Abstract

This study answers a phenomenon of double funeralrite that often occurs among the Catholics who converted from Marapu, the ethnic religion of the people of Sumba. Double funeralrite is the practice of funeral ceremonies consisting of official liturgy of the Catholic Church and spontaneously followed by a number of Marapu rites. Such a practice indicates a dualism of belief, in the sense that people have embraced the Catholic faith but are still attached to the elements of their old beliefs. In this study the author investigates in depth both the funeral rites according to Marapu and the double practice phenomenon in funeral ceremonies of Catholics who converted from Marapu. The main purpose of this research is to find parallels and intersections between Catholic’s concept of life after death and that of Marapu’s. Discussion and analysis of the data prioritizes the meaning behind each verbal and non-verbal expression. The meaning of prayers, rituals and symbols used in funeral according to Marapu reveals universal values ​​that parallel to the values ​​contained in Catholic teaching. According to Marapu belief, death is the return of the soul towards “ancestral village”, which is the final resting place of souls after death. This return is believed to be a long journey before arriving at the ancestral village. Prayers and ceremonies carried out by humans aim to help the soul to enter the ancestral village. This concept parallels to the Catholic understanding of soul purification after death before entering the eternal happiness in Heaven. Such parallels allow a construction of the encounter between Catholic teachings and Marapu ones about life after death.

Abstract

Karl Rahner made a major contribution to the trinitarian theology in this post-modern era. He has attempted to reconcile the classical doctrine of the Trinity with contemporary thought. Rahner spoke about the topic of the oneness and triadity of God. Regarding the oneness of God, Rahner did not speak about the one ousia / divine essence, but rather the unity or perichoresis of the three divine persons. What is called God here, is not the essence of divinity but the Father who is the source of the Son and the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, Rahner emphasizes the identification and relationship between the immanent Trinity and the economic Trinity which according to him is the important point in the theology of the Trinity. Consequently, the only starting point for developing a theology of the Trinity is the history of our experience with God, in which God reveals Himself in two ways, namely through the Word and the Spirit. This article presents Karl Rahner's thoughts on the Trinity and its relevance to human life. First of all, the author describes about the place of Trinitarian theology in the general framework of Rahner's anthropological theology. Next, it discussed his thoughts on the Trinity itself and at the end, the relevance of the Trinity to human life. This relevance becomes evident in Rahner's thought about the communication of God to man in the form of His Word and Spirit.

Abstract

Abstract: De facto liturgical vestments are an integral part of the liturgical ministry in the churches. However, there are differences in understanding and interpreting the history which has been developed after the apostles' time. In terms of the use of liturgical clothing, each church has a unique perspective and practice, although there are a number of elements in common. Through the study of the literature on liturgical vestments, the author discusses the development of these garments, both the various types that have existed and those that are currently used in churches. The author analyzes past events related to the origin, development, and theological understanding of the subject to understand the peculiarities of how they are viewed today. In addition, the author also makes a comparison of the use of liturgical clothing from different ecclesiastical contexts. This research shows that the different attitudes towards liturgical vestments are closely related to the different understandings of the priesthood. Churches which maintain the doctrine of in persona Christi in ordained ministers tend to maintain the majesty of the liturgical vestments of the medieval heritage. On the other hand, churches that do not accept this doctrine use minimalistic liturgical clothing and even consider it optional. In this case, Luther's adiaphora principle is quite influential in the freedom to use or not to use liturgical clothing. Abstrak: Busana liturgis, de facto, merupakan bagian integral dari pelayanan liturgi dalam gereja-gereja. Walaupun demikian, terdapat perbedaan dalam memahami dan menafsirkan sejarah yang berkembang sesudah era para rasul. Dalam hal penggunaan busana liturgis, masing-masing gereja memiliki cara pandang dan praktek yang khas, walaupun terdapat pula sejumlah unsur yang sama. Melalui studi pustaka, penulis mengangkat perkembangan penggunaan busana liturgis, baik ragam jenis pakaian yang pernah ada maupun yang saat ini digunakan di gereja-gereja. Penulis menganalisis peristiwa masa lalu yang berkaitan dengan asal, perkembangan, dan makna teologis busana liturgis untuk memahami kekhasan pandangan masa kini tentang pakaian tersebut. Selain itu, penulis juga membuat perbandingan penggunaan busana liturgis dari konteks gerejawi yang berbeda-beda. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan sikap gereja-gereja terhadap busana liturgis berkaitan erat dengan pemahaman yang berbeda atas imamat. Gereja-gereja yang mempertahankan doktrin in persona Christi dalam diri pelayan tertahbis cenderung mempertahankan pula keagungan busana liturgis warisan abad pertengahan. Sebaliknya gereja-gereja yang tidak menerima doktrin tersebut menggunakan busana liturgis secara minimalis bahkan menganggapnya tidak wajib. Dalam hal ini prinsip adiaphora dari Luther cukup berpengaruh dalam kebebasan menggunakan atau pun tidak menggunakan busana liturgis.

