Ibintu By'Ukuri
Igihe aba Saxons bigaruriraga Ubwongereza, igihugu cyategetswe n’ubupagani. Abo
bafashe icyo gihugu basuzuguye guhabwa inyigisho n’abacakara babo bituma abakristo
biyemeza guhungira mu misozi no mu bisambu. Nyamara nubwo uwo mucyo wamaze igihe
uhishwe wakomeje kumurika. Mu kinyejana cyakurikiyeho, uwo mucyo wamuritse muri
Scotland cyane ku buryo wasakaye no mu turere twa kure. Haje umunyabwuzu witwa
Columba na bagenzi be baturutse muri Ireland begeranya abizera Kristo bari baratataniye ku
kirwa cyari cyonyine cyitwa Iona, maze aho hantu bahagira ihuriro ry’umurimo
w’ibwirizabutumwa. Umwe muri abo babwirizabutumwa yubahirizaga Isabato yemewe na
Bibiliya, bityo abahatuye bigishwa uko kuri. Kuri icyo kirwa cya Iona hashinzwe ishuri
ryasohokagamo ababwirizabutumwa batigishaga ubutumwa bwiza gusa muri Scotland no mu
Bwongereza, ahubwo bajyaga kubwigisha no mu Budage, mu Busuwisi ndetse no mu
Butariyani.
Nyamara Roma yari ihanze ijisho ku Bwongereza maze yiyemeza kubwigarurira ngo
ibutegeke. Mu kinyejana cya gatandatu, abavugabutumwa b’Abanyaroma batangiye igikorwa
cyo guhindura abakristo aba Saxons bari abapagani. Abanyaroma bakiriwe neza n’abo
bavamahanga b’abirasi maze batera abantu ibihumbi byinshi kwemera imyizerere y’itorero
gatolika ry’i Roma. Uko umurimo wabo wateraga imbere, abayobozi b’idini y’ubupapa
n’abayoboke babo bagiranye amakimbirane n’abakristo bo mu gihe cya mbere. Izo mpande
zombi zagaragaje guhabana gukomeye. Abakristo bari abantu boroheje, bicisha bugufi kandi
imico yabo, inyigisho zabo, ndetse n’imigirire yabo byari bikurikije imyigishirize
y’Ibyanditswe Byera; mu gihe imyitwarire y’abo bandi yagaragazaga imyizerere idafite
ishingiro, kwiyerekana ndetse no kwishyira hejuru y’abandi.
Intumwa ya Roma yasabye ko ayo matorero y’abakristo yemera ubushobozi bw’ikirenga
bwa Papa. Abongereza basubije bicishije bugufi ko umugambi wabo ari ugukunda abantu
bose, ariko ko papa nta bushobozi bw’ikirenga afite mu Itorero, kubw’ibyo, icyubahiro
bashobora kumuha kikaba ari igikwiriye umuyoboke wese wa Kristo. Bagerageje incuro
nyinshi kwemeza abo bakristo kuyoboka papa ariko abo bakristo bicishaga bugufi, bamaze
gutangazwa n’ubwirasi bw’intumwa ye, basubije bashikamye ko umuyobozi bemera ari
Kristo wenyine.
Icyo gihe ni bwo imigambi nyayo y’ubupapa yagaragaye. Umuyobozi w’i Roma
yarababwiye ati: “Nimutemera kwakira abavandimwe banyu babashakira amahoro, muzakira
abanzi banyu babazaniye intambara. Nimutemera gufatanya natwe kwereka aba Saxons inzira
y’imibereho, bazabazanira urupfu.” 23
Ntabwo iryo jambo ryari iryo gukinishwa. Mu kurwanya abo bahamya bo kwizera
gukomoka muri Bibiliya hakoreshejwe intambara, uburyarya ndetse n’ibinyoma, kugeza
ubwo amatorero yo mu Bwongereza asenywe bitaba ibyo agahatirwa kuyoboka ubutegetsi
bwa Papa.
