Abstract

Internet-mediated interreligious relations could go in two directions: increasing the number of interreligious encountering with weakening process of religious exclusivism and lead people to religious fundamentalism and interreligious polarization. In the Indonesian context, the emergence of the Garis Lucu (Funny line) social media platforms allow a dialogical internet-mediated interreligious relation rather than the monologue one. This opportunity especially works in the relation between @KatolikG and @NUGarisllucu, two (unofficial) religious-based social media account that cover Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook Page. This study uses @KatolikG perspective on looking for several patterns of internet-mediated interreligious dialogue. The study finds three patterns of internet-mediated interreligious dialogue: doing daily dialogue, discussing sensitive issues, and doing social actions. Within these three works, @KatolikG contributes in sharing communal agenda and concerns that enable people to work hand in hand in supporting interreligious dialogue. Following the idea of Pope Francis to have ‘a greater discernment and responsibility for contents both sent and received,’ @KatolikG supports social cohesion among Indonesians in the context of Internet-Mediated Interreligious Dialogue.

Abstract

This article explores the dogma of Mary as Mother of God and its implications in the tradition of the Sisters of Our Lady of Amersfoort (SOLA) in Indonesia. In their traditional prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the SOLA in Indonesia invoke Mary with the title, “Mother of God”. This exploration includes the significance of dogmatic perspective on Mary. What are the implications of the dogma of Mary as Mother of God for the tradition of the Sisters of Our Lady of Amersfoort in Indonesia? Literature study is used as a method in this research.  The dogma as Mother of God is reflected in their traditions such as: liturgy, devotion, the motto Tota Christi per Mariam and the formula of their religious vows. Three recommendations are offered: (1) having a uniform structural image of Mary as Mother of God in the Congregations of SOLA; (2) creation of a Marian formation program for all formators of the SOLA and the SOLA in Indonesia, and (3) designing a Marian Formation Program for Junior Sisters, Novices and Postulants, especially the dogma Mary as Mother of God and its implications in the tradition of the Sisters suited to the particular stage of formation.

Abstract

The important question in this article is “How important is the construction of the tabernacle, on the sanctuary texts, especially in Exod 39:32-43 (in the larger context of Exod 25-31.35-40), for our church today, especially in Asia – in the midst of Covid-19 pandemic?”  Therefore, this article tries (1) to develop some theological thoughts of the Construction of Tabernacle in Exod 39:32-43 for Our Church Today; (2) to explore their theological implications for our situation today – in the midst of Covid-19 pandemic; and (3) to improve some theological thoughts on “Tabernacle” in the Catholic Church, especially regarding Sacramentum Caritatis 69 which describes the location of the tabernacle in the church by using the strong words, “The correct positioning of the tabernacle”. We try to go deeper on it by examining the richness of theological thoughts behind “the tabernacle” – not just focus on “the location” but try to go beyond.

Abstract

Because suicides are not a single factor, but the causes are plural and the variants or types are the same, so the approach to it is also varied. In this paper the author attempts to approach it from the sociological perspective of Émile Durkheim. Apart from that, he also approaches these cases from a pastoral point of view and traditional Batak culture. Because suicide is caused by a weak social solidarity, it is deemed necessary to take steps towards social cohesion. This study aims to describe and identify the social issue of suicide. Achieve this with qualitative research with participatory methods and phenomenology. The results of the research, namely pastoral perspectives and traditional culture can complement sociological perspectives to explain suicide (more) completely and its contribution to reforming pastoral services in the Protestant Batak of Christian Church (HKBP) and traditional Batak culture

Abstract

This article is a critical study of René Latourelle’s concept of revelation who conceives of it as Word, testimony and encounter. The theological thesis that I would like to advance in this article is that, whatever the analogy of God’s revelation, it is always fundamentally rooted in the experience of human openness to the highest value of his/her life in this world. Revelation itself is the analogical word of the most significant human experience in the world. The historical intervention of God is always experienced symbolically and considered plausibly according to the criterion of universal reason. Every understanding of the mystery is a human experience which in its essence is conditioned by the mystery itself. In this sense, it can be said that every concept of revelation is constructed from any interpretative and significant experience of the human being. This fundamental aspect of Christian revelation does not appear in Latourell's theological reflection.
