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.

Abstract

This article is a result of a research conducted to examine the interrelation between religion and philosophy and to measure how such interaction is embodied in religious subjects taught in middle-high schools in Indonesia. This is considered important because in Indonesian national education, the religious dimension is regarded fundamental and therefore must be emphasised. The classes are divided based on the students’ religion. In order to prevent such division becomes religious segregation that could lead to practices of intolerance, philosophy is proposed as a rational solution to bridge the discrepancy. This is considered imperative so that in school religion is not understood as an exclusive set of doctrines, but as a subject in education process that brings inclusive and pluralistic attitudes. Three basic and important characteristics are analysed in this article, that is, the breadth of perspective about God, the openness towards other religions, and the willingness to embrace science in general.

Abstract

Along with Kant’s sapere aude, the Enlightenment brought about a certain kind of rigidity as though everything could only be understood by way of logical reasoning through a set of inflexible procedures. When the Church was understood within this movement, it lost its dynamic and organic dimension. Romanticism, as the counter movement of the Enlightenment, brough new inspiration as to how one should do ecclesiology. Möhler took the chance. His ecclesiology is influenced by romanticism without being too abstract. His ecclesiology is exemplary of a creative ecclesiology that can manage various tensions due to different ways of understanding the nature of the Church.

Abstract

An institution of Catholic higher education as an academic community is tasked with protecting and respecting the dignity of human life. It has an institutional autonomy to carry out its functions and guarantee its members a freedom based on the values of truth, justice, equality, and general welfare. Its vision leads to the formation of a community that is authentically human (humanum) and imbued with the spirit of Christ. Everyone involved in this higher education is inspired by the Christian principles and therefore is encouraged to live out their Christian calling in a mature and responsible manner. Catholic higher education as part of the Church must give a space for spiritual life assistance for young people who are studying in the institution. Furthermore, it should pay attention to all the problems and the needs of the students today, especially those concerning the human dignity. This article proposes a spirituality of humanum practised in a Catholic university as a framework for higher education in order to respect the dignity of women and men involved in the institution. In this framework, all individuals in the campus may increasingly experience acceptance and respect for their human dignity as noble image of God may live in accordance with the Christian values.

Abstract

Discussing about rationality is often releated to human actions, because humans are considered as rationalist creatures who act to realize and decide things with their thinking abilities. The question is whether the society is becoming less critical in seeing the political games played by the power elite, or the authorities are using power to create fear by spreading some rationalizing concepts in such a way that they are accepted as truth. By tracing Amartya Sen’s thoughts, the author of this article tries to show the initial position (arche) of economics as a moral science, which seems to have been poisoned by desires for self-interest only. This article tries to reveal the fallacy of rationality behind the policies that have been used to implement power, which in this case have been promulgated by the government regarding economics in order to overcome various social and humanitarian problems such as poverty, hunger, and injustice in the society.

Abstract

This article aims to criticize the improbability argument put forth by Dawkins, which serves as the central thesis in the new atheism. Dawkins uses this thesis to justify religion as the root of evil and violence, while also forms the basis for the denial of the existence of God. The improbability argument fundamentally has some issues ontologically, epistemologically, and ethically. Dawkins constructs the improbability argument by referring to his explanation in “The Ultimate Boeing 747” and the theory of natural selection, in which he considers creation from nothingness to be as improbable as the spontaneous formation of a Boeing 747 from a tornado’s debris. Dawkins also criticizes the NOMA perspective that positions Science and Theology as equals. Through the framework of critical realism, this article demonstrates the philosophical problems in Dawkins’ improbability argument, which reduces reality (ontology) based on subjective perception (epistemology), and thus obscuring the uniqueness of natural phenomenon and negating the existence of God. Alternative ethical perspectives regarding religion and God are presented to address Dawkins’ accusations to religion as a source of evil and violence.

The Creative Tension between the Universal Church and the Local Church Kristiatmo, Thomas

Abstract

The universal dimension of the Church does not always go hand in hand with the fact that it has to manifest itself in a local community, that is to say, a local Church presided by a bishop. History has witnessed that sometimes there were tensions between the two. The solutions offered are oftentimes one-sided. One may become either a staunch defender of universality or a radical proponent of the local Church. However, neither of these two positions are fruitful for the growth of the Church worldwide among the faithful: while holding one dimension, one can easily overlook the other. Ecclesiology might have to explore different approaches that can relate these positions, bearing in mind the needs of the local Church and the fatihful. What is needed in dealing with the tension is creativity. The tension may never be resolved without being creative in exploring new ways of constructing local theologies.
