John Henry Newman is an outstanding pupil. He had a great desire for knowledge, falls in love with music, poem and expressed his thought in speech and writing, always ready for wonder, wholly-hearted and entirely ready to the call of everything around him, loved solitude, and ready to seek the Lord will provide in every changes in the external circumstances of life. For Newman, Evangelical teaching had been a great blessing for England and had led him to a spiritual life. Together with his knowledge of the doctrine of Calvinism and Catholic delivered Newman in a big conflict of his mind in one side, but in another side he looked it as a source of a personal encounter with God. Since the first conversions of 1816, Newman who has a sharp consciousness of the realities of the world beyond knew that he was powerless without Divine assistance.

Gagasan manusia tentang Allah mengalami perkembangan dalam sejarah, karena gagasan itu selalu mempunyai arti yang sedikit berbeda bagi setiap kelompok manusia yang menggunakannya di berbagai zaman yang berbeda. Pada zaman tertentu Allah yang maha agung itu diperkenalkan sebagai Allah yang menakutkan dan penghukum. Pada zaman lain Allah dihayati sebagai kasih. Setiap generasi memang dapat menciptakan citra Allah yang sesuai bagi generasinya, walau Allah melampaui segala ekspresi anak zaman. Newman yakin bahwa Allah yang diwahyukan Yesus adalah Allah yang dekat, yang berbicara dari hati ke hati dengan insan ciptaan-Nya. Ia adalah Pribadi dan hanya dalam Dialah manusia dapat memenuhi segala kerinduan batinnya yang terdalam.

This study analyzes friendship among Catholic Youth (Orang Muda Katolik—OMK in Bahasa Indonesia) as a crucial factor in forming emotional, spiritual, and social readiness for Catholic marriage. The qualitative study was conducted in two parishes—St. Fransiskus Asisi Laverna Gunungsitoli and Kristus Gembala Baik—using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that healthy, value-based friendships within the Catholic Youth community contribute significantly to fostering responsible relationships as a foundation for marriage. Key aspects supporting relational maturity include trust, open communication, mutual respect, and active participation in religious activities. These factors reinforce the psychosocial aspects necessary for building stable and meaningful relationships before entering into marriage. This study highlights the need for a more systematic approach by the Church in integrating friendship development into premarital preparation programs, particularly in pastoral care for Catholic youth. Thus, friendship is not merely a social experience but serves as a pathway toward a holy and committed family life. Further research is encouraged to explore how faith-based education can strengthen friendships as a foundation for mature relationships.

The main issue that is the focus of this study is what is the essence of the liturgy in the Catholic Church and how the Ars Celebrandi liturgy is in the perspective of Pope Benedict XVI. Therefore, this study wants to explore two important things, namely how a Catholic personally and communally understands the liturgy and how it was initiated by Pope Benedict through the theme of Ars Celebrandi. This research uses library research, which is supported by reference sources, especially Church documents and studies on the theme of liturgy and the Eucharist. Data and information are processed by researchers by sorting and examining the main ideas and classifying them in special themes according to the research objectives. This study found that Ars Celebrandi is the art of celebrating liturgical celebrations appropriately and can help the faithful to internalize all the mysteries of the faith that are celebrated in the liturgical celebration system so that in the end all the faithful can participate in the entire celebration of faith. Therefore, all liturgical leaders need to celebrate the liturgy according to the rules of the liturgy itself without having to improvise and be creative according to personal interpretation. Ars Celebrandi is closely related to the meaning of the mystery of faith, namely the encounter with God present in the liturgical celebration. Ars Celebrandi does not stop at the issue of how the liturgical celebration becomes a stunning display. However, Ars Celebrandi is more about the appreciation of the mystery of faith in oneness with God that is present in the liturgical celebration. This study is expected to add to the scientific treasures in the field of Catholic theology, especially those related to the meaning and significance of beauty in the liturgy of the Eucharist.

The preparation of this thesis began with the experience and observation of the author who saw and felt for himself various things of concern in catechumenal coaching. Catechumen coaching has not been done optimally, so the results are not optimal. Many catechumens are easily accepted or baptized into the Catholic Church, even though they do not yet have sufficient knowledge and depth of faith. In addition, after being accepted or baptized into the Catholic Church, there is no further formation. Though there are several stages or processes that must be done so that a person has a deep understanding of the Catholic faith before being accepted or baptized. The fault is not with catechumens, but on the part of the Catholic Church itself; Especially catechumens coaches and materials used in coaching. We all expect that a person who is accepted or baptized into the Catholic Church will have a firm faith and dare to bear witness in life.

Sexual violence in schools is a serious and growing concern that demands a comprehensive educational and preventive response. This study aims to introduce science-based education on the recognition and prevention of sexual violence among senior high school students through a community intervention model. A case study approach was conducted in two private high schools in the Nias Islands, involving five lecturers from the Pastoral High School and 154 students from grades X and XI. The intervention included socialization sessions, knowledge transfer, and structured assistance from school principals and teachers. The educational content was enriched by legal perspectives from the Nias and South Nias Police Departments, psychological insights, and child protection material from the Center for Child Protection Studies. The findings reveal strong student engagement, active participation in discussions, and increased awareness regarding the forms and dangers of sexual violence. The program encouraged critical reflection and fostered a sense of responsibility among students. Overall, this community-based science education initiative shows promising outcomes in empowering students as agents of change and in promoting a safer, more supportive school environment.

Pancasila is a legacy of our ancestors and has very noble values. Nobility is contained in the five principles of Pancasila as a noble "legacy", especially for building religious moderation in Indonesia. The researchers are interested in exploring the values contained in Pancasila in order to maintain the mandate of the founders of the Indonesian nation. On the other hand, the author admits that the knowledge and appreciation of some citizens of the Republic of Indonesia (WNRI) are starting to fade. This can be seen in the lack of appreciation and respect for others, especially those of different religions, cultures, races, and groups. This is a concern and a threat to the unity of Indonesian daughters and sons. This research was conducted using the library research method. By digging up information from main and supporting sources as well as reliable references, the researcher wants to present data and offer an idea to return to living up to the values contained in Pancasila. Indonesian people should be proud to have Pancasila as a democratic state philosophy. The Pancasila philosophy needs to be lived in a spirit of honesty, justice, solidarity and openness. This guarantees the realization of a peaceful and prosperous life. Thus, Pancasila is the spirit of unity in building religious moderation in Indonesia. This will guarantee protection for every citizen in all aspects of life, especially religious freedom.

Theology of the Body is a theological and philosophical reflection that seeks to help adolescents understand their identity as human persons created in the image and likeness of God. This study aims to examine the Theology of the Body and deepen understanding of the meaning of the human body and the value of human dignity in adolescent life, based on the teachings of Pope John Paul II. The method used is library research, involving the collection of relevant literature, critical reading, and the analysis of academic sources. The findings suggest that a comprehensive understanding of the Theology of the Body can foster a greater respect for the dignity of the human person and an increased awareness of the purpose of creation. In practical terms, these insights may be applied through character education programs rooted in the spirituality of the body within Catholic schools, pastoral accompaniment for adolescents that emphasizes the body as a gift, and the development of catechetical modules that integrate Theology of the Body with contemporary issues such as pornography, premarital sex, and identity crises. The scholarly contribution of this study lies in its formation of a theoretical framework that supports further development in the fields of theology, philosophy, and moral education for youth. Moreover, this study provides space for interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and the social sciences in addressing the complexity of juvenile delinquency in a more holistic and contextualized manner.
