Abstract

Many people and (Catholic) medical practitioners use or provide all kinds of contraceptives, including those that work by preventing implantation of zygote. Some medical experts affirm that preventing implantation of zygote is not an abortion because before the implantation, zygote is not considered as human person and does not have basic rights to live as human person. However, the Catholic Church affirms that human life must be respected and given the basic rights to live as human person since the conception. The difference between medical experts and the Catholic Church results from the different perspectives on the time of the beginning of human person. Both medical experts and the Catholic Church agree that human life begins at the time of conception, but they do not agree that human person begins at the time of conception. Many medical experts say that after the conception and before the implantation, zygote can split into identical twins so that human personhood cannot be determined before the implantation. In this article, the medical perspective will be criticized using biblical and biological insights. These insights may enlighten us that preventing an implantation of zygote is an abortion because zygote is already a human person.

Abstract

Science and theology are often confronted each other since these two disciplines have developed their respective methods. The first is based on empirical research, while the later is based on faith reflection. At the same time, it seems difficult to find theological reflection which bases its reflection on scientific invention. Among a few theologians who base their theological reflection on scientific invention is Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. This article, by way of a literature research, explains Teilhard’s reflection on Christology based on his view of evolution theory. In this article, the author combines Teilhard’s writings about Christological reflection and other theologians’ writings exploring Teilhard’s thoughts. Teilhard was influenced by Henri Bergson’s view of evolution. Nevertheless, quite different from Bergson’s view about evolution as an aimless movement, Teilhard, on the contrary, sees the evolution as a process with a definite purpose to the Omega point. The Omega point is another name of Christ, as the apex of the evolution of all creation.

Abstract

Faith and culture are often considered as interesting areas of topics for the academic discussions. They can become fruitful dialogue partners in the search of truth. Each area refers to the sources of truth at different levels compared to others outside of their areas. This article is an effort to reconcile the truth claims on the ontological and empirical levels by way of dialogue. The dialogue raised here brings together religion in Hegel’s philosophy and the cultural belief of the Lembata people called Lera-Wulan Tana-Ekan. Both are on different paths, one is a series of philosophical ideas while the other is a local wisdom from a certain part of Indonesia, particularly among the Lembata people in East Nusa Tenggara. This article aims to elevate the claims of truth that exist in a belief from a certain culture to the public domain of philosophy. The method used in this writing is dialectical by analyzing whether the ideas in Hegel’s philosophy of religion are in line with the beliefs held by the Lembata people. The belief in the universe, the highest morality, and the origin of creation are analyzed in relation to the movement of the Spirit discussed by Hegel in the natural religion, the religion of art, and the revealed religion.

Abstract

Language is an inseparable element of culture and is capable of expressing complex realities. The universal Church and the local churches are connected in the process of inculturation of faith, where pastoral workers should pay attention to the local socio-cultural conditions. Inculturation is not only considered in rituals, but also has an impact on the moral-ethical dimension of the faithful. The principles of lex orandi and lex credendi can be complemented by the principle of lex agendi, where the spreading of the Gospel not only teaches truths but also introduces culturally relevant elements in the process of inculturation. Inculturation in the Sundanese culture as the context of this article requires wise steps and in-depth study to understand the backgrounds and the theological perspective of the local culture. This article analyzes the role of Biantara and Paparikan of the Sundanese culture in the ritual of engagement in the Catholic Church as well as in the preparatory exercises. This practice of inculturation needs to be evaluated in order to reconsider the viewpoints of the faithful, the need for further development, and the possible modifications that might be required in the local church context.

Abstract

In Christianity, religious and priests express their respective spirituality in various unique ways, different from the laity. This article explores the emerging spiritualities in serving the faithful by way of evangelization in everyday life, especially those expressed in the contents spread over the digital world by Catholic religious and priests. Spirituality motivates them to create different ways of catechesis and evangelization and at the same time challenges and deepens their motivations, especially in the middle of today’s technological leaps. The author also proposes some practical recommendations for religious and priests in refreshing their interpretations of their respective spirituality in order to proclaim the Gospel to the ever-connected people in the world. Refreshing their motivations in serving the faithful in this digital age can particularly help them be faithful to the calling of the Lord. This article invites religious to recontextualize the spirituality of their respective congregation and priests to recontextualize the spirituality of their respective diocese. In this digital age, their works might be called a kind of contemporary digital catechesis that connects the faithful from all over the world and that continues the Church’s mission today.
