Abstract

In Thomas Aquinas’ view, every human being by nature is directed towards goodness. The goodness as the form of being (ens) is inside the human self. According to Thomas, human goodness is a participation in the highest goodness, namely, God, and thus every human being desires the perfection of the goodness by directing his or herself towards God. This natural tendency (appetitus naturalis) proves that human is directed towards an ‘end’. This goodness appears externally in the human action, and as an external action it is named actus humanus, which manifests the moral aspect of a human being. A person who actualises the goodness in his or her external action affirms his or her essence to the highest goodness. Goodness in morality depends on God as the supreme criterion of morality. It is good if it nears God and is evil if it moves away.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which parents of mixed marriages play a role in educating their children's faith and what methods or forms are applied by mixed marriage families in educating their children's faith. The method used in this study was qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. To obtain more valid and in-depth data, the researcher used the in-depth interview method. From the findings during the study, all interfaith parents who were the targets of this study were very concerned about the faith education of their children. This finding certainly slightly refutes the assumption that there is an apathetic attitude of interfaith parents towards the faith needs of their children. The conclusion is that the Church must continue to maintain and continue to monitor the continuity of children's faith education in interfaith families. The results of this study certainly do not automatically eliminate the negative stigma related to the deviation of children's faith in interfaith families. The Church must remain with them so that interfaith parents remain committed to educating their children in faith.
