shopping.
Therefore why do you think they should not attend to holy mass, the centre of the life of faithful, where they stand peaceful, in contemplation and prayer?
There is no epidemiological reason for such a critical derogation of religious freedom and overstepping of competence on your part.
The respect for the freedom of religion of believers is crucial during the current pandemic.
