Abstract

This article examines the conversion of Saint Dismas in Luke 23:39–43 to uncover its theological meaning and relevance for contemporary Christians. Using a qualitative, descriptive-analytical literature review, it analyses the biblical text through a hermeneutical approach alongside recent theological scholarship. The findings show that Dismas’s conversion comprises three key elements: awareness of sin, confession of faith in Jesus, and acceptance of saving grace, which form a basic paradigm for understanding the Sacrament of Penance and Christian renewal of life. Jesus’ promise, “Today you will be with Me in Paradise,” affirms the universality and immediacy of God’s saving grace that transcends time and social status. These insights speak to Christians today, who face individualism, moral relativism, and a tendency to postpone conversion. Saint Dismas thus inspires Church and faithful to practice ongoing repentance, open themselves to God’s forgiveness, and foster a culture of mercy in personal, family, and social life. Keywords: Conversion; Pastoral Theology; Sacrament of Penance; Saint Dismas; Saving Grace.

Abstract

Liturgy is the summit and source of life in the Catholic Church. In the celebration of the liturgy, the People of God participate in the mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection. In the context of Indonesia, which consists of diverse ethnicities and cultures, inculturation becomes a highly promising means to make Christ more present in an Indonesian cultural form. This study aims to examine, from theological and pastoral perspectives, the practice of liturgical inculturation in the Catholic Church of East Barito in light of the Second Vatican Council document Sacrosanctum Concilium. The main focus of this research is to understand how Dayak culture is integrated into liturgical celebrations without changing the essence of the Catholic faith and how this process enriches the faith experience of the local community. The research method used is library research, involving an in-depth analysis of Church documents, academic literature, and relevant studies related to contextual liturgy and cultural inculturation. The findings indicate that Sacrosanctum Concilium provides a strong theological foundation for liturgical renewal and openness to local cultural values. Liturgical inculturation in East Barito is manifested through the use of local languages, traditional music, indigenous symbols, and local architecture in the celebration of the liturgy, which deepens the participation of the faithful and strengthens their identity as Dayak Catholics. However, the study also reveals challenges such as the risk of syncretism, superficial understanding of cultural symbols, and differing interpretations between the faithful and Church leaders. Therefore, continuous liturgical formation and intercultural dialogue are necessary so that inculturation does not remain merely aesthetic but truly becomes a means of evangelization and an encounter with Christ who is present within Dayak culture. This research is expected to serve as a reference for developing catechetical and pastoral inculturation in the Indonesian Catholic Church.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis krisis pengalaman iman yang dialami para mahasiswa calon katekis dalam proses formasi di STP-IPI Malang, khususnya berkaitan dengan keringnya dimensi mistagogis dalam pembinaan. Formasi katekis idealnya mengintegrasikan pembinaan intelektual, pastoral, dan spiritual sehingga menghasilkan pewarta iman yang tidak hanya kompeten secara akademis, tetapi juga memiliki pengalaman iman yang mendalam. Namun, banyak mahasiswa mengungkapkan bahwa proses formasi lebih menekankan aspek akademis dan teknis, sementara ruang untuk pendalaman batin, keheningan, retret, serta pendampingan spiritual belum terstruktur secara kuat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif-fenomenologis dengan wawancara mendalam, observasi kegiatan formasi, serta studi dokumentasi terhadap kurikulum STP-IPI Malang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya beberapa bentuk krisis pengalaman iman, seperti ketidakstabilan relasi pribadi dengan Allah, rutinitas formasi yang cenderung mekanis, rendahnya kualitas refleksi rohani, serta minimnya pendampingan mistagogis yang menyentuh pengalaman perjumpaan dengan Allah. Faktor dominan yang memengaruhi krisis ini mencakup beban akademik yang tinggi, kurangnya kegiatan spiritual terstruktur, dinamika pribadi mahasiswa, serta pengaruh budaya digital yang melemahkan kedalaman batin. Temuan penelitian ini menegaskan perlunya revitalisasi formasi mistagogis melalui pendampingan rohani yang konsisten, integrasi pengalaman iman ke dalam kurikulum, serta pembentukan habitus kontemplatif yang dapat menumbuhkan identitas katekis sebagai pewarta iman yang otentik. Implikasi penelitian ini berkontribusi pada penguatan model formasi katekis yang lebih holistik, transformatif, dan berorientasi pada pengalaman iman.

