Abstract

Education is an essential matter for every individual to support both personal and social life. This has been an unchanged reality up to the present moment. The Church truly recognizes its significant role in education. However, with various changing contexts over different eras, the Church's response to education in each era also varies. Before the Second Vatican Council, the Church faced an educational situation influenced by Gallicanism, which sought to weaken the Church's influence on the state. The impact of Gallicanism on education was the existence of a state monopoly on education, leaving behind crucial aspects of education. Pope Pius XI, through Divini Illius Magistri, sought to address such a context. After the Second Vatican Council, the Church's stance, previously closed to the modern world, began to change. The Church became more open to the modern world, influencing its perspective on education. Education, which was previously more anti-modernism and anti-liberalism, has now become more open. This shift is conveyed in the document Gravissimum Educationis, published during the Second Vatican Council. The Church's development in responding to the evolving world of education is a tangible manifestation of its presence in the world.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perbedaan konsep agama Islam dan Katolik mengenai pernikahan, mulai dari tujuan, proses, dan tanggung jawab suami-istri. Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data studi literatur terhadap teks-teks agama Islam (Al-Qur'an dan Hadis) serta Katolik (Alkitab dan Ajaran Gereja) dan literatur seperti buku dan hasil penelitian yang telah terpublikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tujuan pernikahan dalam Islam adalah membentuk keluarga yang sakinah, mawaddah, wa rahmah, sementara dalam Katolik, pernikahan dipandang sebagai bentuk kasih sayang Allah kepada umat-Nya. Selain itu, perbedaan proses pernikahan terlihat pada Islam yang diawali dengan khitbah dan akad nikah, sedangkan dalam Katolik terdapat kursus pranikah dan upacara pemberkatan. Meski terdapat perbedaan dalam konsep dan pelaksanaan, kedua agama ini sama-sama memandang pernikahan sebagai institusi sakral yang didasarkan pada cinta, komitmen, dan tanggung jawab, dengan tujuan membangun keluarga yang harmonis.

Abstract

This research explores the role of Catholic Youth (Orang Muda Katolik or OMK) in responding to the challenges of intolerance in Indonesia, particularly in the province of West Java. By examining Catholic Church documents such as the "Abu Dhabi Document" and "Christus Vivit," as well as the Pastoral Focus of the Bandung Diocese for the year 2023, this study aims to understand how OMK comprehends and implements the values of brotherhood advocated by the Church. In the context of intolerance, especially in West Java, known as a region with high levels of intolerance, the research also explores concrete steps that OMK can take to build a more tolerant society. The study involves an analysis of OMK identity, with a focus on the characteristics of the millennial generation, and considers the impact of the document "Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together" and the results of the 2015 Synod of the Bandung Diocese. The results indicate that OMK plays a crucial role in fostering interfaith brotherhood, emphasizing dialogue, acceptance of differences, and participation in social action. With implications from Church documents, this research provides a strong foundation for OMK to develop a spirit of brotherhood, respect for differences, and engagement in social action as part of their social responsibility. In the context of pastoral guidance, the study highlights the importance of conscience as a moral guide and suggests pastoral strategies that can be applied to help OMK internalize faith values. Thus, this research provides profound insights into the role of the Catholic Church in promoting peace and brotherhood in the midst of religious intolerance. The results can serve as a basis for further development of strategies to address tolerance challenges at the local and national levels.

Abstract

This research discusses the cultural differences of each candidates of priest at Fermentum Major Seminary. Cultural differences are a challenge for efforts to unify the vision with the Fermentum Major Seminary formation program. By using the unifying elements offered by the RFIS document, the candidates of priest create unity among community members with an attitude of ‘Silih Asih’. ‘Silih Asih’ is a Sundanese philosophy that continues to be lived by the people of West Java. This research uses empirical research methods, observations, a logical thinking framework which is manifested in a sequence of narratives, descriptions and analysis. This method is complemented by literature study. Empirical research was carried out using short interviews to find out valid data from each members regarding their place of origin and ethnicity, pastoral care together with the congregation. As a result, good and correct processing is needed in dealing with these differences. The element of unity offered by the Church’s document Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis (RFIS) and the Guidelines for the Formation of Candidates for Priests in the Bandung Diocese help the candidates of priest to find unity of vision with the seminary institution and the pastoral vision of the Bishop of Bandung. The development of an attitude of compassion must be carried out and lived by members at the Fermentum Major Seminary of the Bandung Diocese.

Abstract

Poverty is a social reality in the dynamics of human life in the world. This social reality is also part of the Church's concern. The Church pays attention, cares, and conveys its teachings about poverty and ways to overcome it through its dynamic structure, which includes Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium. This study is literature research, with Indonesian contextualization. By textual analysis, this paper shows that in reflecting on various realities related to poverty, especially by using the scalpel of Theology of Liberation, the Church has concluded that poverty, especially structural poverty, is the fruit of social sin. Social sin is an individual sin built in such a way with various kinds of conditioning to become a massive structure. This study recommends the need for personal and communal repentance to destroy this structure of sin and, at the same time, lift people out of structural poverty.

Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of tolerance held by students at UIN Bandung and Parahyangan Catholic University (UNPAR), two religiously affiliated postsecondary educational establishments in Bandung. The data for this research was gathered through document reviews and interviews using a qualitative methodology. Fifty students from UIN Bandung and fifty from UNPAR Bandung were interviewed. This study discovers that students' perceptions of their religious texts—the Bible and the Qur'an—have an impact on how tolerant they are Socially, it is discovered that Indonesians' conception of tolerance has a national dimension based on the national ideology. Religious and social concepts provide these kids with the foundation for tolerance in a variety of ways. Students at UIN Bandung continue to exhibit tolerance, but only within the framework of their religion—Islam. On the other hand, tolerance is practiced in both the social and individual environments at UNPAR, a campus that is more diverse and cosmopolitan. Collaboration strengthens the two student groups' tolerant attitudes. This collaboration later initiated the birth of the Halaqah Damai (Circle of Peace) as a forum for the two student groups to have dialogue and understand the essence of religious tolerance to be disseminated in their respective environments.

Abstract

The prophetical offices are always started with prophetic call narrative. There are several unique elements in this prophetic call narrative, which can be found in prophetic call moments of the prophets, namely the role of God’s Words, the appearance of God (theophany) in its variety, and the delegation mission task. What is interesting to analyze is the variety of God’s appearances (theophany), since the varieties depend on the context of each prophet and the delegation mission tasks given to them. This article discusses the prophetic call narrative of Jeremiah. At first sight, the calling and delegation moments of Jeremiah resembles Isaiah and Ezekiel’s, especially in God’s hands and the prophet’s mouth activity. Nevertheless, in Jeremiah’s prophetic call narrative, God’s activities have a special meaning related to his context. In Jeremiah’s case, the act of God touching his mouth and putting His words into it is the emphasis of the authenticity of God’s Words that comes out of Jeremiah’s mouth. The authenticity is needed by Jeremiah because he has to face false prophets.

Abstract

Among the myriad of human behaviours, few may provoke the wrath of God such as that of ‘sexual asininity’ (pathe atimias). An expression literally meaning ‘lust for impurity’ or ‘shameful desire’, this refers to homosexual acts be they feminine or masculine. In his letter to Rome 1:18-32, Paul asserts the gravity of this sin as evoking the ire of God upon their heads, the reasons being not only this sin confronts the natural will of the Creator, but even more so for its inclination in leading human to idolatry. Paul clarifies that homosexuality is not the issue per se, but all acts in whatever form they be, should they violate God’s will are displeasing to God. Paul’s starting point was not that of homosexuality leading up to idolatry. On the contrary, the text quotes Paul as explaining that idolatry is the result of erroneous relationship between human and God mirrored in aberrant sexuality. Human errs due to the bond between human and God is not firm. The logical consequence of God’s wrath is punishment. In other words, human’s transgression brings the wrath of God. God’s wrath is not part of the judgment, but a logical consequence streaming from the ill-relationship between the Creator and the creation. Punishment befalls the humankind because of the deviation of the creation’s nature.

Abstract

Renouncing the reality of plurality and multiculturality can provoke religious violence and social conflicts. The emergence of violence might have been one of the consequences of the deteriorating role of education, particularly the religious education, in the society. As part of the national education system in Indonesia, religious education bears on its shoulders the responsibility to propagate the values of plurality and multiculturality. It also disseminates other related values such as inclusiveness and tolerance, which are of paramount significance in building a society characterised by peace, harmony, solidarity, and respect to people of different cultures and religions. It is therefore an important role of Islamic Religious Education and Catholic Religious Education in Indonesia to cultivate ways of thinking that support plurality and multiculturality. This article analyses degrees of integration of plurality and multiculturality understanding in the 2013 curricula of Islamic Religious Education and Catholic Religious Education in high schools. The students’ better understanding of plurality and multiculturality can help them promote the above mentioned values as part of God-given reality in the society.

Abstract

Immanuel Kant was a philosopher who put forward the idea of ​​rational ethical philosophy. He is also a philosopher who succeeded in interpreting ethics in terms of moral imperatives, not only in terms of efforts to achieve happiness. He also proposed a rational transcendental philosophy as opposed to a speculative metaphysical-dogmatic philosophy. The purpose of this research study is an attempt to study the inherent structure of the mind or the inherent laws of thought. In the context of rational transcendental philosophy, Kant directed his ethical or moral philosophy to religion, even though religion was not directly used as the basis for religion. The research method used in this research is Kant analyzing the nature of human knowledge, especially in his discussion of Transcendental Analytics. Kant applied the Analytical Method by asking three basic things. The result of this research is that Kant's life as a philosopher is divided into two periods. First, the precritical period was passed by adopting the rationalistic attitude launched by Leibniz and Wolff. Second, critical period. This second period was a time when Kant gradually abandoned rationalism because he was influenced by Hume. In this second period Kant began to change the face of philosophy radically. The research conclusion is that the highest goal of Kant's ethical philosophical thought is the social goal or essential social good (summum bonum).
