Bishop Gabriel Malzaire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWe are rapidly growing more and apathetic to evil in our midst.\u201d This line was pinched from the speech delivered by the Bishop Gabriel Malzaire during the \u2018Match Against Crime and Violence\u2019 event on June fifth of this year.<\/p>\n

On the night of Thursday 22nd September, I gave some deliberate ear to the UWP\u2019s program. I was most amazed to have heard one of the hosts chastising the various religious leaders including the dear Bishop Malzaire. The Bishop came under severe fire from the host for his alleged reticence on the topical issues of the day. This is just the latest in a barrage of accusation hurled at the Bishop. But pastor is not as far aloft from the issues of the day as the various commentators might want to think. The truth of the matter is that the Bishop has indeed been meeting his obligations in guiding and instructing the flock \u2013 both young and old, but do we listen?<\/p>\n

One such admonition was given at\u00a0 the youth day celebration at Castle Bruce a few years back where the Bishop appealed to the youth to \u201cmove against the current of the culture.\u201d What did he mean? In that the bishop was clearly demonstrating his awareness of the dangerous trend the culture was taking. But did he find an audience, or have it all been forgotten? Did the youth take heed and acted on his advice? Well we may judge for ourselves. Some may want to corral the bishop\u2019s agenda into a restricted political box.<\/p>\n

But one must be reminded that politics is derived from the people. Politics is derived from the way we are, what we stand to accept and reject. It is derived from our degree of tolerance of deviance from the Christian ethic, of tolerance of progressive secularism and of those who live solely by the maxim: \u201cman surely shall live by bread alone.\u201d Now isn\u2019t that the \u201ccultural current\u201d the Bishop was urging us to move against? Has anybody budged? It doesn\u2019t look so, and it is that lack of movement against the deleterious cultural slide which the political climate feeds on. In essence, it is the people who are the problem, a people who would not listen. The politics merely feeds on the substrate that is provided it.<\/p>\n

Is it justifiable, then, that the Bishop should become the target of such a barrage of petitions that he should enter into the verbal fray? Certainly not! Again, if one insists on scrutiny, it would be wise to go back to the very well attended Men\u2019s Retreat at the Fatima Church in April, 2011. It should not be forgotten that the Bishop spoke for five consecutive nights to the rapt attention of the crowded hall.<\/p>\n

Of particular note was the night when he spoke to the issue of the responsibility of men in society being to live out their baptismal purpose, and to be missionary evangelizers:\u00a0 \u201cUltimately, our role is to evangelize the culture,\u201d he said, \u201c\u2026 as Christians we should be living a Christian culture; there is no such thing as a Dominican culture \u2013 if we are Christian.\u201d\u00a0 The pastor also did not hesitate to remind those present that \u201cIf there are elements not portraying this kind of living, they should be removed.\u201d Here it is quite clear that the Bishop is calling on all to purge out these properties which seek to militate against, and vitiate the evangelization mission. Since we are sentient beings endowed with the gift of conscience and reason, it must not be too difficult, hence, for all so endowed to do the right, and take the necessary purgative action.<\/p>\n

The Bishop also instructed that our duty as human beings is to transcend. As human beings we should transcend into the realm of the Spirit, into the realm of God, into the realm of Truth. Such a transcendence logically requires a rejection of all that which is not of God, all that which is not of the greater good! It calls for a rejection of all that our morally formed conscience instructs against.<\/p>\n

His Lordship did not stop there however. He went on the address the issue of leadership and the requirements thereof. As such, his he did not merely address the broad issue of the wider community responsibility, but he gave the point of leadership specific and deliberate attention also. The Bishop spoke at length on the necessary attributes and responsibilities of a leader of the community of the baptized.<\/p>\n

We were reminded that a good leader \u201cis called to be a servant leader, not merely a leader who serves\u2026 in whatever capacity; whether father, husband or wife, politician, priest, or Bishop.\u201d He held that a good leader \u201cleads by example; \u2018they [the disciples] always saw him praying\u2019\u2026 so he [Jesus] lead by example.\u201d He said later: \u201ca leader \u2026 listens and is ready to take correction.\u201d\u00a0 With respect to freedom, the Bishop insisted that \u201ca real leader frees people \u2013 not controls people,\u201d and \u201cthe freer you allow a people to be the freer you are yourself.\u201d And most importantly the Bishop insisted further that a leader \u201cmust have the courage to follow the Truth and search for the Truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, evidently, the facts bear the efforts of the Bishop out, and, as they do, it become obvious that the good Bishop is not as far removed from the issues as one might want to think. He is quite aware of the calls for the church to speak, and, indeed, he has been speaking throughout the years on the issues that really matter, on the issues that form community, that yield justice, that guide politicians. It is up to the objects of his efforts to take heed.<\/p>\n

What is becoming increasingly manifested, however, is that \u201cWe are rapidly growing more and apathetic to evil in our midst!\u201d<\/p>\n
