This Android application is a Student Book and Teacher's Guidebook for Catholic Religious Education and Character for Elementary School Class 4 Independent Curriculum. In Pdf format.

Catholic Religious Education is not primarily about knowing what is right or wrong. There is no point in knowing but not doing it, as Saint James said: "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead" (Jas 2:26). Thus, learning is not just to know, but by learning a person grows and changes. Not just learning and changing, but also changing circumstances.

In the religious learning process, it is hoped that it will not only increase Catholic religious insight or knowledge, but also hone "religious skills" and realize students' religious attitudes. Of course, a complete and balanced religious attitude includes human relationships with their Creator and human relationships with each other and the surrounding environment.

To ensure this balance, religious lessons need to be given special emphasis related to manners or character education. The essence of character is a person's attitude or behavior in interacting with God, oneself, family, society, the nation and the natural environment.

This book on Catholic Religious Education and Character Education was prepared in the spirit of Indonesian education (see Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning SPN) to produce human resources with Pancasila characteristics. The Vision and Mission of the Ministry of Education and Culture as stated in the Minister of Education and Culture Regulation Number 22 of 2020 concerning the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Education and Culture for 2020-2024 strengthens what the country aspires to in UUD 45 and Law no. 20 concerning the National Education System, emphasizes the importance of educational output with Pancasila characteristics.

The Pancasila student profile is the embodiment of Indonesian students as lifelong learners who have global competence and behave in accordance with Pancasila values, with six main characteristics:

1. have faith, have faith in God Almighty, and have noble character,
2. global diversity,
3. work together,
4. independent,
5. critical reasoning, and
6. creative.

The Pacasila character values ​​are explored and absorbed from the religious knowledge learned by the students and become a driving force in the formation, development, improvement, maintenance and improvement of students' behavior so that they are willing and able to carry out their life tasks in a harmonious, harmonious manner. balanced between outer and inner, physical and spiritual, material and spiritual, and individual and social.

In short, it can be said that religious education can produce human resources or individuals with integrity, or in Biblical language it is said "...faith without works is dead" (James 2:26). Faith accompanied by good deeds is living faith. It is this living faith, which we have by God's grace, that can save us (cf. Eph. 2:8-10; Tit. 3:5-8).
