Pero en Colombia, la gran mayor\u00eda de las parejas cat\u00f3licas (afortunadamente) no sigue esa doctrina papal y recurre a diversos m\u00e9todos anticonceptivos. Igualmente, millones de parejas cat\u00f3licas conviven y tienen hijos sin haberse casado, a pesar de que esa situaci\u00f3n es considerada pecaminosa por el catolicismo.<br \/>\nUn buen n\u00famero de estos cat\u00f3licos no sigue las doctrinas papales no por falta de voluntad o de fe, pues su religiosidad es fuerte y genuina. Y por ello no sienten culpa sino que justifican su opci\u00f3n con palabras como las siguientes: \u201cYo soy cat\u00f3lico, creo en Cristo y respeto al papa, pero en estos temas sexuales la doctrina eclesi\u00e1stica es muy atrasada y no tengo por qu\u00e9 seguirla; una cosa es la interpretaci\u00f3n que el papa y los obispos hagan de la Biblia y otra cosa es lo que yo creo, a partir de mi comprensi\u00f3n personal de las ense\u00f1anzas de Cristo\u201d.<br \/>\nEste tipo de respuestas es respetable y representa un progreso democr\u00e1tico pues fortalece el pluralismo y la autonom\u00eda personal. Ninguna autoridad, ni pol\u00edtica ni religiosa, deber\u00eda imponernos su criterio en conductas tan \u00edntimas como la moralidad sexual. Pero esta defensa de estos cat\u00f3licos de su posibilidad de discrepar frente al magisterio de la Iglesia y frente a las doctrinas papales no deja de ser parad\u00f3jica, pues parece propia de un protestante. En efecto, una de las grandes tesis de la reforma protestante es que la interpretaci\u00f3n de la Biblia es un asunto personal, mientras que el catolicismo considera que la interpretaci\u00f3n verdadera de la Biblia es establecida por el papa y los obispos. Uno de los momentos decisivos de la Reforma fue entonces cuando Lutero tradujo al alem\u00e1n la Biblia, a fin de que todos pudieran leerla e interpretarla directamente.<br \/>\n\u00bfSer\u00e1 que un cierto esp\u00edritu de la Reforma protestante se est\u00e1 instalando en el catolicismo? Puede que no sea as\u00ed y que sean otras las razones que explican la distancia entre las doctrinas papales y el comportamiento sexual de millones de cat\u00f3licos. Pero la pregunta parece relevante: \u00bfqu\u00e9 importancia espiritual tiene hoy el papa para ese n\u00famero creciente de cat\u00f3licos, que defienden, y con raz\u00f3n, su autonom\u00eda moral y religiosa?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The questions seems stupid, since the designation of a new pope or his visit to any place is always a big event, even when it is in countries of a small catholic population.
