Abstract

Nature and humans are two entities that cannot be separated from each other. Both are in an integral unity that is interdependent. This pattern has been lived by local communities for a long time. Their lifestyle is more friendly to nature than the modern anthropocentric pattern. The Tombulu community in Rumengkor Village has a unique understanding and appreciation of the relationship between nature and humans. The pattern of appreciation clearly shows mutual respect and appreciation, the importance of nature conservation, and harmony. Humans are part of nature as an integral organic unit, which can coexist in a harmonious relationship. This paper aims to explore this through a qualitative-descriptive approach, with a descriptive-analytic writing style.

Abstract

The focus of this research is to analyze the ethical aspects and identify the potential for practical implementation of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit according to Saint Augustine in the use of humanizing artificial intelligence. This research aims to analyze the ethical aspects of the implementation of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit according to Saint Augustine in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) and identify the strengths and opportunities associated with their practical use. This research method uses a philosophical analysis approach to Saint Augustine's thoughts on the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit as well as their application in the development of humanizing AI. The results show that the practical implementation of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit in AI has great potential to produce technology that is oriented towards justice, equality, and improving the quality of life. The power of AI in accelerating decision-making and improving efficiency is also highlighted as an important factor. The main conclusion of this study is that an ethical approach based on religious values can be a valuable guide in the development and application of AI technologies that are mindful of human well-being.

Abstract

Currently, the world is suffering from an ecological crisis. The crisis results from human behavior that tends to be destructive towards nature. Humans regard themselves to be in control of other creatures. Nature is seen only as an entity created to serve all their needs. Faced with this situation, Pope Francis through his Encyclical Laudato Si' calls for the importance of re-reflecting harmony among all creation in the light of faith and revelation. He highlights the fact that there is an integral relationship among humans, other elements of creation, and God. In fact, this way of seeing things has already existed in certain local wisdom, such as the ‘nun’i and ‘saef’ traditions in the Dawan community. This essay purports to examine the ecotheological meaning of the two local traditions. The method used to collect data is a qualitative one with interviews and literature studies. The finding of this study is that the nuni and saef traditions embody respect for nature. The respect emerges from an awareness that nature has been playing an important role in the life history of the Dawan people. Nature, furthermore, is desribed as a part of God as well as a locus of His presence. Thus, the respect for nature leads them to a relationship with God the Creator. Between the two local wisdom (nuni and saef) and Laudato Si', there exists the same value with regard to the relationship between humans, nature, and God.

Abstract

This article discussed the hermeneutics of the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council. Liturgical reform has been of the most important fruits that the Second Vatican Council produced for the life of the Church. However, the liturgical reform, especially the one of ordo missae, has been one of the most debated issues in the Catholic Church since the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) until now. The implementation of liturgical reform after the Second Vatican Council was not only welcomed with warm reception, but also with critical attitudes and even rejection. This article showed that the debates and controversies surrounding liturgical reform are rooted in different hermeneutics regarding the Second Vatican Council, and specifically regarding the Constitution of Liturgy. The problem actually arises from two conflicting and contradictory hermeneutics and interpretations. On the one hand there is a so-called hermeneutic of discontinuity and rupture. On the other hand, there is a hermeneutic of reform, or a hermeneutic of renewal in continuity with the one Church.

Abstract

The Christian family holds a central role as a living sign of God's love and a tangible manifestation of His plan of salvation. However, amidst modernity marked by secularization, individualism, and moral crises, families face significant challenges that test their vocation as a community of love. Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), a pastoral and theological document by Pope Francis, reflects on the family's call to remain faithful to Gospel values despite the pressures of changing times. This article elaborates on the teachings of the document, focusing on the theological dimensions of unconditional love, forgiveness that builds relationships, and commitment that affirms the family's dignity as a sacred institution. This reflective approach emphasizes the vital role of the Church as a companion and supporter of families in confronting modern challenges, enabling Christian families to become sacraments of love that radiate the light of Christ to the world.

