Many people and (Catholic) medical practitioners use or provide all kinds of contraceptives, including those that work by preventing implantation of zygote. Some medical experts affirm that preventing implantation of zygote is not an abortion because before the implantation, zygote is not considered as human person and does not have basic rights to live as human person. However, the Catholic Church affirms that human life must be respected and given the basic rights to live as human person since the conception. The difference between medical experts and the Catholic Church results from the different perspectives on the time of the beginning of human person. Both medical experts and the Catholic Church agree that human life begins at the time of conception, but they do not agree that human person begins at the time of conception. Many medical experts say that after the conception and before the implantation, zygote can split into identical twins so that human personhood cannot be determined before the implantation. In this article, the medical perspective will be criticized using biblical and biological insights. These insights may enlighten us that preventing an implantation of zygote is an abortion because zygote is already a human person.

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.

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.

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.

Faith and culture are often considered as interesting areas of topics for the academic discussions. They can become fruitful dialogue partners in the search of truth. Each area refers to the sources of truth at different levels compared to others outside of their areas. This article is an effort to reconcile the truth claims on the ontological and empirical levels by way of dialogue. The dialogue raised here brings together religion in Hegel’s philosophy and the cultural belief of the Lembata people called Lera-Wulan Tana-Ekan. Both are on different paths, one is a series of philosophical ideas while the other is a local wisdom from a certain part of Indonesia, particularly among the Lembata people in East Nusa Tenggara. This article aims to elevate the claims of truth that exist in a belief from a certain culture to the public domain of philosophy. The method used in this writing is dialectical by analyzing whether the ideas in Hegel’s philosophy of religion are in line with the beliefs held by the Lembata people. The belief in the universe, the highest morality, and the origin of creation are analyzed in relation to the movement of the Spirit discussed by Hegel in the natural religion, the religion of art, and the revealed religion.

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.

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.

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.

Science and theology are often confronted each other since these two disciplines have developed their respective methods. The first is based on empirical research, while the later is based on faith reflection. At the same time, it seems difficult to find theological reflection which bases its reflection on scientific invention. Among a few theologians who base their theological reflection on scientific invention is Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. This article, by way of a literature research, explains Teilhard’s reflection on Christology based on his view of evolution theory. In this article, the author combines Teilhard’s writings about Christological reflection and other theologians’ writings exploring Teilhard’s thoughts. Teilhard was influenced by Henri Bergson’s view of evolution. Nevertheless, quite different from Bergson’s view about evolution as an aimless movement, Teilhard, on the contrary, sees the evolution as a process with a definite purpose to the Omega point. The Omega point is another name of Christ, as the apex of the evolution of all creation.
科学和神学经常相互对抗，因为这两门学科已经发展出各自的方法。前者以实证研究为基础，后者则以信仰反思为基础。同时，似乎也很难找到以科学发明为基础的神学反思。在少数以科学发明为神学反思基础的神学家中，有皮埃尔-泰哈-德-夏尔丹（Pierre Teilhard de Chardin）。本文通过文献研究，阐释了泰勒哈德基于进化论观点对基督论的反思。在这篇文章中，作者结合了 Teilhard 关于基督论反思的著作和其他神学家探讨 Teilhard 思想的著作。泰哈德受到亨利-柏格森（Henri Bergson）进化论观点的影响。然而，与柏格森认为进化论是漫无目的的运动的观点截然不同，泰勒哈德却认为进化论是一个有明确目的的过程，最终会到达欧米茄点。欧米茄点是基督的另一个名字，是所有造物进化的顶点。

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.
