Abstract

Artikel ini mengeksplorasi spiritualitas kepemimpinan sebagai pelayanan, sebuah paradigma yang melampaui dominasi pribadi dan ambisi kelompok demi bonum commune. Penelitian ini didukung oleh kerangka teoretis St. Thomas Aquinas, khususnya relasi antara bagian (pars) dan keseluruhan (totus) dalam keadilan (iustitia), serta nilai-nilai ajaran sosial Gereja modern. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah studi kepustakaan, yang dikombinasikan dengan analisis kasus nyata dari Profesional Usahawan Katolik (PUKAT) Nasional. Hasil utama menunjukkan bahwa spiritualitas pelayanan terbukti direfleksikan melalui gaya servant-leadership, praktik keheningan reflektif (nang-ning-nung), dan kolaborasi inklusif dalam profesi. Praktik-praktik ini tidak hanya membumikan nilai iman, tetapi juga memperkokoh solidaritas, keadilan, dan martabat di kalangan komunitas profesional. Kesimpulannya, spiritualitas kepemimpinan sebagai pelayanan bukan sekadar ideal akademis, melainkan kebutuhan mendesak untuk membentuk masyarakat yang inklusif, adil, dan berorientasi pada kesejahteraan bersama (bonum commune).

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping the ways human beings learn, think, and make decisions, particularly in the areas of education and moral formation. This situation raises fundamental ethical questions, especially concerning human freedom and responsibility as moral subjects. This article reflects on the use of artificial intelligence from the perspective of Catholic moral theology, taking human dignity as its primary point of departure. This study employs a qualitative approach through a method of theological reflection, drawing on Sacred Scripture, the Catholic moral tradition, official Church documents, and relevant contemporary theological literature. The findings indicate that artificial intelligence can serve as a valuable aid to human life, yet it also carries the risk of weakening human freedom and obscuring moral responsibility when used without adequate ethical reflection. Excessive reliance on AI, particularly in educational contexts, may diminish critical thinking, intellectual virtues, and the process of moral character formation. In the light of Catholic faith, artificial intelligence should be understood as an instrument at the service of the human person, rather than as a substitute for human moral agency in thinking, choosing, and acting responsibly. This reflection seeks to enrich Catholic moral theology by offering a more contextual and humane response to the ethical challenges posed by contemporary technological developments.

Abstract

The criminalization of teachers in the context of student discipline reveals a profound crisis of authority within contemporary education. This article aims to examine the tension between pedagogical discipline and legal mechanisms through a theological-pastoral perspective. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in critical pastoral theology, the study integrates empirical data from international institutional reports and educational policy analyses with normative theological reflection rooted in Scripture and Church teachings. The discussion demonstrates that the weakening legitimacy of teacher authority, the growing climate of fear due to legal prosecution, and the disintegration of shared responsibility between schools and parents contribute significantly to the erosion of character education and the rise of aggressive student behavior. From a Christian theological perspective, discipline is understood as a pedagogical act grounded in moral responsibility and service rather than as an expression of violence. This article argues that the crisis of authority in education is both structural and pastoral, requiring active engagement from the Church to restore healthy relationships among educators, parents, and students. Contextual theological-pastoral reflection is proposed as a meaningful contribution to the renewal of educational practice and the strengthening of character formation amid contemporary social and legal challenges.

Abstract

The study offers a theological examination of the relationship between Christian faith, political life, and the vocation to build world peace, grounded in Gaudium et Spes articles 73–78. Within the contemporary global context marked by armed conflicts, democratic crises, ideological polarization, and structural injustice, the study reaffirms the enduring relevance of the Second Vatican Council’s social theology for the presence of Christian faith in the public sphere. Employing a qualitative research design, the study is based on a literature review with a textual–contextual analysis of conciliar documents, combined with critical engagement with works in social theology and Christian political ethics. The findings indicate that, from the perspective of faith, politics is understood as a form of service to the common good (bonum commune) and as a concrete arena for the enactment of the ethical responsibility of believers. The relationship between Church and state is articulated through the principle of a healthy and dialogical autonomy, which enables the Church to exercise its moral and prophetic role without succumbing to the logic of power or domination. Furthermore, Gaudium et Spes affirms that authentic peace is not merely the absence of conflict but the fruit of justice rooted in God’s reconciling work in Christ. Accordingly, Christian faith is presented as a transformative force with an essential public dimension, one that fosters the ethical engagement of believers in the pursuit of justice and peace in the world.
