| Résumé: | The principle of religious neutrality found in the first principle of Pancasila, is the original thought of Sukarno, the founding father of the Republic of Indonesia. Sukarno cultivated this seed of non-exclusive religious patriotism in the 1920s and 1930s (when he was exiled to the Catholic Island of Flores). At the same time, under the leadership of Jesuit Father Van Lith SJ, a small group of Catholics in Java grew up with patriotic ideas. Political developments in the 1930s and particularly Japanese’s occupation (1942–1945) led Java's Catholic minority to become fully involved in the movement for Indonesian independence. Mr. Kasimo and the Jesuit Mgr. Soegijapranata SJ were two of Van Lith's students who integrated the Catholics in a new country called Indonesia. The most important contribution of the Catholic minority was found in the interpretation of Pancasila by Nicolas Driyarkara SJ, which gained wide acceptance in Indonesia in the 1960s. According to this Jesuit priest, Pancasila is a state principle that gives religion a very important place without making Indonesia a religious state. |
