Abstract

The role of youth within the Church is pivotal yet currently challenged by various factors impacting their active participation in religious activities. Significant decline in youth attendance at mass and low engagement in church and Catholic organizations are becoming pressing issues for the Church, which seeks to remain relevant to younger generations. This study, guided by the document Christus Vivit by Pope Francis, aims to analyze the challenges faced by youth and the opportunities for their empowerment within the Church. A qualitative approach, particularly library research, was employed to conduct an in-depth analysis of Christus Vivit alongside other relevant Church documents and academic literature. Data were organized into key themes including the role of youth, challenges of secularization, identity crisis, and the influence of social media. The findings reveal that secularization and social media significantly shape the youth's perception of religion, often leading to a sense of detachment from Church values. However, Christus Vivit highlights that youth are not just the future but the present of the Church, capable of bringing innovation and vitality if adequately supported. Effective pastoral care, inclusive mentorship, and leveraging technology for evangelization are essential strategies for empowering youth. The study concludes that the Church must adopt a responsive and inclusive approach to engage youth, addressing their unique challenges while fostering their active involvement in Church life. This requires collaborative efforts between Church leaders, parents, and educators to create an environment that supports the spiritual and personal growth of the youth, ensuring their integral role in the Church today and in the future.

Abstract

Catholic families hold a central role in transmitting religious values to children from an early age. Amid the growing challenges of modernization, secularization, and digital disruption, this role has become increasingly complex and urgently requires scholarly attention. This article aims to analyse how religious habitus is transmitted within Catholic families and how this process influences the development of children's personalities. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study method involving Catholic families in various parishes across Ambon. Herbert Mead’s theory of symbolic interactionism serves as the analytical lens to examine the symbolic dynamics within the family—through language, actions, prayer, and Catholic religious symbols—that shape the child's self and religious identity. The findings indicate that the transmission of religious habitus occurs through intense relationships between parents and children, expressed in shared prayer, faith-based discussions, parental role modelling, and participation in ecclesial activities. This process contributes to the development of a religious, empathetic, and resilient personality in children. The study underscores the significance of the family as the primary social space for constructing religious identity and affirms that religious habitus is not merely a legacy of inherited values but a socially enacted practice that is continuously renewed in response to the changing context of the times
