Abstract

The focus of this study is to examine the impact of social media on the mental health of Catholic Youth in the Diocese of Denpasar from the perspective of cyber theology as proposed by Antonio Spadaro. Social media has now become an inseparable part of young people's daily lives. Its presence significantly influences human life today, particularly the youth. Therefore, it is crucial to observe and respond wisely to the presence of social media along with its effects. This research employs a qualitative research method, using in-depth interviews with respondents representing the Catholic Youth of the Diocese of Denpasar. The collected data is then analyzed through the lens of cyber theology as conceptualized by Antonio Spadaro. The findings reveal that while social media can broaden relationships, increase access to information, and serve as a medium for deepening faith, it can also affect the mental health of young people if not used wisely and responsibly. Efforts to address the potential negative impacts of social media must be undertaken earnestly. The Church is also called to be actively involved in this context through its pastoral mission. It is invited to be a welcoming home and an engaged community to support young people in navigating the challenges posed by social media.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the Second Vatican Council from a pastoral theological perspective. The 1983 Code of Canon Law represents a significant reform in the Catholic Church’s legal structure, shifting from a juridical to a pastoral approach, largely influenced by the theological renewal of the Second Vatican Council. This research aims to analyze the continuity and transformation of canonical norms, particularly in their application within the Church's pastoral life. Using a qualitative method with a textual analysis approach, this study reviews official Church documents, including the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the decrees of the Second Vatican Council, applying hermeneutical and theological reflections. The findings reveal that the 1983 Code of Canon Law integrates key elements of Vatican II’s ecclesiology, emphasizing the communal nature of the Church and the active participation of the laity. Furthermore, the study highlights the pastoral dimension of canonical law, particularly in its flexibility and responsiveness to contemporary pastoral needs. The study concludes that the reforms brought by the 1983 Code of Canon Law reflect a deeper alignment with Vatican II’s vision, reinforcing the Church’s mission in a more inclusive and adaptive manner. These insights provide theological and pastoral implications for Church leaders and scholars in applying canonical norms effectively within pastoral contexts.

Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of modernity on cultural dislocation in Asmat society, focusing on the loss of local wisdom practices that have long been central to their cultural identity. This research uses two main techniques, namely in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), to explore the Asmat people's perspectives on the social and cultural changes they are experiencing. The findings show that modernity, triggered by globalization, technological development, and information flow, has caused a shift in traditional values, changed life patterns, and threatened the preservation of local wisdom. This cultural dislocation not only impacts on social aspects, but also on Asmat cultural identity and sustainability. This research provides insights into the challenges communities face in maintaining their traditions amidst modernity, and offers strategic recommendations to safeguard an almost forgotten cultural heritage. The findings are expected to make an important contribution to the development of cultural studies and the preservation of local wisdom.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse and synthesise existing literature on the advantages and disadvantages of digitisation in catechesis. Data was collected from relevant journal articles published in the last five years. The results of the study show that although digitisation in catechetical activities offers many advantages, it also has very urgent disadvantages, such as the lack of knowledge among the faithful in utilising and operating digital media for catechetical activities, the lack of supporting infrastructure, the lack of interest among the faithful in spiritual content, some of the faithful utilising digital media to convey information about certain meetings, and some of the faithful also passively participating in online catechesis. Therefore, this study provides recommendations to the Church, catechists, and the faithful to overcome these challenges in order to increase the effectiveness of digitisation in catechesis.

