Abstract

In his encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis invites everyone to move beyond his or her own world and open to others in the pursuit of universal fraternity and social friendship. However, the seeds of division are also growing in the Church’s internal environment today. In the life of the Church, there have been rifts in various levels of fraternal relation, which is often triggered by the tendency of some members in prioritising personal or group interests. This tendency can create barriers that hinder the growth and the development of healthy relationships in Christian life and may affect the pastoral care in the field. This article responds to these problems by offering some models to (re)build the fraternity in the Church by delving into the spirituality inspired by Fratelli Tutti. The models bring forward themes like generosity without borders, all-embracing dialogue, and new encounters. From their methodological characters, these models are basically flexible, open to interpretation according to the contextual challenges, and complement to each other. The approaches of these models are intended to realise the spirituality of fraternity from among the Church members.

Abstract

Communication is a necessity for everyone. Christian families also need ways of communication to be practiced in the small community. Husband and wife, parents and children, are the parties directly involved in family communication. However, family members may tend to ignore problems in the daily activities of the family, while each member has a responsibility to solve them by means of appropriate communication. Family members need to work together to build communication that is appropriate for their respective situations. Communication can be seen as an art learned by the families in good times, but also a practical way to face trouble. This article proposes three models, that is, realistic, spiritual, and imaginative communication models that may inspire families to practice communication in the light of Christian spirituality. These models invite family members to speak more honestly, recommend particular topics to fill their conversations by bringing up the spiritual aspect, and relate their personal hopes with God’s will. Through the models of communication, family members can practice spiritual and realistic communication in their small Christian community and together experience growth in their life of faith.

Abstract

The longing of every sinner is to return to the right path. A sinner wants forgiveness and mercy. In the spiritual context, drug addiction is a form of sin that destroys human relationship with God. Drug addicts are victims of human failure to control their desires and thus they suffer and lose their dignity. To return to normal life and regain his or her dignity, a drug addict must follow a rehabilitation process. A therapeutic community for drug addicts is a rehabilitation model that involves the role of others in the recovery process. The atmosphere of community life, fraternity, and togetherness is built in this community so that each person can feel wholeness as dignified and loving human being. A therapeutic community needs a model of spirituality to achieve the aspired values. This article explores the parable of Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32 to inspire a model of spirituality that can be used in a rehabilitation community for drug addicts, namely, the spirituality of compassion and mercy. In the spirituality of compassion and mercy, a drug addict is readmitted to the community to restore his or her dignity.

Abstract

There are many people with different abilities who live in injustice. In Indonesia, during the COVID-19 pandemic acts of violence and exploitation have been reported by Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA) stating 110 cases of violence against children with different abilities. KPPPA mentions several types of vulnerabilities experienced by children during the Covid-19 pandemic. Children who lost their parents because of Covid-19 have been exploited by their families for economic benefits. Other cases surface from the stigma that being different they are vulnerable to being scolded or treated with violence and mislabeled as second-class persons. Injustice is also caused by the lack of opportunities and knowledge in the society. The Church respects human dignity based on the Creation in the Scriptures, when “God saw everything that He had made and it was very good” (Gen.1:31). Jean Vanier in his theology of incarnation says that in their weakness, people with different abilities receive the grace of God’s presence. The Church affirms to protect them and to prohibit others patronising those with “different abilities” as well as invites everyone to care by recognising human rights and dignity.

