Yesus sebagai Locus Classicus Sakramen Penguatan dalam Teologi Kenan B. Osborne

Abstract

Most Christian believe that the Confirmation is the sacrament of the Holy Spirit (center of the sacrament) and the sacrament initiation. According to Kenan B. Osborne, such understanding of the Confirmation does not reach Je-sus personally as the primordial sacrament and does not present Jesus as the locus classicus of Confirmation. Thus the understanding of people becomes a problem if there is no clear relationship between Jesus and the Holy Spirit in the Confirmation. Through literarature study, the writer uses Hans-Georg Gadamer's to dig deeper and to analyse the text and to fuse (fusion of horizons) the author's perspective. The results of the research are: 1) Kenan B. Osborne has a perspective that Jesus is as locus classicus of Confirmation, 2) We need a perspective of faith in the context of God's salvation in relationship with Trinitarian Theology to understand Jesus as locus classicus in related to pneumatology-christology, ecclesiology, and the understanding that Jesus as the primordial sacrament, 3) Osborne's idea completes and gives deeper understanding about Jesus as locus classicus of Confirmation in the teaching, the juridicial norms, and the pastoral approach of Catholic Church.
