Abstract

Catholic Church will always maintain the secret of the confession because confession is sacred and a priest has no right to reveal the contents of the confession to anyone. In order to understand properly why a priest cannot reveal the sins of the penitent or must protect the content of the confession, the writer is intended to review it through the lens of Canon Law and start by looking back at the meaning of Sacrament of Penance as the Church’s foundation to provide guarantees to penitents, even if they have serious sins such as sexual abuse. The writer expects that this article will open up an understanding that the confession of sins gets the right place so that the readers understand why priests must always keep the secret even if they would be punished for doing so.

Abstract

The Church is the people of God. And as people of God, the Church consists of all people who believe in Christ. People of God with LGBTQ are people who have faith in. Christ. They accept Christ as the savior but need help understanding their condition. Thus, they need to be helped as people of God because some faithful cannot get them into the Church. They think that people with LGBTQ inclinations are not genuine or even sinful. This article would like to explore how the Church must serve all people who believe in Christ and how the Church can assist them by providing good accompaniment. Consequently, it will seek an explanation based on literature studies conducted on the main concepts in this research, namely “cura personalis” and LGBTQ. After that, this article will develop a pastoral attitude for assisting LGVTQ people as a theological reflection based on the study of moral theology and ecclesiology, which distinguish "actions" and "attitudes" towards other people, the meaning of being a Christian which is in line with the understanding of Christian Anthropology which states that humans are the image of God who has a purpose in life to be called to holiness, and about the position of Christians as part of God's people. That understanding will open a new way in pastoral care, not to contra the doctrine of the Church but to build a bridge to receive the LGBTQ people in the Church as the same people of God who journey on earth.

Abstract

The missionary role of the church, inherited from Jesus Christ, touches every aspect of human life. The mission is not just a matter of spiritual growth, but also deals with all social development. Therefore, the Catholic church in Indonesia considers education as a missionary priority. There are many good Catholic schools around the country that earn good reputation. However, the crisis of identity seems to emerge inside these many institutions. The authors raise the question, whether currently the church is really doing the missionary job, i.e. proclaiming the Good News, through these schools, or simply running schools with Catholic label. A case studi at SMAK Dempo, Malang, is presented as an ilustration of this concern. The goal is to remind the church about the basic idea of running schools as a tool of missionary ministry.

Abstract

For centuries Chinese people have migrated to the area known in modern history as Indonesia, mainly for economi purposes. This migration has ignited process of interaction with local people and cultures. Through marriages, for instance, Chinese people - who were mainly male as so few female joined the migration these particular people form some unique society, which is very much based on Chinese tradition in China mainland with close association with local culture. Apart from some political and social supression, this society survives and to some extent even contributes to the Indonesian cultural plurality. The author highlights some significant cultural performances which are well accepted in some areas of Indonesia, such as the celebration of Chinese New Year (Imlek), dances, puppet show and architecture in the presence of many Chinese houses of worship (kelenteng). The author indicates, that the presence of Chinese people clearly enriches Indonesian culture.

Abstract

Young Catholics are called to continue proclaiming faith in the world as modern-day images of Jesus. In Christus Vivit, Pope Francis identifies young people as the "now of the Church" and recognizes their potential to improve the world. As a result, the Church must prepare the formation of young Catholics earnestly. This research explores and designs pastoral care for young Catholics at St. Josafat Church in Surabaya, in line with Christus Vivit. Using qualitative methods, the researcher conducted interviews, surveys, and literature studies to analyze the current pastoral care and develop a new design. While the pastoral movement at St. Josafat Church is active and based on Christus Vivit, it remains focused on bonding and lacks full integration. The general guidelines for the pastoral care of young people at St. Josafat Church Surabaya is aimed to enhance the formation process of young people. These guidelines address several needs specific to the youth, including: building bonding, faith formation, self-recognition and self-potential, leadership development, and the implementation of a missionary spirit. In the next phase, this general guideline for pastoral care for young people according to Christus Vivit will be periodically evaluated to ensure that pastoral care for young people is increasingly optimal and relevant.

Abstract

Perkembangan teknologi digital pada abad ke-21 telah mengubah secara mendasar cara manusia berpikir, berinteraksi, dan mengambil keputusan moral. Salah satu bentuk nyata dari kemajuan tersebut ialah hadirnya Artificial Intelligence (AI) atau Akal Imitasi yang bekerja melalui sistem algoritma. Algoritma dirancang untuk membantu manusia dalam pengambilan keputusan, namun di sisi lain dapat memengaruhi kebebasan manusia dalam menentukan pilihan moralnya. Artikel ini menelaah secara kritis relasi antara algoritma dan kehendak bebas dalam konteks kehidupan kaum muda yang hidup di tengah budaya digital. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian pustaka dan pendekatan fenomenologi budaya, tulisan ini menelusuri sejarah perkembangan AI, fungsi algoritma dalam media sosial, serta konsekuensi etis yang ditimbulkannya. Dalam terang ajaran Gereja Katolik, khususnya melalui dokumen Antiqua et Nova, manusia tetap memiliki martabat dan kebebasan sebagai citra Allah (imago Dei) untuk memilih yang baik berdasarkan hati nurani yang terformasi dengan benar. Oleh karena itu, pendampingan pastoral yang menekankan pembinaan hati nurani menjadi kunci bagi kaum muda agar dapat menggunakan teknologi digital secara bijak dan bertanggung jawab. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa algoritma tidak boleh menggantikan peran kehendak bebas manusia, melainkan harus menjadi sarana yang dikelola secara etis demi perkembangan moral dan kemanusiaan yang otentik.

Abstract

Prayer is an integral part of family life. It helps family to face many problems in society even as the vital cell of society, family needs more prayers. Christian Families, as “ecclesia domestica”, obtain their identity from the Church, the bride of Christ. They have duty to pray because prayer unites them to Christ, the centre of family. Moreover, Christian families as “ecclesia domestica” have the same mission as the Church. Christian families need prayer in their daily lives because, identical to the Church, they pray together as community to invoke the help of God for their families lives. Thus, based on this context, this paper wants to explain how prayers in Christian Families have a significant effect in assisting and protecting them from dangerous ideologies such as secularism that break families in modern society.
