Abstract

Penelitian ini menganalisis Mazmur 72:1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17 sebagai teks liturgis dan teologis yang merepresentasikan visi tentang raja ideal sebagai mediator utama kesetiaan Allah bagi umat-Nya. Dengan menggunakan metode hermeneutik dalam subgenre sastra hikmat dan didukung oleh studi pustaka dan analisis isi, penelitian ini mengidentifikasi bentuk paralelisme, struktur pengembangan mazmur, penggunaan metafora, serta menguraikan makna teologis yang terkandung dalam teks. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Mazmur 72 membangun gambaran progresif tentang pemimpin yang adil, pembela kaum tertindas, dan pembawa damai yang universal. Secara teologis, Mazmur ini berdialog dengan Yesaya 11:1-10 dan Matius 3:1-12, yang secara bersama-sama menghadirkan harapan mesianik mengenai pemerintahan yang penuh belas kasih dan keadilan. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa kesetiaan Allah kerap dimediasi melalui beragam agen, seperti raja dan institusi sosial, dan mendorong pembacanya untuk melihat karya Allah yang hadir secara nyata dalam sejarah dan kehidupan sosial.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology and artificial intelligence has transformed human life in significant ways while simultaneously fostering a reductionist understanding of the human person based on productivity, efficiency, and technical capability. This phenomenon poses serious challenges to the understanding of human dignity and identity. This study aims to examine the concept of the human person according to Pope Leo XIV in the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas and to analyze its relevance for contemporary society. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, drawing primarily on the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas and related scholarly sources. The findings reveal that Pope Leo XIV understands the human person as created in the image and likeness of God (imago Dei), possessing an inherent dignity that does not depend on ability, social status, or productivity. This understanding is grounded in Christological and Trinitarian foundations, which affirm the human person as a relational being called to communion with God and others through love and self-giving. The encyclical also offers a critical response to technocratic paradigms, transhumanism, and posthumanism, which risk reducing human beings to technological objects or economic instruments. In the context of contemporary society, Pope Leo XIV’s thought provides a theological and ethical foundation for the development of human-centered technology while reinforcing respect for human dignity in social, educational, economic, and ecclesial life. This study concludes that the anthropological reflection presented in Magnifica Humanitas offers a significant contribution to addressing the human challenges emerging in the digital and artificial intelligence era.

Abstract

This study examines artificial intelligence (AI) and its implications for human dignity from the perspective of Catholic ethics. The rapid development of AI has brought significant benefits in various fields, such as education, healthcare, communication, and economics. However, AI also raises ethical concerns, including privacy violations, algorithmic bias, manipulation of information, automation-driven unemployment, and the reduction of human beings into mere digital data. This research employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach by analyzing books, scientific journals, and official documents of the Catholic Church related to AI and human dignity. The findings reveal that the Catholic Church does not reject technological advancement but emphasizes that AI must remain human-centered and oriented toward the common good. In Catholic theology, human beings possess inherent dignity because they are created in the image of God (imago Dei), and therefore cannot be replaced or reduced by technology. Catholic ethics provides moral principles such as human dignity, solidarity, justice, transparency, and moral responsibility as foundations for the responsible use of AI. Consequently, AI should function as a tool that serves humanity and supports integral human development rather than becoming an instrument of domination and dehumanization.

Abstract

This article explores the dialogue between Proverbs 17:17, a part of biblical Wisdom Literature, and Siri’ na Pacce, a traditional value system of the Bugis-Makassar ethnic group. Both emphasize universal values such as love, solidarity, empathy, and human dignity within community life. Proverbs 17:17 underscores the importance of a faithful and loving friend especially in difficult times, while Siri’ na Pacce highlights honor (siri’) and compassion in suffering (pacce). This study employs a qualitative approach through literature review to analyze scriptural texts and local philosophies contextually. The findings indicate that these two traditions complement each other and enrich Christian faith expression in local cultural contexts. Their integration also supports the development of contextual theology and contributes to building a compassionate and dignified society. In an increasingly individualistic world, these values remain relevant in strengthening relationships and fostering inclusive communities of faithAbstrakArtikel ini mengeksplorasi dialog antara Amsal 17:17 sebagai bagian dari Sastra Kebijaksanaan dalam Alkitab dan falsafah hidup siri’ na pacce sebagai kearifan lokal Bugis-Makassar. Keduanya menekankan nilai-nilai universal berupa kasih, solidaritas, empati, dan martabat dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Amsal 17:17 menegaskan pentingnya kesetiaan dan kasih seorang sahabat terutama dalam masa sulit, sementara siri’ na pacce menyoroti pentingnya harga diri (siri’) dan solidaritas dalam penderitaan (pacce). Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi pustaka untuk menganalisis teks-teks kitab suci dan filosofi lokal secara kontekstual. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai tersebut saling melengkapi dan mampu memperkaya pemahaman iman Kristen dalam konteks budaya lokal. Integrasi keduanya juga menjadi dasar pengembangan teologi kontekstual dan membangun masyarakat yang bermartabat dan penuh kasih. Dalam dunia yang cenderung individualistik, nilai-nilai ini tetap relevan untuk memperkuat relasi dan membentuk komunitas iman yang inklusif.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the theological meaning of love for the poor in the apostolic exhortation Dilexi Te and to reflect on its relevance within the context of Indonesia’s pluralistic society. The research employs a qualitative method with a literature study approach, using Dilexi Te as the primary source, supported by relevant theological and social literature. The findings reveal that love for the poor in Dilexi Te is not merely a charitable act but constitutes the core of Christian faith, inseparable from one’s relationship with God. This love is integral, encompassing spiritual, moral, and structural dimensions, and calls for active engagement in promoting social justice and addressing the root causes of poverty. Theologically, solidarity with the poor is grounded in the mystery of Christ’s incarnation and the principle of the preferential option for the poor. In the Indonesian context of diversity, this teaching holds strong relevance as a foundation for fostering interreligious solidarity, strengthening social cohesion, and encouraging both the Church and society to work toward a more just, inclusive, and humane social order. Therefore, this study highlights that theological reflection on love for the poor is not merely normative but also carries concrete social implications in a pluralistic society.
