Beloved children, continuing our comments, we observed who Mr. Kardec did not keep away to the explanation of the paper performed by the Apostolic Catholic Church Roman and neither the Spirits that have communicated themselves through the several mediums with whom he has worked. The Spirits have not abstained from to comment, obvious and explicitamente, about the subject. These communications and messages are transcribed on the Spiritist Magazine.
To elucidate is to teach, is to instruct.
Nowadays, the spiritists act with uttermost care and delicacy on which concern these explanations. They have deprived themselves of speaking, openly, concerning the evils that it result from the sects and exotic religions, of the faith and absurd rituals. Though, analyzing the works of Kardec, we see the disposition of it, illuminating and exposing the wounds of a formal religion that so many damages caused the Humanity.
The Inquisition is still painful mark in many Spirits. And how many compulsory reincarnations to bring to the corporeal life ancient inquisitors that, today, they are the providers of sects pursuing the Spiritist Doctrine.
We certainly must respect all the beliefs, but, in our environment, we should elucidate the position of the Spiritism relatively to the other religions.
It seems to us that the spiritists of the present day, only speak about these issues, a lot of unwillingly and fearfully. However, reading Posthumous Works, we noticed the absolute spontaneity which these themes were approached. Very blessed Mr. Kardec hasn’t deprived the spiritists of this gift. The intimate illumination that has guided him, has dictated to him the liberating norms, and gave us his vision of the life and of the world, while the thought of the Spirits that has guided him and it has instructed us and it has informed.
We must give enlightenments, when necessary, to those who arrives the spiritist house. Not attacking any religion, but always instructing concerning the Spiritism.
It is already hour of the Spiritist Centers absorb this illuminating position. Being of the competence of them the task of educating in all sense their community, since it is with ethics and correction, based on the proud words of who has been and who will always be the Codifier of the Doctrine of the Spirits.
May the peace of Jesus be with you, today and always!
