Abstract

This article explores the spirituality of the bate symbol within the context of the blessing of Catholic church buildings in Tana Toraja as a concrete form of inculturation of the Christian faith into local culture. Originally, bate functioned as a religious symbol in traditional Toraja ceremonies for inaugurating tongkonan (ancestral houses). Over time, however, this symbol has been adopted and reinterpreted in Catholic liturgical celebrations, particularly during church blessing rituals. The study employs a qualitative method using a literature review and applies Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutical framework, which consists of three stages: the world of the interpreter, the world of the text, and appropriation. The analysis reveals that bate can be understood as a cultural text rich in spiritual meaning. Traditionally, it symbolizes a connection between heaven and earth as well as cosmic power. Within the perspective of Christian inculturation, bate undergoes symbolic reinterpretation, representing values of faith such as the Trinity, the cross, the Eucharist, the Holy Scripture, and Jesus Christ as the mediator of salvation. The incorporation of bate in Catholic liturgy is not merely a cultural adaptation but a tangible manifestation of the encounter between faith and culture, achieved in a contextual and symbolic manner within Torajan society. This study affirms the significance of inculturation in proclaiming the Gospel in a way that is relevant and grounded, without compromising the core essence of Catholic faith. Furthermore, it recommends further research on other local symbols to enrich the dialogue between faith and culture in pastoral contexts.

Politics is seen as an endeavor in co-creating, progressing the nation and state. All citizens are expected to actively participate in these endeavors. Catholic Youth are also not free from political participation. The purpose of this paper is to find out the form of Catholic participation in politics and the factors that encourage them.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of injustice in the film Bumi Manusia as a medium of collective memory and moral reflection for contemporary Indonesian society. Using a qualitative method with a literature-based approach, the research identifies seven key scenes that portray forms of structural injustice related to race, gender, law, power, and access to knowledge. The analysis reveals that these depictions not only illustrate the oppressive colonial system but also resonate with present-day social realities in Indonesia, where legal inequality, marginalization, and power abuse persist. The findings show that the film offers significant moral and social lessons: the primacy of human dignity, the necessity of a humane legal system, the role of education as a path to liberation, and the ethical responsibilities embedded in power relations. Furthermore, the film’s narrative demonstrates how historical memory shapes critical awareness and encourages resistance against ongoing injustice. The study concludes that Bumi Manusia functions as a cultural text that bridges past and present, providing insights for building a just, dignified, and civilized society today.

Abstract

This research examines money politics as a root problem in Indonesia’s democratic system, focusing on the 2019 and 2024 general elections. Money politics refers to the practice of distributing cash or goods by candidates, campaign teams, or volunteers to influence voters’ political choices. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach to analyze several cases that occurred across different regions in Indonesia. The findings reveal that money politics was widespread during both elections, with the main modus operandi involving the distribution of cash, basic goods, and facilities. This practice not only violates the principles of free and fair elections but also undermines citizens’ dignity, weakens popular sovereignty, and serves as a major driver of political corruption. Contributing factors include power ambition, vulnerable economic conditions, low political education, weak oversight, and entrenched transactional political culture. To address this issue, the research highlights the importance of political party reform and strengthening democratic education, particularly through civic education programs. These efforts aim to increase political awareness among citizens and improve the overall quality of Indonesia’s democracy.
