In general, the study of Nusantara Philosophy is a form of awareness of the values of the Indonesian people. Nusantara philosophy is the glue of pluralism and diversity as in the formulation of Pancasila and the slogan "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" means although different, but still one. Therefore, the book "Filsafat Nusantara: Sebuah Pemikiran Tentang Indonesia" was written to present a review of thoughts about Indonesia and Pancasila. As an Indonesian society must certainly have a part in defending the archipelago earth. The author argues that it is important to avoid disintegration due to the variety and complexity of culture and wealth contained naturally in the Indonesian region. In particular, the study of Nusantara Philosophy should be intended for prospective Church leaders (Church leaders) who are expected to act wisely and carefully in carrying out their entrusted tasks, especially to prepare to face the people and pluralist Indonesian society. Church leaders must have an insight into Indonesian nationality sourced from Nusantara assets. With the study of Nusantara Philosophy, the author believes that Indonesian people can be moved to become a figure who really loves the country (100%) and 100% native members of the Catholic Church (I.J. Kasimo). In addition, the study of Nusantara Philosophy indirectly encourages Indonesians to apply what president Joko Widodo calls "I am Indonesia, I am Pancasila". This book explained how the perspective of "Filosofi Nusantara" providing a depiction of thought about Indonesia and Pancasila. It is quite interesting because of the clear concept and urgent need for a sense of unity and unity of the nation. Where can this be a new reading source for readers before continuing on western philosophical thinking. According to Frans Magnis Suseno quoted by L.A.S Gunawan, Nusantara Philosophy is part of Cultural Philosophy by using two approaches, namely phenomenological approach that discusses phenomena in every element of Nusantara culture and metaphysical approach that reflects various phenomena in the archipelago. Nusantara philosophy reflects all things related to Nusantara (1). Overall, this book needs to be reviewed further because it has a different perspective in looking at a country (nation). With the development of the concept of Nusantara insight based on Nusantara philosophy based on Pancasila as the basis of the Indonesian state. Thus, it will bring a new outlook for every citizen and government of the country. Nusantara philosophy is coveted to be able to find the "metaphysical principle" in the framework of the unification of the Archipelago consisting of many islands where this shows the characteristics of the Archipelago, namely as an island nation. Then the principle of metaphysics is a way of thinking as well as assessing the Indonesian government in the context of the Archipelago with all its problems.

Insight Into

Cardinal Pietro Boetto, archbishop of Genoa from 1938 until his death in 1946, was an unusual Jesuit priest in several respects. First, although from humble origins, trained in seminaries other than the most prestigious Jesuit institutions, and not given to complex theological writings, he rose through the ranks of the Society’s administration to attract the notice of Pope Pius xi and be elevated to the cardinalate in 1935. The elevation was in itself highly unusual, given standard Jesuit policy and the expressed reluctance of the order’s Superior General Włodzimierz Ledóchowski at the time. Equally unexpected is the fact that the Jesuit Father Pietro Tacchi Venturi, the pope’s liaison with Mussolini, furnished intriguing background testimony about the elevation itself, which provides new insight into the pope’s policies and modes of operation. Finally, Cardinal Boetto was unusual for the clandestine assistance to Jews and anti-Fascists he provided as archbishop during the German occupation, for the broad range of rescue activities he allowed to his heroic secretary don Francesco Repetto and other priests, and for the wide-spread support networks that resulted throughout Northern and Central Italy. This article tells the story of a competent administrator with immense hidden skills and profound humanity. Sources include the memoirs of Boetto’s aide, Brother Giovanni Battista Weidinger; a biography by his associate Father Arnaldo Lanz; testimony by don Francesco Repetto; documents in the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu in Rome and the Archivio Diocesano di Genoa; and secondary studies by historians interested in the Second World War and the rescue of Jews in Genoa.

The Church

THE ROLE of the laity in the Church is a topic of great interest today. Since the second Vatican Council the part which the people could, and should, play in the Church has been discussed at length, and the shortage of priests has led to demands for the laity to become more actively involved in spiritual affairs. Some, however, still maintain that spiritual tasks must be left to the ordained, but would like to see the laity take a much more active role, as Catholics, in the secular sphere, representing and defending Catholic values in public life. In the light of the current debate, it is interesting to look at the role of the laity in the Catholic Church in Yorkshire during the last century. At that time, too, there was a shortage of priests, while the role of Catholics in public life did not always fulfil the desires of Church leaders.

The Government

Land acquisition for public purposes, including for the construction of railroad infrastructure, is a matter that is proposed by all countries in the world. The Indonesian government or the Malaysian royal government needs land for railroad infrastructure development. To realize this, a regulation was made that became the legal umbrella for the government or royal government. The people must agree to regulations that require it. Land acquisition for public use in Malaysia can be completed quickly in Indonesia. The influencing factor is the different perceptions of the understanding of what are in the public interest, history and legal systems of the two countries as well as the people's reaction from the two countries

The Church

The Second Vatican Council was a unique event in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. Initiated by Pope John XXIII, it was intended to make the Roman Catholic Church more open to the contemporary society and bring it closer to the people. The principal aim of the council was the so called aggiornamento (updating). The phenomenon of updating the ecclesiastical life consisted in the following: on the one hand, modernization of the life of the Church and closer relations with the secular world; on the other hand, preserving all the traditions upon which the ecclesiastical life was founded. Hence in the Council’s documents we find another, French word ressourcement meaning ‘return to the origins’ based on the Holy Scripture and the works of the Church Fathers. The aggiornamento phenomenon emerged during the Second Vatican Council due to the movement within the Catholic Church called nouvelle theologie (French for “new theology”). Its representatives advanced the ideas that became fundamental in the Council’s decisions. The nouvelle theologie was often associated with modernism as some of the ideas of its representatives seemed to be very similar to those of modernism. However, what made the greatest difference between the two movements was their attitude towards the tradition. For the nouvelle theologie it was very important to revive Christianity in its initial version, hence their striving for returning to the sources, for the oecumenical movement, for better relations with non-Catholics and for liturgical renewal. All these ideas can be traced in the documents of the Second Vatican Council, and all this is characterized by the word aggiornamento.

The Catholic Church

Observing the abandonment of traditional beliefs and practices in the 1830s, the scholar John O’Donovan remarked that ‘a different era—the era of infidelity—is fast approaching!’ In west Donegal, that era finally arrived c.1880, when, over much of the district, English replaced Irish as the language of the home. Yet it had been coming into view since the mid-1700s, as the district came to be fitted—through the cattle trade, seasonal migration, and protoindustrialization—into regional and global economic systems. In addition to the market, an expansion of the administrative and coercive capacity of the state and an improvement in the plant and personnel of the Catholic Church—processes that intensified in the mid-1800s—proved vital factors, as the population dwindled after the Famine, in the people breaking faith with the old and familiar and adopting the new.
