Abstract

The people of Toraja, South Sulawesi are known to have social stratification as part of their culture. Such stratification at the same time influenced the concept of salvation in their ancestral belief, Aluk To Dolo. Eternal salvation, in the concept of man's union with the highest God, Puang Matua, could only be obtained by those who have a high social class, Tana’ Bulaan. Meanwhile, those who came from low social classes, in addition to having limited space in society, also culturally-religiously were difficult to obtain salvation. Using the literature method, this paper aims to provide a christological solution to this religio-cultural problem, especially after Christianity encountered Toraja culture. As a result, contextual christology provided an answer to this gap. The Son as the ‘Word made flesh’ brought salvation to the Torajan people in general with no more social stratification boundaries in the new understanding.

Abstract

Participation and Understanding of Catholic Youth in the Sacrament of Penance: A Case Study in St Peter and Paul Minomartani Parish. This study aims to determine the level of participation of Catholic Youth of St Peter and Paul Parish in the service of the Sacrament of Penance. This research uses a quantitative method. The researcher distributed questionnaires in the form of Google Forms containing a series of questions that had been prepared by the researcher to each Catholic Youth of St Peter and Paul Minomartani Parish. The results of this study show that most of the Catholic Youth in St Peter and Paul Minomartani Parish already have a good understanding of the Sacrament of Penance as a means to obtain forgiveness from God. However, despite this understanding, most young Catholics only receive the Sacrament of Penance at certain times, such as during Lent and Advent, or when they are at school or work, where there is an encouragement or opportunity to access this sacrament. This finding indicates the need for a deeper deepening of faith to help the Catholic Youth of St Peter and Paul Parish to appreciate the meaning and importance of the Sacrament of Penance.
