Duty to Pray for Rulers

Previous Section Next Chapter

Türkçe

İnsanların görevi, yönetimdeki insanlar için dua etmek, onları onurlandırmak, kendi vergi ve borçlarını ödemek, yasaya uygun emirlerine riayet etmek ve temiz vicdan uğruna onlara bağımlı olmaktır. Sivil yönetimlerin sergilediği imansızlık veya farklı dini görüşler, imanlıların – din adamları da dahil olmakla – onlara itaatsizlik

edebileceği veya yasal sorumlulukları yerine getirmeyeceği anlamına gelmez. Kuşkusuz Papa’nın sivil yönetimlerin üzerinde veya onların altındaki dünyevi ilişkiler kapsamında hiçbir gücü veya yargı yetkisi bulunmamaktadır. Papa’nın hiçbir zaman seküler yönetimi gasp etme, özellikle de sapkınlık veya herhangi bir başka suça idam cezası verme yetkisi yoktur.

English

It is the duty of people to pray for magistrates, to honor their persons, to pay them tribute and other dues, to obey their lawful commands, and to be subject to their authority, for conscience' sake. Infidelity or difference in religion doth not make void the magistrate's just and legal authority, nor free the people from their due obedience to him: from which ecclesiastical persons are not exempted; much less hath the Pope any power or jurisdiction over them in their dominions, or over any of their people; and least of all to deprive them of their dominions or lives, if he shall judge them to be heretics, or upon any other pretense whatsoever.
