Abstract

Renewable-energy transitions were increasingly justified by climate urgency, energy security, and sustainable development. However, geothermal development could remain socially contested even when it was technically feasible, legally authorized, and environmentally beneficial. Existing energy-justice scholarship had extensively addressed distribution, participation, recognition, and transition justice, but the prior question of what made development morally legitimate remained insufficiently theorized. This study aimed to examine the normative conditions under which geothermal development could credibly claim moral legitimacy as a form of public action. The study employed a qualitative theological-normative design based on conceptual and documentary analysis. Primary sources included Caritas in Veritate, Laudato Si’, and relevant Catholic Social Teaching documents, while secondary sources covered energy justice, just transition, recognition, epistemic justice, and moral philosophy. The findings showed that Caritas in Veritate distinguished developmental success from moral legitimacy by interpreting development as a relational moral practice. Moral legitimacy depended on the integration of the common good, human dignity, meaningful participation and subsidiarity, and solidarity. Laudato Si’ extended this framework by locating social legitimacy within the broader horizon of integral ecology. The study concluded that legal compliance, technical performance, economic benefit, and ecological purpose could not independently establish the moral legitimacy of geothermal development. Legitimate energy development required socially and ecologically justifiable relationships with affected persons and communities. This study developed a relational-normative framework for geothermal ethics by bringing Catholic Social Teaching into dialogue with energy-justice scholarship. It extended energy-transition ethics from evaluating discrete justice criteria toward examining the moral justification of development itself.

Abstract

Catholic missionary activity in the Dutch East Indies developed within a colonial environment in which evangelization was frequently intertwined with European political and cultural assumptions. Previous studies had largely emphasized the historical and theological significance of Maximum Illud but had given less attention to how its principles became institutionalized within the Indonesian Church. This study aimed to analyze the paradigm shift in Catholic mission after the promulgation of Maximum Illud in 1919 and to examine its social and institutional implications, particularly for the formation of indigenous clergy and local ecclesiastical autonomy. The study employed a qualitative historical-sociological approach based on documentary and literature analysis. Maximum Illud, relevant Church documents, historical studies, and scholarly literature were analyzed through qualitative content analysis and interpreted using Peter L. Berger's concepts of externalization, objectification, and internalization. The findings showed that Maximum Illud functioned as a socio-theological catalyst that challenged Eurocentric missionary structures and contributed to a process of spiritual decolonization. It strengthened and legitimized an emerging orientation toward indigenous clergy, which became increasingly institutionalized through the development and consolidation of seminaries such as Mertoyudan, Mataloko, Ledalero, and Ritapiret. The study concluded that this transformation gradually redistributed ecclesiastical agency from predominantly foreign missionary personnel toward locally formed clergy and contributed to the emergence of a more locally rooted and increasingly autonomous Indonesian Catholic Church. The study contributed an integrated historical-sociological explanation of how missionary theology acquired institutional and social consequences, thereby extending interpretations of Maximum Illud beyond theological discourse toward the analysis of local Church formation, religious agency, and institutional transformation.

Abstract

Scholars commonly understand the creation of artworks through images and imagination as creative processes that transform sensory experience. However, previous studies have discussed the concept of the imaginal primarily in the context of mystical experience and have rarely connected it to artistic creation. This study analyzes the role of imaginal experience in the creative processes of three salik of the Qudusiyah Sufi Order and explains how the imaginal differs from images and imagination in the formation of artworks. The study employs a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach combined with a Sufi perspective. The researchers collected data through in-depth interviews with three salik of the Qudusiyah Sufi Order who created artworks through imaginal experiences while practicing self-emptying and spiritual discipline. The findings show that images function as records of sensory experience, whereas imagination actively transforms various images into new artistic forms. In contrast, imaginal experience emerges in a receptive state in which the salik does not actively construct images but instead receives phenomena that arise within an ego-decentered consciousness. This study concludes that artistic creativity in a Sufi context operates not only through active imaginative construction but also through the reception and interpretation of imaginal experiences that emerge during self-emptying and spiritual discipline. This study contributes to the literature by positioning the imaginal as an analytical category distinct from images and imagination while expanding interdisciplinary scholarship on art, religious experience, mysticism, and creativity.
