Abstract

Artikel ini meneliti sikap Kristen Calvinis terhadap agama-agama yang ada di Batavia pada abad ke-XVII. Dengan menggunakan Metode Sejarah, didapat beberapa kesimpulan: (1) VOC hanya mengakui satu agama yang sah (publieke kerk) yaitu Kristen Calvinis, (2) Dengan menggunakan VOC, sikap Kristen Calvinis terhadap komunitas Katolik Roma sangat tegas, banyak pastor Katolik Roma yang dipenjara. Untuk membatasi perpindahan penduduk Batavia ke Gereja Katolik Roma, dibuat peraturan bahwa sakramen Katolik Roma (Baptisan) dianggap tidak sah secara hukum dan tidak bisa dijadikan sebagai syarat pernikahan, (3) Islam dan Kong Hu Cu di Batavia tidak diakui sebagai agama resmi, namun karena secara politik dan ekonomi mereka kuat, VOC menjadi sangat berhati-hati dalam membuat kebijakan-kebijakan, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan hidup keagamaan mereka.The article presents the findings of the research of Calvinistic Christianity’s attitude towards the other religion groups in Batavia during the 17th century. By using the Historical Method, the conclusions are obtained as follows: (1) The VOC recognized exclusively the Calvinistic Christianity as the only legitimate religion (publieke kerk), (2) The Calvinistic Christianity manipulated the VOC to behave strict towards the Roman Catholics so that many Roman Catholic priests were consequently imprisoned. To prevent the Batavia citizens from embracing the Roman Catholics, the Calvinistic Christianity had the Roman Catholic's sacrament of Baptism considered as as not legally valid by the VOC so that it could not fulfill the marriage requirements, (3) Meanwhile, Islam and Confucianism in Batavia remained unrecognized as official religions. However, their political and economic influence forced the VOC to be very careful in decision-making, especially concerning their religious lives.
