Abstract

The ecclesiastical leaders have made policies that encourage the faithful to worship at home as a part of the effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Online Mass became a principal solution to fulfill Sunday's obligations. This article aims to evaluate the online Mass practice from the believers' perspective. To study people's attitudes towards online Masses, interviews were conducted and results showed that people in general were dissatisfied with this practice. Underlying the dissatisfaction were assumptions, which need to be clarified, for example, that Mass as being identical to Holy Communion is considered the only way to fulfill the Sunday's obligations. In fact, there are a number of religious practices and doctrinal teachings that could serve as better alternatives to the Eucharistic celebration on Sundays. This paper concludes that online Mass is not the right solution to the problem of worship during the pandemic.Key words: Covid-19, kewajiban hari Minggu, misa daring, Komuni Kudus, communio

Abstract

This paper study the business practices of Catholic entrepreneurs. Employing qualitative research and conducting in-depth interviews with purposefully selected informants from the community of  Profesional dan Usahawan Katolik Keuskupan Agung Jakarta (Catholic Professionals and Entrepreneurs of the Archdiocese of Jakarta, PUKAT KAJ), the findings reveal a consistent alignment of their business strategies with Catholic faith principles. A comparative analysis of The Economy of Francesco's Final Statement and Common Commitment 2020 finds that Catholic businesspeople prioritize individual changes due to human dignity and equity, while participants stress the importance of structural changes for global justice. The authors propose the integration of The Economy of Francesco's principles, either partially or entirely, into PUKAT KAJ's vision and mission. This strategic alignment is recommended to enhance the societal impact of members' businesses and further promote the values upheld by The Economy of Francesco.

Abstract

This study investigates what the church building means for the Catholic faithful of Pinang Parish, Tangerang (Archdiocese of Jakarta). Using semi-structured interviews with seventeen parishioners and a phenomenological thematic analysis, it adopts a phenomenological–theological approach to interpret how the building is lived within everyday faith. Five themes emerged: identity, communion, stability, sacredness, and fulfillment. Participants describe the new church as making the community public and recognizable (“now we can point and say, this is our church”), gathering ministries into a stable locus for fellowship and service, and relieving the insecurity of rotating or provisional worship spaces. They also speak of an atmosphere that disposes reverence and of a sense of arrival after a long struggle for official permission to build. Wallenfang’s notion of paradox clarifies this experience: the church is held together as a concrete structure and as a sacramental sign—visible and fragile, yet experienced as mediating God’s dwelling that exceeds visibility. For a minority community, the building thus embodies perseverance and joy while reconfiguring how the faithful understand themselves as Church. The study advances ecclesiological reflection on sacred architecture by offering a bottom-up account of how lay experience and contested building processes shape ecclesial self-understanding, with relevance to wider debates on disputed worship spaces in minority contexts.
