Abstract

The technocratic paradigm and anthropocentric worldview in modern society have driven the intensive exploitation of natural resources, resulting in significant negative impacts on environmental sustainability. This study highlights the case of Ketapang Regency in West Kalimantan, which has experienced severe ecological degradation due to massive deforestation driven by palm oil plantation expansion, mining activities, and illegal exploitation. The aim of this research is to examine the relevance of the integral ecology approach as proposed by Pope Francis in the encyclical Laudato Si’ as a strategy for mitigating environmental damage at the local level. Using a literature review method that draws from Church documents, ecological literature, and contextual data from Ketapang, the study finds that the integral ecology framework—encompassing environmental, social, economic, and cultural dimensions—offers a sustainable, just, and participatory solution, particularly in protecting the rights and roles of indigenous communities. The findings show that integral ecology is not merely a conceptual framework but also an ethical and spiritual foundation that can foster ecological awareness among communities and support more holistic environmental policies. This study is expected to contribute to the reformulation of sustainable regional development policies and strengthen the role of religious communities in ecological education and grassroots action.

Abstract

Tulisan ini mengkaji hubungan ontologis antara alam dan manusia dengan menggunakan filsafat Maurice Merleau-Ponty sebagai kerangka analisis utama. Kerusakan ekologis yang terjadi dewasa ini seperti banjir, tanah longsor, kebakaran hutan, polusi udara, dan pemanasan global mencerminkan kerenggangan relasi manusia dengan alam yang berakar pada pola pikir antroposentris, materialistis, saintistik, dan konsumtif. Cara pandang ini memisahkan manusia dari alam dan menempatkan alam semata sebagai objek eksploitasi demi keuntungan manusia. Merleau-Ponty menawarkan perspektif fenomenologis bahwa manusia adalah pengada bertubuh embodied being yang keberadaannya selalu terjalin secara koeksistensial dengan dunia. Melalui kesadaran prereflektif dan intensionalitas operatif, Merleau-Ponty memperlihatkan bahwa tubuh manusia bukan sekadar entitas biologis, melainkan medium yang memungkinkan manusia menghadapi, mengalami, dan menyatu dengan dunia. Dalam kerangka ini, manusia dan alam merupakan kesatuan ontologis yang tidak dapat dipisahkan; tubuh manusia hadir di dalam dunia sebagaimana dunia hadir dalam tubuh. Dengan demikian, tindakan merusak alam secara ekologis dan struktural berarti juga merusak struktur eksistensi manusia itu sendiri. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah menunjukkan bahwa pemulihan hubungan manusia dan alam memerlukan perubahan paradigma dari cara pandang yang dualistik dan objektifikatif menuju kesadaran akan kebertubuhan manusia di dalam dunia. Dengan memahami kembali diri sebagai bagian integral dari alam, manusia dapat mengembangkan sikap ekologis yang lebih bertanggung jawab. Tulisan ini disusun melalui metode kualitatif studi pustaka berdasarkan buku, jurnal, esai dan artikel ilmiah yang relevan.

Abstract

The Paka Di’a ritual is one of the death traditions in Manggarai culture, rich in spiritual, social, and cultural meanings. This tradition functions as an act of honoring ancestral spirits, strengthening family bonds, and preserving local wisdom. This study aims to understand Paka Di’a as a space of encounter between local culture and the Catholic Church’s tradition through the perspective of inculturation, as well as to explore its significance for the faith life of Manggarai Catholic communities. The research employs a qualitative approach using interviews and documentation involving traditional leaders, religious figures, and local community members. The findings show that Paka Di’a contains values that resonate with Catholic teachings, such as belief in life after death, prayers for the deceased, sacrifice, solidarity, and communal togetherness, manifested in the integration of traditional prayers with liturgical prayers and in communal acts of solidarity. This encounter demonstrates how local traditions can become a medium that enriches expressions of faith and broadens the community’s understanding of the relationship between culture and the Church. Thus, Paka Di’a serves not only as a means of preserving Manggarai cultural identity but also as a medium of inculturation that strengthens and enriches the faith life of Catholic believers in the Manggarai context.
Tradisi Marhata Sinamot dalam Adat Perkawinan Batak Toba: Kajian Sosiologi Agama dan Pandangan Gereja Katolik Tjang, Yanto Sandy; Soeryamassoka, Herkulana Mekarryani; Situmorang, Yosephin Metauli; Andry, Vensius Rico Novi; Iswaraningsih, Theresia Lina; Ubeq, Victoria Julianti Siska