Abstract

This study aims to thoroughly describe the forms of apperception used, analyze how teachers implement apperception in the learning process, and identify the crucial role of apperception in enhancing students' learning readiness in Catholic Religion and Character Education subjects at State Elementary School 003 Tumbit Dayak. Employing a qualitative research approach, this study focuses on understanding the phenomenon contextually and in depth. Primary data was collected through a series of in-depth interviews with fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade students, as well as the Catholic Religion teacher at the school. In addition to interviews, direct classroom observations during the learning process and analysis of relevant documents were conducted to gather comprehensive data. The data processing technique involved stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, utilizing coding, categorization, and thematic analysis of interview data to identify emerging patterns and themes. The research results consistently show that the Catholic Religion teacher routinely applied apperception at the beginning of each lesson. The most dominant forms of apperception used included stories, discussion-triggering questions, and brief lectures relevant to the material. Despite facing limitations in facilities and modern learning media, the teacher made significant efforts to create connections between students' daily experiences and new material, making the learning process more meaningful. The implementation of apperception proved to have a significant positive impact on students' mental and emotional readiness. Through appropriate apperception, students became more focused, enthusiastic, and showed increased active participation in lessons. These findings affirm that apperception not only functions as an opening strategy but also as an essential bridge facilitating understanding and connection between old and new knowledge, thereby preparing students to receive information more readily. However, challenges such as time constraints and a lack of supporting media remain concerns requiring further teacher creativity.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the concept of simulated matrimonial consent in Catholic marriage, particularly in relation to the validity of the marriage and the process of its annulment. Using a qualitative approach through literature study and juridical analysis, this research investigates the canonical norms governing matrimonial consent and the way these norms function in assessing the authenticity of an act of the will. The juridical analysis employed here is understood as a method of interpreting phenomena through a legal lens; evaluating their normative foundations, tracing their application in tribunal practice, and identifying the legal consequences for the status of the marriage. Within this framework, the study explores how the act of simulating consent, whether total or partial, disrupts the integrity of intention that forms the core of the sacrament of marriage. The validity of a Catholic marriage presupposes an alignment between internal will and external expression, by which two persons mutually give themselves to establish a communion of life (communio vitae). However, cases still arise in which one or both spouses engage in a simulation of consent, creating a discrepancy between internal intention and outward declaration. Simulated matrimonial consent (simulatio consensus) refers to a situation in which a person outwardly says “yes” during the wedding ceremony but internally rejects the consent being expressed. The findings show that simulated consent is not merely an internal issue of intention; it also produces concrete effects on the couple’s lived experience, including relational tension, misalignment of common life goals, and emotional distress, factors that often lead to petitions for annulment. These findings indicate that the simulation of consent is a significant element in ecclesiastical tribunal discernment when determining whether a marriage was validly contracted. This study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the nature of matrimonial consent from a canonical perspective. It highlights the urgency of assessing intentionality in determining validity and offers pastoral implications for Church ministers, enabling them to guide couples with greater prudence, prevent defects of consent, and accompany those facing marital difficulties related to the integrity of the will.

Abstract

This study aims to understand how the Sauan Sibarrung Credit Union serves as a space of encounter that strengthens fraternal relationships between Catholics and various Christian churches in Toraja. The research focuses on the concrete experiences of members as they engage in the dynamics of dialogue of life through the socio-economic activities they carry out together. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method, involving 138 respondents who provided answers through questionnaires and guided interviews. This was complemented by a literature review of relevant Church documents and previous studies. The findings show that the Sauan Sibarrung Credit Union is perceived as an inclusive institution that embraces ecclesial diversity and facilitates cooperation that fosters trust, solidarity, and mutual respect among its members. Torajan cultural values, such as the spirit of sharing, communal kinship, and faithfulness, form an essential foundation in creating an atmosphere of togetherness across different churches. These shared economic practices, member education, and community development activities not only support social empowerment but also embody a form of grassroots ecumenism that grows organically from daily encounters. This study demonstrates that the Sauan Sibarrung Credit Union can be understood as a model of ecumenical praxis that integrates local cultural life, Christian spirituality, and concrete social collaboration.

