Titus Paulus Maru Maru — 2024-02-20

The focus of this scientific paper is ecological conversion. The author sees it from the perspective of Pope Francis Laudato Si's Encyclical. Today it cannot be hidden that injustice to the environment, flora and fauna, natural resources, and fellow human beings is a serious problem. The author can call this problem ecological injustice. Because of that, the author takes the theme of ecological repentance in the light of the Encyclical Laudato Si. The purpose of this scientific writing is that the writer discover the concept of ecological conversion and realizes the concept of ecological conversion in the light of Laudato Si's Encyclical. In the process of scientific writing, the author uses two sources. The first source, let's say as a primary source, is the Encyclical Laudato Si. The second source as a secondary source is an article that has been previously written by another author. The author searches for these sources by using Google. The trick is to search for Google Scholar. The author uses the method of reading and analyzing primary sources and secondary sources as a reference to further strengthen the author's argument. After about 1 month, the writer managed to find two points as the purpose of this writing. First, the concept of repentance according to Laudato Si, realizes that the earth belongs together as brothers and sisters. This requires confessing sin as a form of God's presence in the world. What is prioritized is the motivation born of spirituality to preserve nature. Second, realizing the concept of ecological repentance. we must have education and spirituality as capital to view other creations as brothers. This from the Encyclical Laudato Si is proof that the Catholic Church has a living love, so that love is manifested with a sense of concern for God's fellow creatures.

This study aims to know and understand the liturgical actions that occur in the parish of the Holy Trinity Paslaten. Then the researcher proceeds to the search for the level of liturgical understanding, especially the liturgical action of the people. In the end, we will know how liturgical teaching compares with the liturgical understanding and liturgical action of the people. The methods used are observation, interviews, and literature studies. Observation is made to observe liturgical actions that are carried out by people in liturgical celebrations. Interviews were conducted to determine the level of understanding and meaning of the people regarding the liturgical actions they carried out. A literature study was conducted to find out about the official teaching of the Church regarding liturgical action. Important results found are: the practice of liturgical action is often incompatible with teaching. The practice of the sign of the cross, standing, kneeling, and sitting is often not done properly and correctly. Such liturgical practices often also lose meaning and significance. However, there are still people who faithfully and passionately carry out these liturgical acts. From these results, it can be concluded that liturgical actions have not been fully carried out properly and correctly, nor have they often lost their meaning. The pastoral recommendations offered are good liturgical teaching and complete facilities to support liturgical action.

Since then, the practice of using traditional mass is rarely used anymore. During the Pontifical period of Pope Benedict XVI, he issued the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, which permitted the Return to the Practice of this Traditional Mass. Three years later, Pope Francis asked the bishops through the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to review the implementation of the Summorum Pontificum. The Pope discovered that there was a movement towards division, so Pope Francis issued the Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes to cancel the existing norms and laws in the Summorum Pontificum, to maintain the unity of the Church.
