GE2025 TEC: Ewe Mungu, Tuma Roho wako, afanye upya uso wa Nchi kabla ya Uchaguzi Mkuu 2025

[Kiranga]

Kuna kitu hujaona.

If A is a cause of B and B is a cause C then A is a cause of C.

At an intentional level a fictional character has causal significance amongst those who have internalized it.

Thus, a fictional character can answer prayers indirectly through those who host it in their minds.

Hivo nikikuombea kwa Mungu wangu jiwe Ili uwe na tabia fulani, ukasikia na Kubadili tabia kwabkuwa umesikia nakuombea Mungu jiwe amejibu maomboli hata kama Wewe huamini kuwa jiwe ni Mungu. That is how symbolic interactionism works

Kwa nini uhitaji fictional character kwenye kazi unayoweza kuifanya mwenyewe?

You are not crippled, why do you need the clutches of a fictional character?

Mass mobilisation needs tools. In this case social symbols, one of which is God.

Ndio maana unaona habari ya kuabudu ekaristi. Whether Yesu yumo au hayupo that is bracketted. The significance of the eucharist is what matters to many

 

[Kiranga]

What do you mean by mass delusion? And how does that concept interface with ideological thinking, for example?

Mass delusion = Kujitengenezea Mungu ambaye hayupo ili kuweza kupambana na hali yako na yenu wakati mnaweza kupambana na hali yenu bila kumuhitaji huyo Mungu wa kutengenezwa.

Especially because Mungu is not just any fictional character, he is the center of peoples lives and beliefs. Wengine wanaweza kumuomba Mungu na kumuachia afanye kazi yake wakati Mungu hayupo in actuality, kazi hiyo wanatakiwa kuifanya wao. This is a big difference from a Chinua Achebe authored fictional character.

Ideological thinking does not need fictional characters. Marx developed Marxim based on actual class differences and struggles, without needing a fictional character.

Engels wrote "The Condition of the Working Class in England" in 1845, this is about the actual conditions of the actual working class, without needing a fictional character.

Under Marxism UTOPIA is a fictional character just as the so called the KINGDOM OF GOD is a fictional place.

And I suggest that reality is composed of brute facts falling under ontological realism plus social facts falling under social realism.

On this view money our currency is a social fact, which is real and not an illusion. So too socially constructed gods are social facts not illusions.

So the terminological part of your explanation has nuances to be ironed out so as to bring about terminological clarity.

Mnapinga vipi utawala dhalimu wa dunia hii kwa dini ambazo zina contradictions nyingi sana za kusema kila utawala wa dunia hii umeruhusiwa na Mungu, kwa dini zenye aya za kusisitiza focus kwenye uzima wa milele mbinguni na kwamba hapa duniani tunapita tu, kwa aya ambazo zina contradictions nyingi sana, hapa unaambiwa maneno ya kukufariji na kukuwezesha kujipambania, kwa kufuata makuhani waliopinga watawala dhalimu, hapa unapewa aya za kukwambia shukuru kwa kila jambo na kila utawala umewekwa na Mungu?

Unawezaje kupambana na utawala dhalimu kwa kutumia dini ambayo ina aya zenye contradictions hivi?

Huoni kwamba unapoambiwa ushukuru kwa kila jambo na kila utawala umewekwa na Mungu hapo dini inaweza kutumika kama nyenzo ya watawala kukufubaza uwezo wako wa kujipigania?

Kwa mtu anayeamini Mungu na uzima wa milele, kwa nini ajihangaishe na mapambano ya dunia hii ya mpito wakati hapa duniani si nyumbani kwetu, tunapita tu, makao yetu ya kudumu ni kwa baba mbinguni kwenye uzima wa milele?

On this, why should one not accept, for example, the Jehovah Witnesses' position of detachment from politics, voting etc and just focus on the afterlife?