Abstract

This article seeks to critically examine the ethical principles of leadership articulated in the Bible, with particular attention to the Book of Wisdom of Solomon 6:1–11, and to explore their relevance for local-level public policy, especially the policy of the Manggarai Regency Government concerning the geothermal project in Poco Leok. Wisdom 6:1–11 underscores that political authority is a divine gift that entails profound moral accountability on the part of leaders. Within the framework of political theology, as articulated by Johann Baptist Metz, power is not construed merely as an administrative or technocratic function, but as an ethical vocation oriented toward the realization of justice and solidarity within the public sphere. Political authorities are thus summoned to uphold justice, to prioritize the well-being of marginalized communities, and to ground their decision-making processes in divine wisdom. In the context of the ongoing controversy surrounding the Poco Leok geothermal project, this study advances a political-theological reflection that critically interrogates prevailing practices of power and evaluates the extent to which biblical principles of wisdom and justice may inform public policies oriented toward the protection of human dignity and the integrity of creation. The study argues that leadership rooted in divine wisdom transcends the mere pursuit of technological advancement, and instead affirms ecological and social justice as concrete expressions of participation in God’s salvific action in the world.

Abstract

Christian faith is always lived in dialogue with the concrete life context of believers, including local cultural values that shape perspectives on the meaning of life, success, and human dignity. In the context of Batak Toba society, life orientation is traditionally articulated through three core values: hamoraon, hagabeon, and hasangapon, which function both as a philosophy of life and as social norms. These values implicitly influence how students understand life, success, and blessing within Catholic Religious Education. However, systematic theological studies that reinterpret these values in the light of Johannine theology remain limited. This study aims to reinterpret the Batak Toba philosophy of life: hamoraon, hagabeon, and hasangapon from the perspective of Johannine theology and to examine its implications for Catholic Religious Education. The research employs a qualitative approach using contextual theological methodology through a critical dialogue between Batak Toba cultural values and key theological themes in the Gospel of John, such as life (zoē), new birth, and glory (doxa). The findings indicate that the Gospel of John does not negate Batak Toba cultural values but rather purifies and transforms them. Hamoraon is reinterpreted as an orientation toward abundant life grounded in relationship with God and others; hagabeon is understood as a call to the continuity of life in faith and birth from the Spirit; and hasangapon is redefined as Christian dignity rooted in love and self-giving rather than social prestige. This reinterpretation offers both theological and pedagogical contributions to the development of Catholic Religious Education that is contextual, critical, and faithful to the Gospel, particularly within the cultural context of the Batak Toba community.

Abstract

This research is driven by a semantic and ethnosemantic understanding of the Kawula Pitados prayer in the Javanese Catholic tradition in Yogyakarta. This prayer not only serves as an expression of faith, but also as a representation of the religious culture of the Javanese Catholic community, particularly in Yogyakarta, which combines elements of local tradition, language, and theology. One of the new aspects of this research is an in-depth analysis using ethnosemantic theory regarding the linguistic relationship in the Kawula Pitados prayer with the Javanese Catholic community. The purpose of this research is to find the relationship between the meaning, interpretation, and role of prayer in shaping Javanese Catholic identity. Prayer text analysis and semantic interpretation were used as qualitative research methods. The result is a mapping of semantic-theological meanings and the relationship between the Kawula Pitados prayer and reverence for Jesus Christ as the Creator, which is also reflected in the Javanese culture of Mikul Duwur Mendhem Jero, which means to uphold, kindness, and honor a respected person. The attitude and actions of Javanese people who always want to glorify those who are more influential, or in the context of prayer, glorify Jesus Christ himself. The results of this study show that the Kawula Pitados prayer reflects the integration of universal Catholic faith with Javanese religious expression, presenting the kawula-gusti relationship as a symbol of submission as well as eschatological hope. Thus, the Kawula Pitados prayer reflects an attitude of respect that is also reflected in Javanese tradition, helping to build religious identity and emphasizing that language functions as a space where theology and culture meet.
