“Manatuʻi ʻa e taimi naʻa tau hā ngali fakapikoʻia ai ʻi ha lave pē ki he kau heló? Naʻe ʻikai hā ngali uesia ʻe he meʻa ko iá ʻa e kau ʻAmelika ʻe toko 4.2 miliona naʻa nau mamata ʻi he putu ʻo Faʻē Telesá ʻi Sep. 13. Talu ʻene mate ʻi Sep. 5, mo hono nafui ʻaki ʻe he kakaí ʻa e Vatikanó ʻa e ngaahi kole ke talaki fakaeouau ia ko ha sangata. ʻOku tokosiʻi ʻa e kakai ʻoku nau veiveiua ʻe hoko ʻa e meʻa ko iá.”—Sun-sentinel, ʻIunaite Setete, ʻOkatopa 3, 1997.

Kae kehe, mahalo pē ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe fakahaaʻi fakaʻofisiale ʻo hangē ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku fakanofo sangato ʻe he Siasi Katolika Lomá.

Ko e teolosia ʻi he ʻUnivēsiti Notre Dame ko Lawrence Cunningham ʻokú ne fakamatala: “ʻOku mahuʻingaʻia ʻa e kakaí ʻi he fakakaukau ʻoku ʻi ai ha tuʻunga fakaʻotua ʻi he māmaní. Ko e kau sangató ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e malava ke ʻi ai ha moʻui fakaehelo, naʻa mo e ʻi he ʻahó ni.” Tānaki atu ki ai, ʻoku taukaveʻi ʻoku maʻu ʻe he “kau sangató” ʻa e malava ke hū makehe ki he ʻOtuá, ʻo ʻai ai kinautolu ko e kau fakalaloa ola lelei ki he faʻahinga moʻuí. ʻI hono maʻu ha ngaahi fakatātā fakalotu pe toetoenga fakaesino ʻo ha “sangato,” ʻoku fakalāngilangiʻi ia ʻi he tui ʻoku tupu mei ai ʻa e mālohi.
