Hilarius Andika Kurniawan — 2024-12-16

Young Catholics are called to continue proclaiming faith in the world as modern-day images of Jesus. In Christus Vivit, Pope Francis identifies young people as the "now of the Church" and recognizes their potential to improve the world. As a result, the Church must prepare the formation of young Catholics earnestly. This research explores and designs pastoral care for young Catholics at St. Josafat Church in Surabaya, in line with Christus Vivit. Using qualitative methods, the researcher conducted interviews, surveys, and literature studies to analyze the current pastoral care and develop a new design. While the pastoral movement at St. Josafat Church is active and based on Christus Vivit, it remains focused on bonding and lacks full integration. The general guidelines for the pastoral care of young people at St. Josafat Church Surabaya is aimed to enhance the formation process of young people. These guidelines address several needs specific to the youth, including: building bonding, faith formation, self-recognition and self-potential, leadership development, and the implementation of a missionary spirit. In the next phase, this general guideline for pastoral care for young people according to Christus Vivit will be periodically evaluated to ensure that pastoral care for young people is increasingly optimal and relevant.

Praktik Hukuman Mati dari Sudut Pandang Ensiklik Veritatis Splendor

Nicholaus Damianus Poa — 2024-12-16

This article examines the practice of capital punishment from the perspective of the encyclical Veritatis Splendor, a moral document issued by Pope John Paul II in 1993. The article focuses on the moral teachings of the Catholic Church. The Church, as expressed in Veritatis Splendor, considers capital punishment to be inconsistent with human dignity and the core principles of Christian morality. The encyclical emphasizes that human life holds intrinsic value because it is created in the image of God, and that capital punishment violates the fundamental moral principle of the right to life. This theological reflection begins with a discussion of natural law inherent to human beings and follows Jesus' command to a rich young man that the highest good can only be found through a relationship with God. The article then highlights the human freedom to obey the truth and moral law, which guide individuals toward the true good, which is God. In the context of capital punishment, the misuse of human freedom to kill is considered an intrinsically evil act (intrinsece malum), which can never be justified, even with pragmatic reasons such as deterrence or justice. In summary, Veritatis Splendor stresses that every human action, including within the criminal justice system, must be directed toward the true good and respect for human dignity, rejecting capital punishment as a morally contradictory act to the Christian faith.

Keheningan menurut Henri Nouwen dalam Dunia Modern

Memet Saputra — 2024-12-16

This study focuses on understanding the concept of silence according to Henri Nouwen and its relevance to spiritual life in the modern era. The research aims to explore Nouwen's idea of silence, which is often equated with solitude or loneliness. However, silence is a distinct concept that plays a crucial role in fostering spiritual growth. In contemporary times, we are inundated with a constant flow of information through digital devices and media platforms, a hallmark of the modern age. Consequently, we often find ourselves too busy and struggle to carve out moments of stillness and tranquility. Such conditions, sooner or later, can hinder the development of spiritual life. This paper examines the relevance of silence in the modern world and provides practical ways to integrate it into daily life. The methodology employed is a literature review, analyzing Nouwen's writings and other relevant sources from books and journals on modern life. The findings reveal that silence is essential and can be meaningfully practiced in today's modern context.
