Abstract

This article aims to provide an in-depth review of the implementation of the inquiry method in Catholic Religious Education. The study applies a systematic literature review approach by analyzing various relevant sources, including books, indexed journal articles, and official documents of the Catholic Church published within the last five years. The inquiry method is considered an effective approach to fostering critical thinking, creativity, and active participation of learners in understanding the values of the Catholic faith. Data analysis was conducted through reduction, classification, and synthesis to explore the relevance of inquiry implementation in the context of religious education. The findings indicate that the inquiry method encourages students not only to receive the faith teachings passively but also to reflect on their life experiences in the light of the Gospel. This strategy strengthens faith identity, builds reflective thinking skills, and promotes a dialogical attitude in facing contemporary challenges. The article concludes that the inquiry method can serve as an effective pedagogical alternative in Catholic Religious Education, although its application requires adaptation to theological contexts, spirituality, and Catholic school curricula. Thus, this review is expected to contribute to both theoretical development and practical innovation in the teaching of religion in contemporary contexts.

Abstract

Dalihan Natolu is the basic philosophy of life for the Toba Batak tribe which is contained in three elements, namely respect, veneration and support. This unity cannot be separated from the life of the Toba Batak tribe. Dalihan Natolu's kinship system, namely somba marhula-hula (respect to uncle's family), manat mardongan tubu (being careful to siblings), and elek marboru (graciousness to our sisters), is a communal foundation that is closely related to each other. Each component in Dalihan Natolu is implemented according to their respective positions and roles. The values that exist in Dalihan Natolu have a correlation with the Catholic faith, namely theological virtues (faith, hope, and love) and cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance).Theological and cardinal virtues are virtues that animate everyone to live Christian morals. Likewise, with the Dalihan Natolu values it can be understood that Christian morals are not just law implementation, but a response to God's call. Everyone's way and pattern of life must be adapted with the teachings of God. Thus, every person from any culture is able to reach the ultimate goal offered by God which is genuine happiness

Abstract

The writing of this thesis begins with the emergence of the author’s awarenes of the importance of understanding spirits of the Toba Batak culture in harmony with Catholic Theology. The meaning of spirit in Toba Batak culture is often understood both among the Toba Batak people and from other tribes, as a custom of idol worship. Chatolic Theology confirms that the spirit is a divine power that work in every creation, transport in all living things and is active in humans, specifically the Holy Spirit that is bestowed by God in every human being. The existence of the Holy Spirit in human being is a gift fom God himself to support human being to life. The religion and cultural customs are not two things that go in contradictory directions, but they are two features that strengthen each other. The culture is inherent in human existence from birt, and the religion is a way for human being to identify the faith in Jesus Christ himseft. A human being who is cultured and trough the help of the Holy Spirit will be able to experience oneness with God. Thus, the Religion and culture are two characteristics that lead human beings to the equal goal, namely human self-improvement.
