Abstract

This study aims to examine the challenges and opportunities in the role of Catholic religious instructors related to religious moderation in the Riau Islands Province. Religious moderation has become a crucial issue in maintaining social harmony amidst the pluralism of Indonesian society. The Riau Islands Province, with its diversity of religions and ethnicities, presents unique dynamics in the context of tolerance and coexistence. Catholic religious instructors play an important role in promoting the values of moderation, tolerance, and interreligious dialogue, but they face various challenges, such as limited resources, skills, and policy support. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Catholic religious instructors, religious leaders, and local communities, as well as document analysis of related religious policies in the region. The study results indicate that the main challenges faced by Catholic religious instructors include limited access to training on religious moderation, and insufficient infrastructure and logistical support in remote areas. On the other hand, there are significant opportunities to strengthen the role of Catholic religious instructors, particularly through interreligious collaboration and increasing understanding of religious moderation values relevant to the local context. The study suggests the need to enhance the competence of religious instructors through continuous training, and to increase synergy between the government and religious institutions to facilitate dialogue and cooperation among religious communities. In this way, the role of Catholic religious instructors can be optimized to support religious moderation and create harmonious religious life in the Riau Islands Province.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of personal motivation, popularity, and parental will on the decision of seminarians at Mario John Boen Minor Seminary in responding to the call to become priests. Through surveys and in-depth interviews, it was found that 86.0% of seminarians decided to become priests based on pure personal motivation, driven by a commitment to serve the people of God. Meanwhile, 12.0% of seminarians indicated that their decision to become a priest was influenced by the will of their parents and parish priests. Additionally, 1.0% of seminarians cited pursuing self-popularity and high curiosity as their reasons for the decision. These results indicate that personal motivation is the dominant factor in the seminarians' decision-making process, while the influence of popularity and parental will is relatively smaller. This study recommends strengthening spiritual formation programs at the seminary to continue supporting and reinforcing the seminarians' personal motivation so that they may pursue their priestly vocation with full commitment and integrity.
