<![CDATA[This research has been developed around the two contrasting views/themes of current occurrences of inequality and significance for formation catechist. The are several problems that occur in society, especially the absence of appreciation of Catholic moral values, require the development of faith and character for society, especially for Catholics. In reality, especially in pastoral circumstances, the management of community development through activities can contribute to overcome the problem by providing opportunities for lay people to become a catechist. Hence, identifying problems of injustice is important because everybody is members of families and communities who sometimes experience injustice. If this injustice is not addressed properly, it will be impossible for a catechist to carry out his duties conscientiously and dedicatedly for the common good. The method used in this research is comparative research. Through this method, the researcher tries to gather data and process data more flexibly by using a qualitative or quantitative approach. Thus, it is hoped that the research results will be able to reveal a significant relationship between inequality and the formation catechists as ministers in the Church.]]>

<![CDATA[God allows Himself to be known not only through speculative revelations but also through empirical facts in the universe. And man try to know God through the presence of the universe. The universe with all its contents in this context is understood not only as a representation of God, but He himself is within and at the same time transcends this universe. Belief in the universe as the imago dei is an argument that moves humans to find the divine vestigium in the world. God's initiative in letting Himself be known and man's efforts to know Him in creation are called a reciprocal analogy. Thus, analogy as an effective medium for knowing and talking about God refers to these basic assumptions. Because this research is in the category of descriptive qualitative research, data collection was carried out through the literature study method, by reading the latest books and journal articles. The data was then analyzed according to the main discussion in this article.]]>