Rais wa Baraza la Maaskofu Katoliki Tanzania (TEC), Askofu Wolfgang Pisa.​

KIbwagizo cha Ujumbe wa Maaskofu Katoliki Tanzania (TEC) katika Sala na Mfungo wa wa kuombea haki na amani siku ya tarehe 23 Agosti 2025, kitatoka kwenye Zaburi ya 104:30 isemayo kwamba:

“Waipeleka roho yako, Ee Bwana, Wanaumbwa upya, Nawe waufanya upya uso wa nchi” (Zaburi 104:30)

• Wanakusudia kufafanua tamko kwamba "amani ni tunda la haki, usawa, ukweli, mshikamano na ustawi wa wote.”
• Watataka “chuki ishindwe na upendo”
• Watashawishi “kisasi kiuachie nafasi msamaha”
• Watahimiza “ugomvi ugeuzwe kuwa urafiki.”
• Watahamasisha "maadui warejee kwenye mazungumzano"
• Watahanikiza "wapiganao wapeane mikono"

Hivyo, sasa ni wazi kwamba Baraza la Maaskofu Katoliki Tanzania limeamua kufuata nyayo za Mtakatifu Fransis wa Assiz, Mwalimi Julius Kambarage Nyerere, Baba wa Taifa la Tanzania, pamoja na Papa Yohane Paulo II, kuhusu ajenda ya kudumu ya kupigania haki na amani.

Katika sala yake ya kuombea haki na amani, Mtakatifu Fransis (1182–1226), mzaliwa wa Italia, anamwomba Mungu amfanye “chombo cha amani” ili aweze kugeuza chuki kuwa upendo, majeraha kuwa msamaha, mashaka kuwa imani, kukata tamaa kuwa matumaini, giza kuwa nuru, na huzuni kuwa furaha.

Mwalimu Nyerere, mwaka 1961, alizindua Mwenge wa uhuru ili autumie kama alama inayoonekana kuwakilisha ndoto yake ya “kugeuza giza la dhuluma kuwa nuru ya haki” katika Taifa jipya.

Naye Papa Yohane Paulo II, wakati wa ziara zake nchini Poland za mwaka 1979 hadi 1989, alitumia kaulimbiua iliyobeba maneno ya Mzaburi kufanikisha ajenda ya “kuufanya upya uso wa nchi” kwa kuhubiri haki na amani nchini humo. Mkakati wake ulianzia kwenye maneno ya Zaburi yasemayo kwamba, “Waipeleka Roho yako Ee Mungu, nawe waufanya upya uso wa nchi.” (Zaburi 104:30).

Huu ndio ujumbe unaosindikiza Mafungo ya Kanisa katoliki kwa ajili ya “Kuomba Haki na Amani” nchini Tanzania utakaohitimishwa tarehe 23 Agosti 2025.

Kwa ufupi, tunaweza kusema kwamba, TEC wanatembea katika nyayo zote hizi.

​

Tarehe 08 Agosti 2025, Sekretarieti ya Baraza la Maaskofu Katoliki Tanzania, yenye Makao yake Makuu Jijini Dar es Salaam, imetoa mwongozo wa kitaifa, wenye rejea namba TEC/P/05/08/25 05/08/2025, kuhusu utaratibu wa kutekeleza ratiba ya “Ratiba ya Mfungo Kuomba Haki na Amani Nchini Tarehe 23 Agosti 2025.”

Mwogozo huo unatokana na Barua ya Maaskofu Katoliki ya tarehe 19 Juni 2025 iliyotoa wito wa kuandaliwa kwa siku maalum ya “sala na mfungo” kwa ajili ya kuombea “amani” ambayo ni “tunda” la “haki, usawa, ukweli, mshikamano na ustawi wa wote.”

Pamoja na utaratibu ambao kila Jimbo litajipangia katika kutekeleza wito huo, mwongozo wa sasa unatoa mapendekezo ya kitaifa yatakayotumika kama utaratibu wa kuiadhimisha siku hii maalum kwa sala na mfungo.

Mwongozo huo kutoka Sekretarieti ya Baraza la Maaskofu Katoliki Tanzania, umesainiwa na Padre Alister Makubi, Mkurugenzi Wa Uchungaji wa TEC.

Viongozi wote wa Kanisa Katyoliki nchi nzima wanaagizwa kutekeleza mkakati wa Kanisa Katoliki wa kuombea Haki na Amani kwa kutumia mwongozo wa “Misa Namba 30.”

Misa hii inapatikana kwenye kitabu kinachoitwa “Misale ya Waumini,” zu tusema “Misale ya Kiroma,” ukurasa wa 931-932.