Abstract

Amid rapid technological advancement, globalization, and socio-political transformation, the concept of human dignity faces renewed ethical and anthropological challenges. This article critically examines Dignitas Infinita, the 2024 Declaration of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, focusing on its theological articulation of human dignity within a Christian anthropological framework. Employing qualitative textual and theological analysis, the study argues that the declaration advances a non-reductionist understanding of dignity as ontological, inherent, and inalienable, grounded in creation imago Dei  and fulfilled through redemption in Christ. The article analyses how  Dignitas Infinita  responds to contemporary threats to human dignity, including digital instrumentalization, utilitarian ethics, social injustice, environmental degradation, and systemic violence such as war, poverty, human trafficking, and discrimination. It contends that the declaration offers a coherent normative framework that resists the objectification of the human person and reaffirms dignity as a foundational principle for ethics and human rights discourse. The study concludes that  Dignitas Infinita contributes significantly to contemporary moral theology by calling for shared moral responsibility in the pursuit of justice, solidarity, and sustainable human flourishing.

Abstract

The biblical history of salvation originates in humanity’s fall into sin and God’s immediate promise of redemption, articulated in Genesis 3:15 as the protoevangelium. This promise unfolds progressively within Israel’s history through patriarchs, mediators, and prophets, and reaches its definitive fulfillment in Jesus Christ, particularly in the Paschal Mystery of his passion, death, and resurrection. This salvific event constitutes the decisive manifestation of God’s redemptive love, liberating humanity from sin and opening the horizon of eternal life. Catholic theology affirms that, while salvation is fully accomplished in Christ, it is not confined to a past historical moment. Rather, the Paschal Mystery remains efficacious and present throughout history, especially in the Eucharist, where it is sacramentally re-presented. The Church, therefore, is entrusted with the mission to proclaim, celebrate, and embody this mystery until the consummation of time.

Abstract

Human living in the modern world that are increasingly losing the deep meaning of the heart. Modern humans who are increasingly losing their hearts are shown from various phenomena and conflicts that occur in this day. Phenomena and conflicts that occur in the modern world such as poverty, consumer culture, egoism and so on show that the world is increasingly losing its heart. The heart is the deepest center of the existence of living beings that connects the soul and body. Meanwhile, the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the center that leads every person to salvation through compassion aimed at the world. The deep union between the human heart and the Divine heart opens a door that has so far blocked sincere love between fellow human beings, especially those who are marginalized. The encounter of our hearts with the Sacred Heart of Jesus unites us with others, healing the wounds that arise from ourselves and others. His Sacred Heart also strengthens us to be able to love and serve our brothers and sisters.

Abstract

In light of the rising cases of sexual deviance today, the meaning of consecrated celibacy is frequently questioned and often regarded as contrary to human nature. Furthermore, the declining appreciation for the value of the human body triggers a need for a positive theological foundation for understanding consecrated celibacy. Utilizing a literature study method, the authors intend to examine Pope John Paul II's thoughts on celibacy within his Theology of the Body (TOB). The research results indicate that celibacy is not a rejection of sexuality, but rather a voluntary choice for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven, rooted in the "nuptial meaning of the body"—a natural orientation to love and give of oneself. By exploring original experiences (solitude, unity, and nakedness), celibacy is shown as a concrete expression that God is the fulfillment of man's deepest longings. Eschatologically, celibacy serves as an anticipatory sign of eternal life, where humanity achieves perfect union with God after the resurrection of the body. This study offers a new perspective for discussions on celibacy by positively integrating sexual desire. It affirms celibacy as an actualization of human identity as the image of God, capable of total love without sexual relations. Consequently, celibacy is viewed as a noble path for human nature.

Abstract

This study analyzes the text of Matthew 4:18–22 regarding the calling of the first disciples at the Sea of Galilee as a crucial moment in the formation of Jesus' mission community. The purpose of this writing is to explore deep meaning through textual, narrative, and various multidimensional approaches to find theological relevance for contemporary life. Textually, the emphasis is placed on the use of the term "immediately" and the metaphor "fishers of men," which demonstrate the sovereignty of Jesus and the transformation of a humble profession into a radical spiritual mission. From a narrative perspective, the disciples' act of leaving their nets and families reflects a severance of social and economic contracts for the sake of total obedience to the Teacher. Through social and historical approaches, it is evident how Jesus formed a new community amidst the political pressures of Herod Antipas and the Roman taxation system. Theological and psychological analyses show that the divine initiative transcends human logic, creating instantaneous obedience through the power of the Word. Finally, this text serves as a foundation for the doctrine of discipleship in the Church, asserting that following Christ requires a detachment from old identities in order to adopt a life orientation centered on the salvation of others within the Kingdom of God.
