Abstract

This article interprets the Katoba Tradition in Muna culture as a cultural pedagogy of repentance and examines it from the perspective of Catholic theology, particularly in relation to the Sacrament of Penance. Rather than equating Katoba with the sacrament, this study argues that Katoba functions as a preparatory horizon that forms moral, awareness, responsibility, and openness to conversion. Using a qualitative literature-based approach supported by contextual insights, the article analyses the symbolic and ethical dimensions of Katoba in dialogue with Catholic understanding of repentance, reconciliation, and sacramental grace. Grounded in biblical theology and Church teaching, the study identifies both convergences and limits between Katoba and the Sacrament of Penance. While Katoba emphasizes moral purification and social harmony, the sacrament offers holistic reconciliation with God and the Church through Christ’s salvific grace. Employing Bevans’ synthesis and countercultural models, this article proposes an inculturative approach that respects Muna culture while safeguarding the theological uniqueness of the Sacrament of Penance.

Abstract

Indonesia's multicultural education system presents a unique challenge for educational research. This paper examines the persistent paradigmatic tension between positivism and interpretivism in Indonesian educational research and argues for a context sensitive mixed methods approach that rise above this traditional dichotomy. While positivism offers valuable tools for identifying broad patterns and informing national policy through quantitative methods, it frequently fails to capture the cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic complexities at the local level. Conversely, interpretivism provides deep and contextual understanding through qualitative inquiry but often struggles to achieve broader applicability and policy relevance. Through a critical comparative analysis of paradigm foundations and examination of Indonesian case studies this paper demonstrates how a reflexive, ethically grounded mixed-methods praxis can bridge this divide. The paper contributes a framework for Indonesian educational researchers that emphasizes paradigmatic reflexivity, methodological flexibility, ethical consideration of power relations, and active community engagement.

Abstract

The study explores the role of the Personal Evangelization School (PES) as a structured model of lay formation in fostering apostolate spirituality within the contemporary Church, particularly in the Indonesian context and the digital era. Rooted in the ecclesiology of the Second Vatican Council, the study responds to challenges such as secularization, limited lay formation, and the expansion of digital culture. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on literature review and supported by observational data from PES activities in the Suffragan Diocese of Bogor, the study analyzes the theological foundations and pastoral practices of PES. The findings show that PES effectively cultivates lay apostolate spirituality by integrating personal encounter with Christ, communal participation, and missionary engagement. A key contribution of the study lies in demonstrating how digital platforms, such as Zoom, reshape the nature of ―personal encounter‖ through mediated, dialogical, and reflective interactions. While these digital encounters foster authentic forms of communion, They remain distinct from the embodied presence required in sacramental life. In conclusion, PES emerges as a strategic pastoral instrument that bridges theological reflection and pastoral praxis, forming missionary disciples capable of engaging both physical and digital spaces.

Abstract

This study is grounded in the phenomenon of double religious belonging among Catholic communities in Sumba who continue to perform the Marapu death prayer, a practice often perceived as potentially generating theological tension. The aim of this research is to examine the theological meaning of the Marapu death prayer and to situate it within the framework of inculturated theology. The study employs a qualitative approach with an ethnographic theological design, using interviews, participant observation, and thematic analysis, which are then interpreted through a Translation Model based on the principle of double fidelity. The findings indicate that the Marapu death prayer embodies five principal meanings: death as a cosmic transition, sacrifice as a mediation of divine relationship, ancestral relation as a transgenerational community, cosmic harmony, and awareness of divine hiddenness. These findings affirm that the practice does not represent a conflict of faith, but rather a religious expression that opens an analogical space for theological dialogue. Consequently, the Marapu death prayer may be understood as a locus theologicus that enriches contextual theology and encourages a more dialogical, contextual, and non-reductionist pastoral approach within the Church.

Abstract

The following research aims to explore the complex and multifaceted meaning of the gift through the inquiries of various scholars. Using the descriptive and analytical approach, this study examines the words associated with the experience of the gift. The guiding question to be elaborated is what the gift means and how it may ground ethical concern. The results of the study show that the word “gift” is polysemous and functions as a moral category of relation, expressed through generosity, recognition, and communion. The noun “gift”, rooted in the verb “to give”, corresponds to the ideas of donum, munus, and charis. As a relational category, the gift is constituted by the giver, the receiver and the given object, but ultimately reflects God’s grace that sustains human acts of living hospitably in koinonia. This research suggests that the gift, rooted in God’s own self-giving love, provides a foundation for the ethical concern as persons called to communion and discipleship in Christ. Acknowledging that gift is not a private possesion but a relational reality, this study contributes to moral responsibility and social commitment.
Letting Go To Become Whole, Celebrating The Love-Sorrow Theopoetics Through the Mystical Path of Meister Eckhart in the Song “I Love You But I’m Letting Go” by Pamungkas Butarbutar, Josua Estomihi; Tamawiwy, August Corneles

Abstract

This article explores the concept of radical letting go (Gelassenheit) as a path to self-wholeness, integrating the mysticism of Meister Eckhart and the theopoetics proposed by John D. Caputo, using the song "I Love You But I'm Letting Go" (Pamungkas) as a case study. Letting go—whether in human relationships, images of God, or the ego—is analyzed as an act of liberating faith, where love-sorrow—simultaneously wound and love—becomes the sacred space for divine birth. Through a radical hermeneutic approach, the study reveals that: Detachment (Abgeschiedenheit) and the emptiness of the soul are prerequisites for union with the Divine (Grunt/ground). Furthermore, Pamungkas' song reflects the dynamics of creatio ex profundis—the birth of meaning from chaos (tehom), aligning with Caputo's critique of creatio ex nihilo. Additionally, trauma and wounds are not failures, but living witnesses that shape true identity and open space for "the impossible." Finally, the act of "letting go" is a contemporary liturgy celebrating fragility, simultaneously responding to the divine "insistence" that works within the uncertainty of an event. In conclusion, the theopoetics of this song offer a paradox where wholeness is achieved precisely through total release—even from images of God and self—allowing humans to become a "home" for the Divine that celebrates life in freedom, fragility, and wholeness.