Abstract

This study examines the meaning and function of the Marhata Sinamot tradition in Batak Toba customary marriage and its relationship with Catholic teaching within the framework of the sociology of religion. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature study, it draws on the thought of Durkheim, Weber, Marx, and Berger, as well as Church documents on inculturation. The findings show that Marhata Sinamot functions as a rite that reinforces social integration and kinship cohesion (Durkheim), and reflects actions driven by moral values and family social status (Weber). From Marx’s perspective, sinamot maintains economic relations and resource distribution patterns, while Berger highlights its role in shaping the social construction of reality that provides symbolic legitimacy to kinship structures. Although recognizing positive values such as respect for women’s dignity, family responsibility, and social solidarity, the Catholic Church emphasizes that sinamot does not determine the validity of the sacrament of marriage. The study concludes that Marhata Sinamot remains culturally and religiously relevant when practiced proportionally in line with Church teaching. Recommendations include pre-marital catechesis, dialogue with customary leaders, inculturated liturgical guidelines, and family economic empowerment to support faith formation and the preservation of Batak Toba cultural identity in modern society.
Manghobasi dalam Batak Toba sebagai Ekspresi Kasih dan Persekutuan dalam Gereja Katolik: Studi Fenomenologis Lumban Tobing, Ona Sastri; Handayani, Exnasia Retno Palupi; Astuti, Florentina Dwi; Meman, Oktavianey Gasperius Patana Hamahena

Abstract

The manghobasi tradition in Batak Toba culture represents a form of communal solidarity and mutual assistance deeply rooted in social life. Within the context of Batak Toba Catholic communities, manghobasi is not merely a social act but also an expression of love and ecclesial communion grounded in the teachings of Christ. This study aims to explore the meaning of manghobasi among Batak Toba Catholics and to identify the theological values embodied in this practice. The research employs a qualitative phenomenological approach, focusing on the lived experiences of Catholic believers who practice manghobasi. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and Questionnaire, then analyzed using data reduction, meaning categorization, and thematic description. The findings reveal that manghobasi encompasses three essential meanings: (1) as a manifestation of God’s love through selfless service to others; (2) as an expression of ecclesial communion, strengthening solidarity and togetherness within the community; and (3) as a form of inculturated Catholic faith in Batak Toba culture, where Gospel values are embodied in local tradition. Thus, manghobasi bridges faith and culture, serving as a pastoral inspiration for the Church to nurture love and solidarity among the faithful.

Abstract

Marriage in the Catholic Church is characterized by unity and indissolubility. This means that if a marriage in the Catholic Church is one and indissoluble, but a divorce still occurs, the divorce is considered invalid under Catholic Church law. Therefore, the researcher conducted this study to address the rampant divorce cases in society and, of course, to highlight Catholics who undergo civil divorces. Civil divorce can be legalized by the state due to several factors that cause divorce. However, on the other hand, civil divorce makes it very difficult for Catholics to remarry in the Catholic Church. Therefore, divorce itself has a significant social impact in society, for example, it becomes a topic of discussion, especially when the person files for an annulment only to remarry with another person. This case has become a hot topic that the researcher observed in the church circles. In essence, the results of this study are about a civil divorce and the desire to remarry in the Catholic Church, which becomes an obstacle to marriage that is invalid according to the Code of Canon Law. As well as the impact of civil divorce itself. This research employed qualitative methods, including literature review and guidance from Church documents (KHK), as well as participant observation during a six-month stay with the congregation at the station. The researchers also utilized previous scientific research relevant to the research topic. The study's conclusions provide information on the causes of obstacles to marriage under Catholic Church law and the impact of civil divorce on Catholics.

Abstract

This study examines the meaning and function of the greeting Horas within the context of Batak Toba Catholic communities, focusing on its relevance and application to Catholic faith values in daily life. As a traditional Batak salutation, Horasserves not only as a medium of social communication but also represents theological and cultural dimensions embodying concepts of salvation, harmony, and well-being from a Catholic perspective. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and literature review of cultural texts and relevant Catholic Church documents. The findings show that the philosophical meaning of Horas is coherently linked to Catholic teachings regarding love, peace, and hope for eternal life, functioning as a medium for faith inculturation within Batak culture. The practice of Horas among Batak Catholics exemplifies harmonious integration between local cultural values and Christian spirituality, shaping a strong religious identity amid cultural plurality. This study affirms the importance of inculturative approaches in understanding faith expressions and encourages the preservation of local noble values in the development of religious life that is contextual and relevant for contemporary Indonesian society.

