Abstract

This study examines the meaning and function of the Marhata Sinamot tradition in Batak Toba customary marriage and its relationship with Catholic teaching within the framework of the sociology of religion. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature study, it draws on the thought of Durkheim, Weber, Marx, and Berger, as well as Church documents on inculturation. The findings show that Marhata Sinamot functions as a rite that reinforces social integration and kinship cohesion (Durkheim), and reflects actions driven by moral values and family social status (Weber). From Marx’s perspective, sinamot maintains economic relations and resource distribution patterns, while Berger highlights its role in shaping the social construction of reality that provides symbolic legitimacy to kinship structures. Although recognizing positive values such as respect for women’s dignity, family responsibility, and social solidarity, the Catholic Church emphasizes that sinamot does not determine the validity of the sacrament of marriage. The study concludes that Marhata Sinamot remains culturally and religiously relevant when practiced proportionally in line with Church teaching. Recommendations include pre-marital catechesis, dialogue with customary leaders, inculturated liturgical guidelines, and family economic empowerment to support faith formation and the preservation of Batak Toba cultural identity in modern society.

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.

Abstract

This article examines suicide from the perspectives of the sociology of religion and Catholic theology in order to understand its social, moral, and pastoral dimensions. The study employs a qualitative approach through interdisciplinary library research, integrating sociological theories of religion with theological reflections within the Catholic tradition. The analysis shows that suicide cannot be understood solely as an individual act but is closely related to social integration, communal solidarity, and the protective role of religious communities. From a theological perspective, Bunuh Diri Dalam Perspektif Sosiologi Agama dan Teologi KatolikCatholic teaching emphasizes the inherent dignity of the human person, the complexity of moral responsibility in situations of psychological suffering, and the primacy of divine mercy. The study argues that an interdisciplinary approach provides a more comprehensive framework for interpreting suicide and responding pastorally to those affected by it. It proposes a contextual pastoral response that includes spiritual accompaniment, compassionate pastoral care, and the strengthening of community support systems. Such an approach enables the Church to address the issue of suicide in a more humane, reflective, and pastorally responsible manner.
