KONTRIBUSI TEOLOGI PEMBEBASAN BAGI FEMINISME DI ASIA: SEBUAH KAJIAN KRITIS

2024-04-22T07:24:15+07:00

Experiences of oppression, marginalization, and subordination have become a number of particular contexts that gave birth to critical reflections in a number of theologies such as liberation theology and feminist theology. The liberation theology project that was systematically promoted in Latin America in the mid-20th century began with the spread of colonialism, the political-economic hegemony of both national and transnational businessmen, and the massive use of a militaristic approach to various criticisms and resistance of oppressed people. Likewise, Asian feminist theology originates from criticism and resistance to patriarchal domination in the structure of religious, political, economic, cultural, and social life. Of course, these two theologies operate in the same context, namely the experience of oppression and marginalization of a group of people. This article was written using qualitative research methods with a focus on literature studies in the form of books and scientific journal articles according to the themes reviewed. The result of this study shows that liberation theology has contributed to feminist theology and the feminist movement in Asia. By being inspired by the approaches, methods and social analysis developed by liberation theology, the feminist movement in Asia dared to launch a progressive critique of the patriarchal and feudalistic face of the Church. Not only criticizing, feminism in Asia has reached a common movement, namely the establishment of a communion to oppose oppressive structures in shared life.

PERAN IMAM DALAM TEOLOGI RAHMAT THOMAS AQUINAS DAN RELEVANSINYA DENGAN DISKURSUS PROBLEMATIK HIDUP PARA IMAM MASA KINI

2024-04-22T07:24:16+07:00

The long history of the Catholic Church shows that until after the Second Vatican Council, a priest was seen as an important mediator of God's grace. This article aims to describe the role of the priest in Thomas Aquinas’ Theology of Grace and its relevance for the problematic discourse on priests today. The sacrament of priesthood is a sign of special grace that enables priests to have the authority to offer sacrifices (celebrate the eucharist), forgive sins, bless, teach and sanctify. However, the problems or abuses committed by today’s priests appear to challenge the broad and respected consensus regarding the role of priests that has long been entrenched. The concept of the grace of the sacrament of priesthood continues to be challenged. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method. The data source in research is the presentation of spoken or written words or sentences sourced from Church documents, books, research results, journal articles and also other written sources that can be accounted for. Based on the research results, it was found that, a priest is a link in creating good relationships, from God to humans and from humans to God. Therefore, amidst the problems of today’s priests, it is necessary to realize that the sacrament of priesthood does not necessarily make a priest holy and free to live without the challenges of the world. The free grace of the sacrament of priesthood requires the active participation of a priest to fulfill the reception of that grace, maintain and distribute it properly. To be able to carry out his duties as a distributor of grace in the world, anywhere, anytime and in any situation, priests must have deep and strong spiritual integrity and manifest faithful obedience to God and His Word.

CURA PERSONALIS: SIKAP PASTORAL GEREJA BAGI PENDAMPINGAN KAUM LGBTQ KRISTIANI

2024-04-30T07:50:56+07:00

The Church is the people of God. And as people of God, the Church consists of all people who believe in Christ. People of God with LGBTQ are people who have faith in. Christ. They accept Christ as the savior but need help understanding their condition. Thus, they need to be helped as people of God because some faithful cannot get them into the Church. They think that people with LGBTQ inclinations are not genuine or even sinful. This article would like to explore how the Church must serve all people who believe in Christ and how the Church can assist them by providing good accompaniment. Consequently, it will seek an explanation based on literature studies conducted on the main concepts in this research, namely “cura personalis” and LGBTQ. After that, this article will develop a pastoral attitude for assisting LGVTQ people as a theological reflection based on the study of moral theology and ecclesiology, which distinguish "actions" and "attitudes" towards other people, the meaning of being a Christian which is in line with the understanding of Christian Anthropology which states that humans are the image of God who has a purpose in life to be called to holiness, and about the position of Christians as part of God's people. That understanding will open a new way in pastoral care, not to contra the doctrine of the Church but to build a bridge to receive the LGBTQ people in the Church as the same people of God who journey on earth.
