Abstract

This article examines the practice of capital punishment from the perspective of the encyclical Veritatis Splendor, a moral document issued by Pope John Paul II in 1993. The article focuses on the moral teachings of the Catholic Church. The Church, as expressed in Veritatis Splendor, considers capital punishment to be inconsistent with human dignity and the core principles of Christian morality. The encyclical emphasizes that human life holds intrinsic value because it is created in the image of God, and that capital punishment violates the fundamental moral principle of the right to life. This theological reflection begins with a discussion of natural law inherent to human beings and follows Jesus' command to a rich young man that the highest good can only be found through a relationship with God. The article then highlights the human freedom to obey the truth and moral law, which guide individuals toward the true good, which is God. In the context of capital punishment, the misuse of human freedom to kill is considered an intrinsically evil act (intrinsece malum), which can never be justified, even with pragmatic reasons such as deterrence or justice. In summary, Veritatis Splendor stresses that every human action, including within the criminal justice system, must be directed toward the true good and respect for human dignity, rejecting capital punishment as a morally contradictory act to the Christian faith.

Abstract

The Diocese of Surabaya has experienced significant growth in the number of parishes; however, this expansion has also produced structural imbalances. The development of local units (parishes) has not been accompanied by a corresponding strengthening of intermediate structures (episcopal vicariates). This study addresses the issue of the "missing vicariates" (kevikepan yang hilang) marked by weak institutional functions and the limited leadership role of the Episcopal Vicar, who lacks a clear job description and strategic direction. As a result, a "silo mentality" and parochialism threaten the Church’s fundamental vision as communion. Employing a literature review as the methodological approach, this paper proposes a "Strengthening Model for Territorial Vicariates" for the period 2026–2030, aligned with the stages of the Diocese's Basic Directions (ARDAS). The framework integrates John Kotter's 8-Steps Change Model and Kurt Lewin’s 3-Phases Change Model with contemporary leadership theories: transformational, servant, authentic, and leader-member exchange (LMX). The strengthening process is structured into three phases: (1) creating a climate for change, (2) involving and empowering the entire vicariate, and (3) implementing and consolidating the culture. These phases must be accompanied by a transformation of the Episcopal Vicar’s role into that of a strategic leader and by the establishment of a solid steering coalition. In this way, vicariates can become coordinating centers that foster synodality, subsidiarity, and solidarity, ensuring the Diocese of Surabaya advances as a cohesive and missionary community.
