The Church believed that her faith had social relevance. God, who is believed in, is responded to in concrete cultural and political situations. Therefore, the Church is no longer an isolated religious institution but integral to people's life experiences. Currently, the Indonesian nation is not only in a political crisis but also a crisis of political behavior. This crisis is exacerbated because the political elite has no shame in politics. Empirically, it is effortless to find examples of how there is no sense of shame because they have been guilty in society, and most prominently in the attitudes of political elites. It is no secret that many leaders and political elites are guilty of causing various crises, but when appearing in public, they do not show that they are guilty. Thus, this study aims to find the ethical values of the passion story of Jesus based on the Gospel of John. John presents the story of Jesus' passion for showing Jesus' empire as King through His "exaltation" on the Cross. Through this reading, leaders and public officials know and behave as leaders in front of the people. This research is a critical reading of the story of the passion of Jesus so that ethical points are found on how the political elite should act in the public sphere.
This study aims to explain the concept of creation theology according to the Catholic Church's view as stated in the Encyclical Laudato-Si articles 62-75. This is motivated by the complexity of ecological problems with various causes. So the solution is not only from one way of interpreting and changing reality. It is also necessary to ask for help from various cultural treasures of the nation, especially religion if you want to develop a complete ecology. In this regard, the Catholic Church as a religious institution is very open to dialogue with philosophical thought and the scientific sciences, and this has enabled the Church to produce various syntheses between faith and reason. This research uses the method of literature study and critical reading of the creation story in the Book of Genesis. This research finds that the Catholic Church based on the Bible from the beginning has a solid view of the concept of creation that humans are called to care for and preserve the created nature. Pope Francis emphasized this in his encyclical Laudato-Si articles 62-75. Therefore, the task of caring for the created world is the call and duty of the Christian faith. By realizing this the complexity of environmental problems can be overcome.
