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.
