Abstract

The practice of interreligious fraternal relations (IFR) within the Archdiocese of Semarang (AoS) is not isolated. Other religions perceive, experience, and articulate their responses. They commend, lament, and criticize. This study presents the findings of the analysis of various religions' responses to the practice of IFR in the AoS. Their replies communicate varied reflective messages, which are significant and beneficial for altering IFR. Research on this matter appears to be currently unavailable. This qualitative study examines the phenomena of IFRs through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu's social theory of "habitus-modal-arena," Michel Foucault's concept of "power struggle," and the notion of "pastoral conversion" from Evangelii Gaudium. Data were acquired via interviews and observations. Employing Foucault's theory and the concept of pastoral conversion, this study reveals that the presently regarded stable hierarchical structure occasionally fails to effectively harness its power potential to prepare the Catholic laity in these relationships adequately. The AoS has not yet developed a robust habitus or cognitive framework for an IFR. This is evident in the insufficient understanding of Catholicism (capital), adversely affecting the expansion of mission spaces (arenas) established for IFRs.

Abstract

The installation of a Christmas grotto must begin with a process of meaningful reflection. Without it, such construction may become a hollow and repetitive act. The witness of Scripture must be re-reflected upon so that foundational norms are retrieved, thus ensuring the significance and value of the art continue to offer spiritual benefit to the faithful, and that the art itself maintains its place, is preserved, and passed down. This reflective qualitative study attempts to rearticulate essential Catholic principles that should be present in devotional art surrounding the Christmas Liturgy, so that the artistic expression may be properly and fruitfully carried out. This literature review is grounded in sources considered reliable within Catholic circles. Each source certainly holds varying degrees of influence. We hope this reflection aids readers in reassessing sufficient considerations in realizing devotional Christmas artwork. The key principle to uphold: the Catholic Church uses human art as an auxiliary means to proclaim the Good News in a more beneficial manner for humanity, without obscuring the core message. Therefore, as a means, the Christmas grotto/stall is necessary.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the meaning of the Jubilee Year 2025 as a pastoral foundation for catechists in encouraging the participation of the faithful in the life of the Church, particularly in the field of liturgy, in Saint Paul Parish Sendangguwo, Semarang. The Jubilee Year 2025, with the theme “Pilgrims of Hope,” is understood by the Church as a moment of grace for the renewal of faith, conversion, and the strengthening of the faithful’s involvement in ecclesial life. Pastoral realities show that the participation of the faithful in liturgical ministry is still relatively low, as indicated by passive attitudes, feelings of unworthiness, and limited understanding of the baptismal calling. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques consisting of document study, observation, in-depth interviews, and open-ended questionnaires. The results show that catechists interpret the Jubilee Year 2025 as a strategic pastoral opportunity to awaken the faith awareness of the faithful through catechesis, socialization, and the witness of life. The role of catechists as pastoral agents and examples of faith has a significant influence in increasing the active involvement of the faithful. This study contributes to strengthening pastoral catechetical ministry in the local parish, emphasizing that the authentic appreciation of moments of faith by catechists becomes a key factor in transforming the participation of the faithful in the life of the Church.