From ‘Christification’ to Mission of Salvation: Impact of Damascus Event on Saint Paul Hidayat, Elvin Atmaja

Abstract

Saint Paul is one of the most important apostles in Christianity. The mission of evangelism he carried out was fruitful in various parts of the world. Paul’s missionary journey brought great risks to himself through the challenges and the sufferings, while he was also previously known as a persecutor of Christ’s followers. His radical change or conversion occurred since his spiritual encounter with the Lord Jesus on his journey to Damascus. This article explores the impact of the unforgettable encounter that brings to Paul more admiration and love for Christ, that also brings an extraordinary mystical experience of ‘christification’, an experience of becoming more and more alike and united with the Christ. The Damascus event and the christification open the divine revelation of human salvation. As a Jew, Paul recognises that salvation is obtained by obeying the law, but now he believes that only the risen Jesus Christ is able to save humankind. Paul’s christification brings direct implications to his courage in becoming a follower of Christ with a burning passion to proclaim the Gospel to all nations. God’s choice for an apostle is unfathomable, even for Paul himself who considers himself as the most sinful and unworthy person.

Abstract

Today’s ecological crisis is getting worse, and human activities might have been the main cause of the crisis. From a theological point of view, the spiritual crisis among the modern people can be thought of as the source of the devastating human activities. Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Si’ believes that mistaken anthropocentrism and technocratic paradigm are the main cause, while theologian Leonardo Boff points on the modern science experimental perspective and the attitude of negligence as the triggering characteristics that govern the modern people. Facing the ecological crisis which has its roots in human spiritual crisis, Pope Francis offers a model of an integral ecology, while Boff offers an eco-spirituality concept, as basis for human relation to the cosmos. Both concepts emphasise on the unity of all components that exist in the cosmos as God’s creation.
Konsistensi Will dan Thing-in-Itself: Menafsir Ulang Metafisika Schopenhauer Mustika, I Ketut Sawitra; Harsawibawa, Albertus

Abstract

This article aims to present a different reading from the mainstream interpretation that corners Schopenhauer: a consistent interpretation. The authors use a method of acquiring knowledge by acquaintance and description. Schopenhauer’s theory is often considered inconsistent because it concludes will as a thing-in-itself. The will, which is obtained through direct observation of the body, is a representation that is still shrouded in the veil of time form, while thing-in-itself is completely different from representation, and is beyond the reach of space, time, and causality, with reference to principle of sufficient reason. Concluding will as a thing-in-itself is therefore considered inconsistent. However, this interpretation might be wrong because Schopenhauer never claimed that direct observation of the body would yield knowledge of the thing-in-itself. From the very beginning, he realised that direct knowledge of thing-in-itself was impossible, because the knowledge, regardless of its form, was always knowledge of appearances. He knows that will does not qualify as a thing-in-itself. The true function of the will in Schopenhauer's metaphysics lies in the name and concept by which one can think about thing-in-itself objectively.

Abstract

Evolution process not only occurs in the biological area, but also in the cultural area. On the one hand, from one of the evolution theories, it has been known that the unit of replication is gene. On the other hand, the unit of transmission and replication in the cultural evolution can be associated with meme. Similar to genes that propagate themselves through a process called reproduction, memes also propagate themselves from person to person through a process called imitation. By way of imitation, memetic theory explains the development and the evolution of a culture. Imitating others points to the phenomena where ideas, information, behaviour, things, or style are passed on or spread/repeated by certain people. The process in which cultural elements (memes) are passed onto other groups can be considered as a sort of cultural transmission. Memes propagate for themselves and in this way they survive and exist in the human culture. Human mind has the ability for imitating information and ideas, therefore a human being is seen as an agent of meme evolution. Memes are spread out through human interactions and the various kinds of media. In this sense, culture will always be in the state of developing and changing.

Abstract

In Thomas Aquinas’ view, every human being by nature is directed towards goodness. The goodness as the form of being (ens) is inside the human self. According to Thomas, human goodness is a participation in the highest goodness, namely, God, and thus every human being desires the perfection of the goodness by directing his or herself towards God. This natural tendency (appetitus naturalis) proves that human is directed towards an ‘end’. This goodness appears externally in the human action, and as an external action it is named actus humanus, which manifests the moral aspect of a human being. A person who actualises the goodness in his or her external action affirms his or her essence to the highest goodness. Goodness in morality depends on God as the supreme criterion of morality. It is good if it nears God and is evil if it moves away.