Kurasa hizi ndizo zinabeba ujumbe rasmi wa Kanisa Katoliki kwa Waumini wote na Taifa kwa Ujumla. Ujumbe hii umetapaa kwenye salama kadhaa zikiwemo cifuatazo:

• Sala ya kuanza ibada,
• Sala ya kuombea dhabihu,
• Sala ya Ekaristi ya Upatanisho,
• Wimbo wa Komunyo na
• Sala baada ya Komunyo.

Sala ya kuanza ibada inabeba maneno yanayomwomba Mungu, awape “amani” wamngojao na ukatuongoze “kwenye nijia ya haki”; kwamba, kwa vile amefunua kwamba “wapatanishi wataitwa wana wa Mungu,” basi asiache mwaka huu upite bila ahadi hii kutumia.

Aidha, Sala ya kuanza ibada inabeba maneno yanayomwomba Mungu atujalie uwezo wa kuimarisha “bila kukoma haki ile ambayo peke yake inaleta kwa uhakika amani ya kudumu na ya kweli”; kwamba, kwa vile anawashughulikia “watu wote kwa wema,” basi awe “radhi kuwajalia wanadamu” aliowapa “chimbuko moja wawe familia moja yenye amani’; na kwamba watu wote “waunganishwe daima kwa roho ya udugu.”

Sala ya kuombea dhabihu inabeba maneno yanayosema kwamba, sadaka ya Misa Takatifu “ambayo inatolewa kwa ishara hizi za sakramenti zinazoonyesha amani na umoja, ifae kwa kazi ya kuimarisha uelewano kati ya wana” wake wote.

Sala ya Ekaristi ya Upatanisho inabeba maneno yanayosema kwamba, “japo familia ya wanadamu imefarakana na kutengana kwa fitina, tumefahamu na kutambua kwamba wewe unaweza kulegeza mioyo, ili watu wawe tayari kupatanishwa”.

Aidha, Sala ya Ekaristi ya Upatanisho inabeba maneno yanayosema kwamba, Mungu ana uwezo wa kuishawishi “mioyo ya watu, ili maadui warejee kwenye mazungumzano, wapiganao wapeane mikono, na mataifa watafute njia ya kukutana kwa amani”; na kwamba, kwa sababu hii, basi, “chuki ishindwe na upendo, kisasi kiuachie nafasi msamaha, na ugomvi ugeuzwe kuwa urafiki.”

Wimbo wa Komunyo unabeba maneno yenye ujumbe kwamba “Heri wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu (Mt 5:9)” na kwamba “Amani nawaachieni, amani yangu nawapa, asema Bwana (Yn 14:27).”

Na sala baada ya komunyo inabeba maneno yasemayo kwamba, “tunakuomba utujalie roho ya mapendo,” ili kwa sababhu hiyo “tustawishe kwa ufanisi kati ya wote ile amani ambayo wewe mwenyewe umetuachia.”

Mnapinga vipi utawala dhalimu wa dunia hii kwa dini ambazo zina contradictions nyingi sana za kusema kila utawala wa dunia hii umeruhusiwa na Mungu, kwa dini zenye aya za kusisitiza focus kwenye uzima wa milele mbinguni na kwamba hapa duniani tunapita tu, kwa aya ambazo zina contradictions nyingi sana, hapa unaambiwa maneno ya kukufariji na kukuwezesha kujipambania, kwa kufuata makuhani waliopinga watawala dhalimu, hapa unapewa aya za kukwambia shukuru kwa kila jambo na kila utawala umewekwa na Mungu?

Unawezaje kupambana na utawala dhalimu kwa kutumia dini ambayo ina aya zenye contradictions hivi?

Huoni kwamba unapoambiwa ushukuru kwa kila jambo na kila utawala umewekwa na Mungu hapo dini inaweza kutumika kama nyenzo ya watawala kukufubaza uwezo wako wa kujipigania?

On this, why should one not accept, for example, the Jehovah Witnesses' position of detachment from politics, voting etc and just focus on the afterlife?

Scriptures have many good themes, isolated controversial verses aside.

For example the Bible has one of the best meta narratives ever known. It stretches across heaven and earth

Well it is like a double edged sword. It can be used to justify an evil regime and oust another.

In the present case MISA NA. 30 in the Roman Missal does not give a damn to any evil regime.