Abstract

SEKAMI activities are an important mission in maturing children's faith through the packaging of spiritual activities in the current era of digitalization. Through this activity, of course, it will bring children's faith closer to God in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church. However, problems are still found in the parishes.  One of them in Lewotala Parish was found that many children have not been actively involved in activities both in joint prayer activities, as well as liturgical activities such as Eucharistic celebrations on Sundays. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to find out and describe the role of SEKAMI in forming Communal Spirituality in the Digital Era for the Alpha Generation. The method used is a type of qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Interview data collection techniques, observations, and documentation. The subjects in this study were 9 informants. The results found that SEKAMI plays an important role in shaping the spirituality of the alpha generation in the digital era. Through spiritual and social activities, children are taught Christian values, concern for others, and the spirit of brotherhood. SEKAMI must continue to be a forum for fostering faith and teaching Christian values, as well as encouraging children to live the spirit of 2D2K (Prayer, Donation, Sacrifice, and Testimony). Thus, SEKAMI children can grow in faith and become witnesses of Jesus Christ, as well as use technology positively.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the synergy between catechesis and pastoral ministry in the context of how shamanism and magic practices affect the religious life of the Malind-Anim tribe in St. Antonius Kaisa Station, St. Peter and Paul Parish, Archdiocese of Merauke. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with ethnographic and grounded theory methods. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with religious leaders, traditional leaders, and members of the Malind-Anim community. Data analysis was conducted thematically with a focus on how the implications of shamanism and magic practices shape the dynamics of faith and community participation. The findings show that shamanism and magic practices are still an integral part of the traditional belief system that influences the religious life of the Malind-Anim tribe. The synergy of contextual catechesis and pastoral care provides a space for dialogue and integration of Catholic values with local wisdom, thus opening up opportunities for spiritual renewal without neglecting cultural identity. In addition, adaptive pastoral strategies and dialogical catechesis are effective solutions in facing the challenges of inculturation. The practical implications of this research suggest that a humanistic and contextual catechetical-pastoral approach can strengthen the involvement of the Malind-Anim people in church life while respecting their cultural heritage.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the unique characteristics of Generation Z (Gen Z) and to formulate a relevant and inclusive categorical pastoral strategy for Catholic Youth (OMK) in Maria Di Angkat Ke Surga Parish, specifically addressing the challenges of individualism and massive modernization. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using literature review and pastoral reflection methods, grounded in participant observation and secondary data from Church documents. The key finding indicates that effective pastoral strategy requires harmonizing face-to-face activities (such as choir and social gatherings) with structured digital accompaniment. OMK is susceptible to shallow personal relationships and decreased liturgical participation; thus, an authentic, empowerment-oriented, and participatory community (in line with the principles of Christus Vivit) is crucial. The recommended model emphasizes the formation of small groups for deep sharing and delegating real responsibilities to OMK as active subjects, supported by personal mentoring and the adaptation of digital media as a supplement.

Abstract

The misuse of glue among minors is a phenomenon that is gaining increasing attention due to its serious impact on children's physical and psychological health. This study aims to identify the underlying factors that cause deviant behaviour among minors, as well as to describe the impact of glue sniffing on child development and the preventive and curative measures that can be taken. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interviews, and documentation methods, this study explores the internal, external, and social factors that contribute to glue sniffing. The research informants consisted of ten people, including glue sniffers, parents, mentors, community leaders, and environmental managers in Kamundu Village, Merauke Regency, South Papua, Indonesia. The results of the study show that the main contributing factors include a lack of supervision and attention from the family, the influence of the environment and peers, economic factors, a lack of understanding about the dangers of glue sniffing, and the easy availability of glue. The impacts experienced by children include physical growth disorders, mental disorders, and decreased cognitive function. Preventive and curative efforts involve a holistic approach that combines family guidance, community education, pastoral support from the Church, and government policies. The study concluded that addressing the problem of glue abuse requires intensive collaboration between parents, the community, the church, and the government to protect children from the adverse effects of substance abuse.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between large-scale agrarian development, the rate of deforestation, and the independence of the Marind Indigenous People’s Institution (Lembaga Masyarakat Adat/LMA) in Merauke Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten informants, including representatives of the LMA, affected communities, local government officials, and investors, and were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model. The findings reveal that large-scale agrarian projects, developed within the framework of the Food Estate Program and Plantation Investments, have significantly contributed to forest conversion and the weakening of Marind customary authority. These projects have not only caused the physical loss of forests but also the loss of the Marind people’s living space and their spiritual relationship with nature. Forests, which for centuries have constituted the core of their identity and livelihood, have now been transformed into economic assets governed by the logic of capital and state bureaucracy. Consequently, deforestation should not be understood merely as an environmental phenomenon but as a cultural and political crisis reflecting the fragility of mechanisms protecting indigenous rights. The Marind LMA often faces marginalization in land release processes, while local communities receive disproportionate compensation. This study recommends agrarian policy reforms that prioritize indigenous and environmental interests, the strengthening of customary institutional capacities, and the integration of local wisdom into land governance.
