Continued controversy Ringtone to Courtship of Our Lady of Solitude (19/09/2014)

of "Painful" found a lack of sensitivity of the pastor at the time to meet their demands on the establishment of a new association of the faithful in Totana |

The Brotherhood of Our Lady of Sorrows has informed his brothers brothers, through a mail sent on Wednesday 17 September, what they consider a lack of sensitivity of the priest José Ruiz Garcia at the time to meet their demands on the establishment of a new association of the faithful in Totana.

Literally, the letter reads:

Dear Brothers:

As you know from previous communications, has recently been presented in Totana a new Association, the Procession of Our Lady of Solitude.

His directive seeks to justify its formation based on an alleged recovery of a lost invocation, the La Soledad, and it shamelessly invents a past and a story which is nothing but the very La Dolorosa, which, as is sufficiently established is centuries the Brotherhood of Our Lady of Solitude or Dolorosa.

After this unfortunate act of usurpation of our history and name, our directors met with the pastor of the parish of St. James Major and Chaplain of our brotherhood, José Ruiz García, on 2 September, the previously had asked him not to allow them to be held, or at least suspend, acts of presentation of Courtship.

Unfortunately, that meeting was quite barren, and the feeling behind it was that our chaplain greeted us, but we did not listen;

went ignored and belittled.

We were not offered explanations;

our centuries of history apparently mean nothing to him.

His mind was made ​​up and nothing was going to change his mind, because his position in favor of Courtship is total and absolute.

Friendship is above reason, truth, ethics, morality and camaraderie among Nazarenes.

The disappointment at his words was enormous, as we understood, perhaps naively, that his attitude should be to appease, and try to reach consensus on some point of understanding.

Instead, we are faced with the authority and hierarchy.

After that, we did not wonder too that the presentation the scapulars and imposing procession was held in the very Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows.

The message was clear: not only is the act is suspended, but we're going to celebrate in your own home.

Perhaps lacking some tact in the choice of location.

With these attitudes, one can wonder that, at continuing reports of the board of the Association Courtship and parish priest of the interest of this association is not to procesionar but to do acts of charity, we ask some questions:

1st.

Why do you need a dedicated and La Soledad precisely to make them on your behalf?

Do not you can work with Caritas, for example, without getting a scapular?

A laudable action like that, what more need people willing to work for others?

2 °.

Why Chapter II of the statutes is entitled, literally: "CHAPTER II PURPOSES NEST AND PARTICIPATION IN EASTER PROCESSION." And includes Article 9, which states among its annual events a 'procession with the image owner "?

You really still someone still believes that the intent of this partnership is not the processions at Easter?

3 °.

Why any of the members of its board, before starting all this public backlash against their Association (remember that almost no president of the Brotherhood of the council attended his presentation) had stated that the intention is procesionar Holy Saturday with presiding Dolorosa Chapel of Sorrows?

4 °.

Why insignia used as a heart with a dagger badge formerly worn by Brothers of Our Lady of Sorrows and yet many of us still wearing our coats in the processions of Holy Week?

5 °.

Why, if you claim not to have anything to do with Easter, the preamble to its charter, any and all references are to the Easter Totana?

And the last and greatest:

6 °.

Why do not access constituted under any other invocation, any other that is not already represented in Totana, which this conflict of interest would be resolved in an instant?

If, knowing that they have chosen the title offends a Brotherhood in particular, and by extension many brothers and totaneros, how hard is to choose another?

How hard is it to reverse?

So our request is outlandish?

Transmitted back to our pastor's need to mediate in this situation, seeking points and no debonding, working to return to harmony and all who are part of the parish we feel loved and respected.

We are confident that you will eventually reach an understanding that will prevent this situation continues over time and that the coexistence of the great family of the Church in Totana suffer irreparable damage.

Finally, we take this opportunity to publicly thank the many signs of affection that we are receiving emails and messages of consternation about what is happening and the unconditional support of both brothers as the great majority of the Nazarene world Totana.

Since it can not be otherwise, we will keep you informed on this subject.

Best regards,

Directors of the Brotherhood of Our Lady of Sorrows.