Just read it fully

Mfa maji. Kwanza nyie tunawachukia kama nini. Makafiri tunajua ni wapagani. Hakuna mkristo atakayeenda mbinguni never. Njoo uislam kabla kiama hakijawadia

Hakuna mtu mwenye akili timamu anaweza kujiunga na Dini ya mtu anayeonesha ana stress, desperate na hatred this way. Yaani hapa tu unaonesha Dini au Imani uliyo nayo ndo shida. Na huyu aliyeandika hivi si mpagani bora na mpagani. Huyu ni MUUMINI WA IBILISI MWENYEWE KABISA. WAPAGANI NA WAKRISTO WAPO NA HAWATAKI KABISA KWENDA KUZIMU UNAKOTAKA KWENDA.

TEC inatumika vibaya na Fr Kitima.
Mustakabali wa nchi ndiyo ataujuwa Padri Kitima? Mbona ya kwake yanamshinda!!

Aamue moja avue mavazi ya altareni kama Dr Slaa aje kwenye mapambano. Asitumie madhabahu kutetea itikadi yake ya CHADEMA.

Nami pia ni MKATOLIKI kindakindaki na natoa zaka na sadaka kwa muujibu wa amri za kanisa. Nasali Parokia ya Msewe

Lakini sikubaliani na msimamo wa TEC kwenye mambo ya Serikali, ni Fr Kitima ndiyo anawapoteza

Mimi ni mkatoliki, Father Kitima anatukwaza wengi katika ukatoliki wetu kudhani kwamba hisia zake za kisiasa zinawakilishwa na kanisa zima.

Kuiombea nchi ni kitu chema sana lakini lengo likiwa na uhusiano na siasa za kuipinga CCM kana kwamba wote makanisani tuna kadi za CHADEMA au tupo nae kihisia, kwa kweli hapo anatukosea.

Alipinga uwekezaji wa DP World bila ya kujua kwa kina ni kipi kinachokwenda kufanyika. Hivi sasa bandari inaingiza mabilioni ya pesa kwenye hazina, yeye na wote wenye mitazamo hasi wapo kimyaaa kabisa.

Alipata aibu kwa kuutafsiri vibaya mkataba na akaisoma tafsiri hiyo potofu makanisani!!, baadae ikaja kutangazwa tender ya uendelezaji wa bandari ya Bagamoyo. Ile ilikuwa ni aibu kwake na bahati nzuri kwenye nafasi za kanisa hakuna suala la kiongozi kujiuzulu, alipaswa aachie ngazi kwa kupotosha mamilioni ya wakatoliki kwa suala ambalo halielewi vyema.

Under Marxis UTOPIA is a fictional character.

And I suggest that reality is composed of brute facts falling under ontological realism plus social facts falling under social realism.

On this view money our currency is a social fact, which is real and not an illusion. So too socially constructed gods are social facts not illusions.

So the terminological part of your explanation has nuances to be ironed out so as to bring about terminological clarity.

Is Utopia essentially a character or a proposed idea? If I grant you that we can entertain pure ideas as characters (I am struggling to find the idea of a haunting silence as a character in a movie. Perhaps we should define what a character is).

If Utopia is attainable, but we just did not perfect the means to atttain it, is that still a fictional character? Or does it seem fixtional because we simply haven't attained it?

I am aware that money and currency are manufactured realities. In fact evwn the ideas of corporations and nation states are manufactured realities. Dr. Harari talks extensively about this in "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" and "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow". Money solve problems that would be hard to solve otherwise. Money holds value, is a unit of account, it is a unit of exchange.

Corporations and nation states do the same.

Outside of mass ignorance, the God idea is irrelevant. It is only relevant because of human ignorance and penchant for superstistious mass delusion.

Why are you entertaining that idea instead of eradicating that ignorance?

 

[Kiranga]

Scriptures have many good themes, isolated controversial verses aside.

For example the Bible has one of the best meta narratives ever known. It stretches across heaven and earth

Well it is like a double edged sword. It can be used to justify an evil regime and oust another.

In the present case MISA NA. 30 in the Roman Missal does not give a damn to any evil regime.

Just read it fully

So why are you using a mental model that is essentially self contradicting while you can totally avoid it and focus on an examination, narrative and model that is logically consistent and/ or at least tries to avoid self contradiction?

Sala ya kuanza ibada inabeba maneno yanayomwomba Mungu, awape “amani” wamngojao na ukatuongoze “kwenye nijia ya haki”; kwamba, kwa vile amefunua kwamba “wapatanishi wataitwa wana wa Mungu,” basi asiache mwaka huu upite bila ahadi hii kutumia.

