Roma, Italia, 17 de septiembre de 2024 \/ 04:00 am (CNA).<\/p>\n

San Roberto Belarmino, cuya fiesta se celebra el 17 de septiembre en el Calendario Romano General, fue un jesuita y cardenal que utiliz\u00f3 su incre\u00edble intelecto para defender la ense\u00f1anza cat\u00f3lica, en gran medida a trav\u00e9s de respuestas a los opositores de la Iglesia tras la Reforma protestante.<\/p>\n

En todos sus escritos, San Belarmino \u201cmantuvo una disputa caritativa que mantuvo el enfoque en los temas teol\u00f3gicos\u201d, seg\u00fan el padre Mitch Pacwa, SJ.<\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s de la Reforma, \u201cen su mayor parte, los cat\u00f3licos y los protestantes se respondieron unos a otros con vitriolo\u201d, dijo. \u201cSe amenazaban mutuamente; el rid\u00edculo era t\u00edpico del debate\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cY en ese contexto, San Roberto Belarmino nunca us\u00f3 el rid\u00edculo, la ira, el oprobio, los insultos ni nada por el estilo. Siempre trat\u00f3 a sus oponentes con gran respeto y caridad. Estaba convencido de que la caridad con los oponentes de la Iglesia los ganar\u00eda mucho m\u00e1s f\u00e1cilmente\u201d.<\/p>\n

Esta es una de las cosas que lo convirtieron en santo, afirm\u00f3 Pacwa.<\/p>\n

El padre Mark Lewis, S.J., rector de la Pontificia Universidad Gregoriana y experto en historia de la Iglesia, dijo a CNA que Belarmino vivi\u00f3 con sencillez, de acuerdo con su voto de pobreza.<\/p>\n

Varias congregaciones religiosas fundadas en el siglo XVI, incluida la Compa\u00f1\u00eda de Jes\u00fas, intentaban presentar un modelo de sacerdote reformado, \u201calguien que tomaba sus votos en serio, que viv\u00eda con sencillez, segu\u00eda la pobreza y estaba dispuesto a realizar misiones apost\u00f3licas\u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n

Debido a que los jesuitas, por regla general, no aceptan el honor de cardenal, en su vida temprana Belarmino evit\u00f3 ser nombrado cardenal u obispo, dijo Lewis. \u201cPero cuando fue nombrado uno, insisti\u00f3 en que ser\u00eda un modelo de prelado reformado\u201d.<\/p>\n

Belarmino fue nombrado cardenal en 1599 en una \u00e9poca en la que los obispos tambi\u00e9n eran a menudo se\u00f1ores pol\u00edticos, o gobernantes de una ciudad o pueblo, pero apoy\u00f3 a los pobres mediante la venta de sus posesiones.<\/p>\n

El cardenal y su amigo, el venerable C\u00e9sar Baronio, \u201cquer\u00edan demostrar que si vas a ser obispo, o vas a ser cardenal, es al servicio de la Iglesia\u201d, dijo Lewis.<\/p>\n

\u201cComo jesuita, ten\u00eda un voto de pobreza adem\u00e1s de obediencia. No se le permit\u00eda poseer nada. Fue formado en el ascetismo, por lo que no buscaba lujos en este mundo\u201d, dijo Pacwa, se\u00f1alando que una vez, cuando la gente en Roma sufr\u00eda de peste y hambruna, Belarmino vendi\u00f3 los tapices de las paredes de su apartamento para obtener dinero y d\u00e1rselo a los pobres. \u201cDijo que las paredes no pasar\u00e1n m\u00e1s fr\u00edo, los pobres s\u00ed\u201d.<\/p>\n

Belarmino, quien fue declarado doctor de la Iglesia en 1931, es bien conocido por haber escrito un catecismo de la fe y por sus \u201cDisputationes de Controversiis Christianae Fidei Adversus Huius Temporis Hereticos\u201d, un libro que respondi\u00f3 a los diversos temas tratados por los \u201creformadores\u201d protestantes.<\/p>\n

Respondi\u00f3 a sus argumentos utilizando las Escrituras, los Padres de la Iglesia y la tradici\u00f3n, explic\u00f3 Pacwa. \u201cEsto lo convirti\u00f3 en un pensador ordenado dispuesto a abordar los problemas de su \u00e9poca\u201d.<\/p>\n

Lewis explic\u00f3 que lo que hizo Belarmino, entonces llamado teolog\u00eda controversial, probablemente hoy se llamar\u00eda \u201cteolog\u00eda dogm\u00e1tica\u201d. Aunque probablemente no fue visto como un di\u00e1logo en la \u00e9poca de Belarmino, argument\u00f3 Lewis, lo fue: \u201cEstaba desarrollando respuestas a la teolog\u00eda protestante de la \u00e9poca\u201d.<\/p>\n

Antes de ser nombrado cardenal, Belarmino fue acad\u00e9mico y profesor, adem\u00e1s de rector del Colegio Romano. Uno de sus estudiantes fue San Luis Gonzaga, junto a quien, en la Iglesia de San Ignacio en Roma, Belarmino pidi\u00f3 ser enterrado.<\/p>\n

Otro amigo de Belarmino fue el c\u00e9lebre astr\u00f3nomo Galileo Galilei. Pero Belarmino \u201cera el tipo de hombre que pod\u00eda ser amigo y no necesariamente estar de acuerdo contigo\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Pacwa.<\/p>\n

Galileo hab\u00eda presentado su teor\u00eda no probada del heliocentrismo, que la Iglesia ve\u00eda como contradictoria con las Escrituras, explic\u00f3 Pacwa. Belarmino le dio una advertencia a Galileo, porque Galileo estaba afirmando la teor\u00eda como verdad absoluta sin citar pruebas cient\u00edficas espec\u00edficas que respaldaran la afirmaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan Pacwa, \u201cesta advertencia se le dio a Galileo no como una condena, y Galileo la acept\u00f3. M\u00e1s tarde hubo rumores de que Galileo hab\u00eda sido obligado a retractarse. Y tanto Belarmino como Galileo escribieron que eso no era cierto, solo que ten\u00eda que guardar silencio sobre esa afirmaci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n

Cuando Galileo fue condenado m\u00e1s tarde, fue despu\u00e9s de la muerte de Belarmino.<\/p>\n

San Roberto Belarmino fue \u201cinfatigable en su labor\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Pacwa. \u201cY trabaj\u00f3 hasta que muri\u00f3\u201d, el 17 de septiembre de 1621. Fue canonizado por P\u00edo XI en 1930.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaber mucho no hace a uno santo. No todo el mundo tiene la capacidad intelectual que ten\u00eda Roberto Belarmino. Pero la forma en que utiliz\u00f3 su magn\u00edfica capacidad intelectual es lo que lo convirti\u00f3 en santo\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Pacwa. \u201cComprometi\u00f3 su intelecto al servicio de Dios y de la Iglesia\u201d.<\/p>\n
