Abstract

Churchs ministry is to stand in solidarity with the poor, oppressed and to safeguard creation. This call requires the Church which means all Christians to get involved in the worlds socio-political affairs. Consequently, the Church is and must be political in a broad and noble sense. A prophetic liberative mission of the Church includes promoting love, justice, solidarity and fraternity among the entire human family, defending the dignity of the human person in its fullness and safeguarding the integrity of creation in cooperation with all people of good will. The Church will be in position of supporting the just worlds socio-economic and political affairs, but will denounce unjust practices in any form that do not respect the dignity of the human person, destroying livelihoods of the poor or do not safeguard creation as common heritage of humankind. This is to be done without violating the principle of justice and of separation between religion and state.

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the theological significance of the traditional religious practice of the Manggaraians in Flores, eastern Indonesia called the Kélah Ritual. It is an aspect of the traditional religion of the Manggaraians. The authorities of the Catholic Church in Manggarai have been very tolerant toward the ritual and provide enough space for the Catholics to practice it. The  Church, however, does not have a sufficient understanding of its theological significance due to insufficient previous studies on the subject. This paper demonstrates that the ritual has a deep theological significance. This study employed direct observation, direct participation in the Kélah Ritual in several places in Manggarai, focus group discussions, key informant interviews and questionnaires.  The results of this research indicate that this ritual is a rite of passage about the human soul departing from this world to heaven conducted a few days or months after the body’s interment. It was on the day of the soul’s ascension to heaven where all of the family ancestors meet with God eternally. This research concludes that, with its theological meaning, the ritual conforms with the Catholic faith doctrine regarding the gradual departure of the human soul to heaven after its corporal death – purgatory. No soul goes right away to heaven when it is not 100% holy. The ritual, therefore, could be valued and officially incorporated into the Catholic faith tradition  in order to enrich its worship to God.

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the communication between the ghosts of the dead and the living. It is quite commonthat the living talk to the ghosts of the dead through different rituals in the tradional religions. On the contrary, the studyabout communication between the ghost of the dead with the living is not very common. Therefore, a question in thisresearch is: “Is there any experience that the ghost of the dead talks to the living?” The assumption is that: there iscommunication between the ghost of the dead and the living. Using descriptive-qualitative method of research, the result ofthis study shows that there is communication between the ghosts of the dead and the living. The communication takes placethrough the medium of the paranormal in which the paranormal man or woman invites the ghost of the dead to talk to his orher family through paranormal man or woman or simply to get the message from the ghost. The communication also takesplace through dreams, and later on the message or messages that iare delivered in the dream become real or reallyhappened. Then, the communication of the ghost of the dead and the living is analyzed using postmodernism, fenomenology,and ethnometodology perspectives. Each perspective argues that the communication between the dead and the living isunderstandable and academically acceptable.Keywords: communication, dead, living, dream, paranormal, post modernism, fenomenolgy, and ethnomethodology.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the cosmic redemption concepts in the mythology of the pante tradition in Manggarai community. Pante tradition was an attempt to promote an attitude of respect for non-human creations so that nature would return to its harmonious state. The data was obtained through interviews with several key informants who were very close to these myths, including some palm tappers from several villages in Manggarai. From interviews and collected documents, several myths were found in the pante tradition. In Manggarai mythology, it is believed that there is inseparable relationship between humans, non-human creations, and the Supreme Being. Each creation has a contribution to the survival of the others and has eschatological future. The Manggarai people also believe that there is a place for the eternal life called pa'ang be le. This finding contributes to the development of ecological theology in the Indonesian Catholic Church and the universal Church. In addition, the awareness of the ultimate future for all creation strengthens the commitment of the Christians to preserve the environment.

Abstract

The ecological crisis threatens human life. In the face of the ecological crisis, the Church is called to be sensitive and involved in efforts to save the environment. Practicing ecopastoral is a form of the Church's involvement in saving the environment. Conducted by literature research, this article seeks to explain the ecopastoral praxis that can be applied by the Ruteng Diocesan Church as an ecological community. In order to raise the awareness of the people about ecopastoral as a joint movement, the Ruteng Diocese Church needs to integrate the local wisdom of the Manggaraians into the ecopastoral praxis. In practice, the Ruteng Diocese Church can live the ecological liturgy, ecological kerygma, and ecological diakonia as an important content of ecopastoral praxis.
