Being a welcoming church

圣彼得教堂的点评

点评：As a birthday treat from my parents to take me to Melaka to visit the historical Catholic churches in Melaka since I always have the passion and love for Catholic churches. I went to a few churches and i enjoy visiting them. But I was very disappointed and upset with St. Peter's Church because I did not get a chance to enter the church because the church hours are limited and short and the parish is not accommodative and they are unfriendly. When we went there before it is 3 minutes before 1 pm in the afternoon because their operating hours are from morning until 1pm, but as we enter, the church doors were closed, we have asked a fellow worker with a name tag but we didn't get his name that if we can just go in and pray to ask for God's blessing and wishes for my birthday,we asked twice but the worker refused to open the doors for us Catholics whom me and my family came so far all the way from KL, just to see one of the oldest historical churches in Melaka only for the doors to be shut. It was a disappointing experience. but this church did not welcome other visiting Catholics like me. i have heard from a close good friend who is a local in Melaka that this church and the parish only welcomes and open doors for people who are high beneath our classes and foreign tourists when churches are supposedly meant to be a hospital for Catholics and those who are in need of comfort and for the poor and the sick and the lonely. As a devoted Catholic, it is very sad to hear such churches are not welcoming to everyone.When compared to KL/Selangor Churches, The church is open for everyone. Why does historical churches like St.Peter which is a one of the oldest church in Melaka from the 17th century does not open doors for anyone? Are the Catholic churches supposed to be the universal church?

翻译：作为生日礼物，父母带我去马六甲参观当地历史悠久的天主教堂，因为我一直对天主教堂怀有浓厚的兴趣与热爱。我参观了几座教堂，过程十分愉快。然而，圣彼得教堂却让我极为失望与难过——由于开放时间极为有限，我根本没能进入教堂参观。此外，教区工作人员态度冷漠且不友善，丝毫没有热情好客之意。我们之前去那里时，时间正好是下午12点57分，因为教堂的开放时间是从早上一直到下午1点。可当我们到达时，教堂的大门却是关着的。我们询问了一位戴着姓名牌的工作人员——不过我们没记住他的名字——问他我们是否可以进去祈祷，祈求上帝保佑并实现我生日的愿望。我们问了两次，但这位工作人员却拒绝为我们这些从吉隆坡远道而来的天主教徒开门。本想去看看马六甲最古老的历史教堂之一，结果大门却紧闭着。真是一次令人失望的体验。这座教堂并不欢迎像我这样的其他天主教徒访客。我从一位住在马六甲的密友那里听说，这家教堂及教区只接纳社会地位低下的人和外国游客，而教堂本应成为天主教徒以及那些需要慰藉的人、穷人、病人和孤独者的避风港。作为一名虔诚的天主教徒，听到这样的教堂并非对所有人敞开大门，我感到非常难过。与吉隆坡/雪兰莪地区的教堂相比……教堂对所有人开放。那么，像17世纪建立的、马六甲最古老的教堂之一——圣彼得教堂这样的历史悠久的教堂，为何不对任何人敞开大门呢？天主教堂难道不应该是普世的教堂吗？
