Gusa, kimwe n’abandi bapapa, abemera Kiliziya Gatolika bahora bibaza niba mu gihe kizaza, Papa Francis ashobora kuba umutagatifu (beatification) cyangwa Mutagatifu wemewe.

Uko Kiliziya Gatolika ifata ibyo kumenya umuntu ukwiriye kuba umutagatifu
Muri Kiliziya Gatolika, kugira umuntu umutagatifu ni igikorwa gikomeye cy’ibikorwa by’isengesho n’umuhango w’ubutagatifu.

Hazagenderwa kuki ngo abe umutagatifu?
Ibi ni byo bizashingirwaho:
Imirimo ya Papa Francis: Gufasha abakene, guhangana n’ingaruka z’ubukene, gushyigikira abagore n’abana, no gushishikariza Abakirisitu guharanira amahoro no kwiyunga.

Papa Francis yahisemo kugaragaza uburyo bwo gushyira imbere ubumuntu, kurwanya ubukene, no gukora ibikorwa by’urukundo kugira ngo Abakirisitu barusheho kugera ku butagatifu. Kwitangira gukemura ibibazo by’abafite intege nke ndetse n’ubumuga, ni imiyoborere ijya mu rwego rw’umutagatifu w’ibikorwa byiza.

Umuhango wa Beatification na Canonization:

Gukora ibikorwa by’ibitangaza nyuma yo gupfa k’umupapa ni intambwe y’ingenzi kugira ngo agere ku rwego rwo kuba umutagatifu.

Kuba Papa Francis ashobora kugera ku rwego rwa beatification cyangwa canonization, bizaterwa n’ibimenyetso by’ubutagatifu bizasuzumwa mu gihe gito cyangwa mu bihe biri imbere. Abakirisitu bemera ko ibikorwa bye by’urukundo no kugerageza guharanira imibereho myiza bishobora kumugeza ku mutagatifu mu bihe bizaza.

Birashoboka ko Papa Francis yazaba umutagatifu, ariko ibi kubigeraho bizaterwa n’imyitwarire yagize akiri mu mwanya w’umupapa, ibyo yakoze n’imirimo y’igitangaza (miracles) azaba yarakoze nyuma y’urupfu rwe. Kiliziya Gatolika izakomeza gukorana ubushishozi bwimbitse mbere y’uko afatwa nk’umutagatifu, ariko ku buryo bw’ibanze, abemera bagaragaza ko Papa Francis azaba umuntu w’indashyikirwa mu bihe biri imbere.
