Chikalatachi chinalembedwa pa June 29, 2008, ndipo chinanena kuti Akatolika anali atalangizidwa kale kuti asamagwiritse ntchito dzina la Mulungu wa Isiraeli. Komabe, “m’zaka za posachedwapa iwo ayambiranso kugwiritsa ntchito dzina la Mulungu, lomwe amati ndi lopatulika, ndipo limalembedwa ndi zilembo zinayi za Chiheberi izi, יהוה (YHWH).” Chikalatachi chinanenanso kuti dzina la Mulungu lakhala likulembedwa mosiyanasiyana monga kuti, “Yahweh,” “Yahwè,” “Jahweh,” “Jahwè,” “Jave,” ndiponso “Yehovah.” * Koma chikalatachi chinalamula kuti anthu asiyiretu kugwiritsa ntchito dzina limeneli.

Chikalatachi chinanenanso kuti ngakhalenso m’Baibulo la Septuagint, lomasulira Malemba Achiheberi, limene linalembedwa Chikhristu chisanayambe, dzina la Mulungu ankalilemba ndi mawu a Chigiriki akuti Kyʹri·os, kutanthauza kuti “Ambuye.” N’chifukwa chake chikalatachi chinati, “Kuyambira kale Akhristu nawonso sankagwiritsa ntchito dzina la Mulungu.” Komabe zimenezi si zoona, chifukwa m’Baibulo lakale la Septuagint munali dzina la Mulungu lolembedwa ndi zilembo izi, יהוה osati Kyʹri·os (Ambuye). Otsatira a Khristu oyambirira, ankadziwa dzina la Mulungu ndiponso katchulidwe kake. Popemphera kwa Atate ake, Yesu anati: “Dzina lanu ndalidziwitsa.” (Yohane 17:26) Ndiponso m’pemphero lake lachitsanzo lomwe ndi lotchuka kwambiri, Yesu anatiphunzitsa kupemphera kuti: “Atate wathu wa kumwamba, dzina lanu liyeretsedwe.”​—Mateyo 6:9.

Akhristu onse ayenera kuyesetsa kuchita zinthu zoyeretsa dzina la Mulungu. Choncho, Zimene akuchita atsogoleri a Chikatolika pofuna kusiyiratu kugwiritsa ntchito dzina la Mulungu zikusonyeza kusalemekeza Mulungu amene anati: “Ili ndi dzina langa nthawi yosatha, ichi ndi chikumbukiro changa m’mibadwo mibadwo.”​—Eksodo 3:15.