Abstract

The problem in this study is the low involvement of young families in church activities in the Saint Sesilia Parish, Pontianak Archdiocese. This is evident from the minimal participation of families in the celebration of Wedding Anniversary (HUP). Of the 50 family couples recorded in the Diocesan Community Data Integration Base (BIDUK) as families celebrating HUP in that month, only 6 couples participated in the HUP celebration. This research is a qualitative study with a descriptive qualitative method. The research subjects were determined by purposive sampling, consisting of six informants: four young families in the Saint Bernadinus of Siena Community, one Parish Priest of Saint Sesilia Pontianak, and one from the Family Apostolate Section coordinator. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions using triangulation of sources and techniques to ensure data validity. Based on the research results, it was found that young families have a good understanding of the nature of Catholic marriage according to Canon 1055 §1, namely as a sacred covenant that forms a complete life partnership between husband and wife, which is eternal, open to the gift of children, and responsible for educating children in the Catholic faith. The Church through the Parish of Santa Cecilia has tried to carry out pastoral responsibilities as mandated by Canon 1063 by implementing Marriage Preparation Courses (KPP) and HUP celebrations as a form of family accompaniment. Therefore, it can be concluded that the understanding of young families in the St. Bernadinus Siena Community is good, although continuous accompaniment from the Church is still needed and implemented so that young families become more mature in faith, strong in loyalty, and able to become examples as a domestic Church in the community.

Abstract

Masalah dalam Penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan bentuk aktualisasi sikap toleransi, mengidentifikasi tantangan dan peluang, serta menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhinya. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari  peserta didik kelas VI, Kepala Sekolah, Guru Pendidikan Agama Katolik, dan seorang guru beragama Islam. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara terstruktur, dan dokumentasi, dengan uji keabsahan menggunakan triangulasi sumber dan teknik. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi, penyajian, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sikap toleransi peserta didik Katolik mulai berkembang dan tercermin melalui perilaku saling menghargai pendapat, bekerja sama dalam kelompok, serta kesediaan berinteraksi dengan teman berbeda agama. Namun, implementasinya belum merata dan belum berlangsung secara berkesinambungan pada seluruh peserta didik. Tantangan yang ditemukan antara lain keterbatasan pemahaman tentang toleransi, kecenderungan bermain dengan teman seagama, serta pengaruh stereotip yang masih muncul dalam interaksi sehari-hari. Meskipun demikian, terdapat peluang yang mendukung penguatan toleransi, seperti peran guru dalam memberikan pembiasaan, lingkungan sekolah yang heterogen, serta dukungan nilai pendidikan agama yang menekankan sikap saling menghormati. Faktor yang memengaruhi aktualisasi sikap toleransi meliputi lingkungan keluarga, pergaulan sebaya, pembiasaan guru, serta pengalaman belajar peserta didik di sekolah. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa aktualisasi nilai toleransi pada peserta didik Katolik di SDN 05 Boti sudah mulai terlihat, tetapi masih memerlukan pendampingan dan pembiasaan yang lebih terarah agar dapat berkembang secara optimal.

Abstract

This article examines the Franciscan spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi through the lens of peace theology and interreligious dialogue. Amid escalating religious and cultural tensions in today’s world, Francis’ spiritual legacy offers a new paradigm that integrates Christian mysticism with universal peacemaking praxis. This study employs a historical-theological approach, exploring Francis’ encounter with Sultan Malik al-Kamil during the Crusades and its theological significance for interfaith relations. The findings reveal that Franciscan spirituality is not only contemplative but also dynamic and open to interreligious engagement. Its spirit of peace, love for all creation, and simplicity of life provide a unique contribution to a world marked by violence, materialism, and religious exclusivism. This study emphasizes the relevance of Francis’ legacy as a source of inspiration for global dialogue and the building of a culture of peace. Practically, it calls both the Church and multicultural societies to rediscover spiritual values rooted in history to strengthen human solidarity