Abstract

The phenomenon of dualism in practising the faith among Catholics who converted from Sumbanese ethnic religion (Marapu) is a real challenge faced by the Catholic Church in Sumba. Such dualism is transparent in the practices of using simultaneously both Catholic and Marapu rites in the popular religiosity of Sumbanese Catholics. Both Catholic priests and Marapu ritual leaders are asked by the people, on different occassions, to perform rituals for their benefit. These two kinds of ritual leaders are equally considered as mediators of communication between human beings and the supernatural world. Such a practice reveals a deep encounter between Catholic and Sumbanese ethnic religion regarding the form, direction and means of communication between humans and supernatural beings. The author’s fieldwork at Weepangali in the district of Sumba Barat Daya, from January to August 2013, reveals a new concept and understanding of mediation, that is a mixture between a Catholic concept and a Marapu one. Some supernatural figures in Marapu religion are equated with those in Catholic devotions. This new understanding, however, is not formally and institutionally recognized in either the Marapu or Catholic hierarchies, but rather found more informally and spontaneously in the religious experience of Sumbanese Catholics. This phenomenon indicates the strong mutual influence between Catholic and Marapu experience, after a prolonged and ongoing encounter. Kata-kata Kunci: Dunia empiris, dunia meta-empiris, ritual Marapu, doktrin Katolik, pengalaman religius, pengantaraan, perjumpaan.

Abstract

The Seminary is a formation institution for priest candidates who will become reliable servants of the church. As priests, they will participate in the three duties of Christ (Tre munere Christi) namely being priests (sanctifying mankind), prophets (preaching the Word), and king/shepherd (leading the congregation). For this reason, life discipline is essential to develop four dimensions of maturity, namely personality, spirituality, intellect, and pastoral abilities. Discipline is closely related to the emotional maturity of each student. Therefore, this research aims to determine the effect of emotional intelligence on the discipline of prospective priests during their formation at the St. Mikhael Major Seminary in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. It applies statistical analysis techniques of Pearson Correlation Product Moment with two variables. The population amounted to 200 people with a sample of 30, which is 15% of the total. Data collection technique was in the form of a questionnaire distributed to the respondents. The data is then analyzed to describe the actual situation. Based on the results of data processing and analysis, there is a significant influence of emotional intelligence on the discipline of prospective priests at St. Michael Seminary, in a strong correlation level. Seminari adalah lembaga pembinaan calon imam yang akan menjadi pelayan gereja yang handal. Sebagai imam, mereka akan berpartisipasi dalam tiga tugas Kristus (Tre munere Christi) yaitu menjadi imam (menguduskan umat manusia), nabi (memberitakan Sabda), dan raja/gembala (memimpin jemaat). Untuk itu, disiplin hidup sangat penting untuk mengembangkan empat dimensi kedewasaan, yaitu kepribadian, spiritualitas, intelek, dan kemampuan pastoral. Disiplin erat kaitannya dengan kematangan emosi setiap mahasiswa. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kecerdasan emosional terhadap kedisiplinan mahasiswa calon imam selama pembinaan di Seminari Tinggi St. Mikhael Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur.

Abstract

Many Christian communities in Sumba practice a unique tradition of incorporating lamentation songs in regional languages into their Good Friday services. These poignant melodies, born out of the local Christian community, trace their roots to the ngi'o teki tradition—a practice characterized by the expressive mourning of the departed through carefully crafted and emotional words. Despite the fact that such lamentations diverge from the official Good Friday services outlined in the widely accepted Roman Liturgy of the Catholic Church, they play a significant role in the cultural and religious fabric of these communities. This qualitative research aimed to delve into the historical and cultural context of these lament songs, unveil their theological and inculturative values, and discern their specific place within the Good Friday service. The findings of this research underscored the intrinsic theological and inculturative values embedded in lament songs, emphasizing their crucial role in rendering the Good Friday liturgy more resonant and meaningful for the local population.
