Gukurwaho kwe kubaye nyuma yuko Papa Francis avuze ku “isubira inyuma” rya bamwe mu bayobozi bo muri Kiliziya Gatolika bo muri Amerika.

Muri Nyakanga (7) uyu mwaka, yaburiye ko “ukuri kw’ibanze” kwinshi kw’inyigisho Gatolika kwarimo guhura n’imbogamizi, harimo n’ayo yise amagerageza yo “gutesha agaciro” ugushyingiranwa “nkuko kwashyizweho n’Imana” ko kuba gusa hagati y’umugabo n’umugore.
Yanenze amagerageza “yo mu kajagari” y’abantu “bahakana imiterere yabo ntashidikanywaho yo mu buryo bw’ibinyabuzima bahawe n’Imana”.
Ibaruwa ye yumvikanishije ko amagerageza yo guhindura “ibidashobora guhindurwa” yatuma habaho gucikamo ibice kudasubirwaho (kudashobora gusanwa) muri Kiliziya. Yaburiye ko abashaka impinduka “ni bo nyakuri bashaka gucamo ibice” Kiliziya.
Musenyeri Strickland yari arimo gukorwaho iperereza na Vatican ndetse mbere yari yaranze akanya yahawe ko kwegura, no mu ibaruwa ifunguye yo muri Nzeri (9) yakabije Papa ngo amwirukane.

Muri uyu mwaka, urugaga rw’abahezanguni bakomeye ku bya kera ruzwi nka “Coalition for Canceled Priests” rwakoze inama yo kumushyigikira muri iryo perereza.
Vatican yavuze ko icyemezo cyo kumwirukana “cyabaye nyuma yo gusurwa mu ivugabutumwa kwategetswe na Papa muri Kamena (6) umwaka ushize muri Diyosezi ya Tyler”. Ibitangazamakuru bya Kiliziya Gatolika bivuga ko iryo perereza ryanarebye ku bibazo by’imicungire y’imari muri iyo diyosezi.
Musenyeri Strickland, w’imyaka 65, yagizwe Musenyeri mu mwaka wa 2012, ubwo Benedicto wa XVI yari Papa.

Ubwo yavugiraga mu nama y’umunsi mpuzamahanga w’urubyiruko i Lisbonne muri Portugal, Papa yavuze ko ugusubira inyuma kw’abantu bamwe “nta cyo kumaze”.
Yongeyeho ati: “Gukora ibi utakaza umugenzo wa nyawo [w’ukuri] ukiyambaza ingengabitekerezo zo kugushyigikira. Mu yandi magambo, ingengabitekerezo zisimbura ukwemera.”
Imihindagurikire y’ikirere na yo ni indi ngingo ikomeye y’ubupapa bwe – kuva ku nyandiko yamamaye yanditse ku bidukikije mu mwaka wa 2015, kugeza ku kuburira ko mu gihe cya vuba aha gishize ko isi ishobora kuba iri “hafi kugera ku hantu habi cyane” kubera imihindagurikire y’ikirere.