Aidha, Sala ya kuanza ibada inabeba maneno yanayomwomba Mungu atujalie uwezo wa kuimarisha “bila kukoma haki ile ambayo peke yake inaleta kwa uhakika amani ya kudumu na ya kweli”; kwamba, kwa vile anawashughulikia “watu wote kwa wema,” basi awe “radhi kuwajalia wanadamu” aliowapa “chimbuko moja wawe familia moja yenye amani’; na kwamba watu wote “waunganishwe daima kwa roho ya udugu.”

Sala ya kuombea dhabihu inabeba maneno yanayosema kwamba, sadaka ya Misa Takatifu “ambayo inatolewa kwa ishara hizi za sakramenti zinazoonyesha amani na umoja, ifae kwa kazi ya kuimarisha uelewano kati ya wana” wake wote.

Sala ya Ekaristi ya Upatanisho inabeba maneno yanayosema kwamba, “japo familia ya wanadamu imefarakana na kutengana kwa fitina, tumefahamu na kutambua kwamba wewe unaweza kulegeza mioyo, ili watu wawe tayari kupatanishwa”.

Aidha, Sala ya Ekaristi ya Upatanisho inabeba maneno yanayosema kwamba, Mungu ana uwezo wa kuishawishi “mioyo ya watu, ili maadui warejee kwenye mazungumzano, wapiganao wapeane mikono, na mataifa watafute njia ya kukutana kwa amani”; na kwamba, kwa sababu hii, basi, “chuki ishindwe na upendo, kisasi kiuachie nafasi msamaha, na ugomvi ugeuzwe kuwa urafiki.”

Wimbo wa Komunyo unabeba maneno yenye ujumbe kwamba “Heri wapatanishi, maana hao wataitwa wana wa Mungu (Mt 5:9)” na kwamba “Amani nawaachieni, amani yangu nawapa, asema Bwana (Yn 14:27).”

Na sala baada ya komunyo inabeba maneno yasemayo kwamba, “tunakuomba utujalie roho ya mapendo,” ili kwa sababhu hiyo “tustawishe kwa ufanisi kati ya wote ile amani ambayo wewe mwenyewe umetuachia.”

Bado hawajasema Hadi waseme 😁😁

Bahati nzuri Mungu hafanyii kazi mambo ya wanafiki au mnafiki wanampigania aliyeko jela.

Hadi Sasa wanaendelea kuumbuka Kila walilopanga limeshindikana and so wakampige Mungu Sasa.

TEC wanatakiwa kuelewa kwamba Mungu ndio kamuweka SSH kuwa Rai Hadi 2030 na hawana Cha kufanya zaidi ya kukubaliana na Hali halisi na kumuomba Rais na Nchi na si ego zao.

 

[Doctor Mama Amon]

Is Utopia essentially a character or a proposed idea? If I grant you that we can entertain pure ideas as characters (I am struggling to find the idea of a haunting silence as a character in a movie. Perhaps we should define what a character is).

If Utopia is attainable, but we just did not perfect the means to atttain it, is that still a fictional character? Or does it seem fixtional because we simply haven't attained it?

I am aware that money and currency are manufactured realities. In fact evwn the ideas of corporations and nation states are manufactured realities. Dr. Harari talks extensively about this in "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" and "Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow". Money solve problems that would be hard to solve otherwise. Money holds value, is a unit of account, it is a unit of exchange.

Corporations and nation states do the same.

Outside of mass ignorance, the God idea is irrelevant. It is only relevant because of human ignorance and penchant for superstistious mass delusion.

Why are you entertaining that idea instead of eradicating that ignorance?

Questions about transcendetal reality fall under metaphysical, soteriological and axiological ultimate realities. The concept GOD when personified is very close to these three realities combined. No sane human being can do away with such a struggle ultimate realities, call it whatever. So understood we can speak of a UTOPIAN GOD, CHRISTIAN GOD, and so on. It is just difference in naming.

 

[Doctor Mama Amon]

For the past sixty years of independence we have been struggling to craft an alternative meta narrative of TANZANIANISM. How far have we succeeded? The christian meta narrative stands at the top of comparison so far. Give me an alternative and I shall abandon it today
