Abstract

This research aims to describe the application of the Jigsaw learning method in increasing students' interest in learning in Catholic Religious Education. This research is based on the fact that the application of monotonous teaching methods tends to result in low student engagement in the learning process, which in turn affects their interest in learning. In this context, the Jigsaw method is viewed as one of the cooperative learning alternatives that can encourage students learn actively, responsibly, and collaboratively in groups. In this study, a qualitative descriptive approach was used through a literature review. Data were obtained through the study various relevant bibliographic sources, and then analysed descriptively through the stages of collection, selection, classification, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The research shows that the Jigsaw learning method can increase students' interest in learning, as this method encourages students to be more active in the learning process, more responsible in understanding and conveying the material, and more capable of collaborating with their peers. The Jigsaw method also contributes to the creation of a more dynamic, participatory, and meaningful learning atmosphere. Therefore, the Jigsaw learning method is a strategic alternative that should be implemented to improve the quality of Catholic Religious Education.

Abstract

This research investigates the concepts of heaven and hell within Nias culture and compares them with Catholic Church teachings, exploring their implications for Catholic Religious Education (PAK). Driven by the disparity in eschatological understanding between local culture and Catholic doctrine, and the crucial role of inculturation in faith life, a qualitative approach employing literature review was adopted. Data sources included Church documents, books, and relevant scholarly journals. Findings reveal that Nias culture perceives post-mortem existence not as a dualistic heaven or hell, but as a continuation in the spirit world, influenced by social status and adherence to tradition. In contrast, Catholic teachings define heaven and hell as outcomes of humanity's relationship with God. The inculturation process highlights a dialogue between cultural values and Christian faith, demonstrating that integrating local cultural values into PAK can enhance students' faith experience, making learning more relevant and transformative within their contexts.

Abstract

The veneration of the cross on Good Friday constitutes a central rite in the liturgy of the Catholic Church, making present the mystery of Christ’s passion and death as the heart of Christian faith. In pastoral practice, however, this rite is often understood primarily as a personal devotional act or merely a liturgical custom without sufficient liturgical-theological reflection. This article analyzes the veneration of the cross within the framework of liturgical theology as a locus theologicus, highlighting its soteriological, participatory, kerygmatic, ecclesial, and eschatological dimensions. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, the study engages Sacred Scripture, magisterial documents, and relevant theological literature. The findings demonstrate that the veneration of the cross is not simply an expression of individual piety but an anamnetic and performative ecclesial act that actualizes faith in Christ’s redemptive work, enables participation in His passion, proclaims divine love manifested on the cross, and fosters eschatological hope. Consequently, the rite affirms the liturgy as an action of Christ and the Church, shaping the soteriological awareness and ecclesial identity of the faithful while encouraging conscious and active participation in the Paschal Mystery. Key words: Good Friday; veneration of the cross; anamnesis; redemption.

Abstract

This study examines the theology of inclusivism of Karl Rahner, which is rooted in the understanding of God’s grace as universal, yet remains centered on Christ as the culmination of divine revelation. This study aims to analyze how Rahner’s inclusivism interprets salvation in the context of religious pluralism and its implications for the transformation of Christian life and the development of faith education. This study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, using descriptive-critical analysis of Rahner’s works, interreligious theological literature, and studies on the praxis of Church life. Theological literature in Indonesia remains limited in addressing Rahner, particularly regarding the implementation of inclusivism in Church practices and faith education; therefore, this study seeks to fill this gap. The findings of this study indicate that Rahner’s understanding of universal grace enables the Church to maintain its Christological identity while fostering a dialogical attitude in a pluralistic society. This perspective provides a theological foundation for the transformation of Church praxis and faith education, which emphasizes not only the transmission of doctrine but also the formation of an openness of faith toward human experience and the reality of religious pluralism.

Abstract

The prohibition of Holy Communion in the Catholic Church is often misunderstood by the faithful as a form of punishment and exclusion from the life of the Church. This misunderstanding creates various pastoral challenges, including feelings of disappointment, inner wounds, and even withdrawal from active participation in church life. In reality, according to the official teaching of the Catholic Church, such a prohibition has a pastoral purpose, namely to uphold the sanctity of the Eucharist and to encourage the faithful toward repentance and renewal of life. This study aims to explore the theological meaning of the prohibition of Holy Communion and to highlight the significance of pastoral accompaniment for the faithful who face this situation. A qualitative approach with a literature review method was employed. Data sources include Sacred Scripture, the Code of Canon Law, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, official Church documents, theological books, and scientific articles related to the Eucharist and pastoral ministry. The findings affirm that the prohibition of Holy Communion is not fundamentally a punishment, but rather a reflection of the Church's pastoral responsibility to protect the dignity of the Eucharist and to nurture the faith life of the faithful. Therefore, the Church is called to offer a loving pastoral approach that includes personal dialogue, reconciliation, and catechesis, so that every member of the faithful continues to feel welcomed and accompanied within the life of the Church.
