Abstract

The practice of interreligious fraternal relations (IFR) within the Archdiocese of Semarang (AoS) is not isolated. Other religions perceive, experience, and articulate their responses. They commend, lament, and criticize. This study presents the findings of the analysis of various religions' responses to the practice of IFR in the AoS. Their replies communicate varied reflective messages, which are significant and beneficial for altering IFR. Research on this matter appears to be currently unavailable. This qualitative study examines the phenomena of IFRs through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu's social theory of "habitus-modal-arena," Michel Foucault's concept of "power struggle," and the notion of "pastoral conversion" from Evangelii Gaudium. Data were acquired via interviews and observations. Employing Foucault's theory and the concept of pastoral conversion, this study reveals that the presently regarded stable hierarchical structure occasionally fails to effectively harness its power potential to prepare the Catholic laity in these relationships adequately. The AoS has not yet developed a robust habitus or cognitive framework for an IFR. This is evident in the insufficient understanding of Catholicism (capital), adversely affecting the expansion of mission spaces (arenas) established for IFRs.
