Program Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) yang digagas pemerintah Indonesia bertujuan meningkatkan kualitas gizi masyarakat, khususnya anak-anak sekolah. Namun, implementasi program ini memunculkan berbagai polemik sosial, seperti persoalan kualitas makanan, kasus keracunan makanan, serta ketimpangan kesejahteraan antara pelaksana program dan guru honorer. Situasi tersebut memperlihatkan adanya ketegangan sosial dalam masyarakat yang dapat dibaca sebagai “tanda zaman” dalam perspektif teologi pastoral.
Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis polemik Program MBG melalui pendekatan teologi pastoral dengan menggunakan metode pastoral circle yang meliputi tahap see, judge, dan act. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif melalui studi literatur terhadap dokumen Gereja, ajaran sosial Gereja, serta berbagai penelitian ilmiah yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa polemik Program MBG tidak hanya berkaitan dengan persoalan teknis kebijakan publik, tetapi juga menyangkut dimensi keadilan sosial, martabat manusia, solidaritas, dan tanggung jawab moral dalam pengelolaan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Dalam terang ajaran sosial Gereja, khususnya Fratelli Tutti dan Evangelii Gaudium, fenomena ini menjadi panggilan pastoral bagi Gereja untuk hadir secara profetis dalam memperjuangkan keadilan sosial dan kesejahteraan bersama. Dengan demikian, ketegangan sosial yang muncul dapat menjadi ruang refleksi iman sekaligus kesempatan untuk memperkuat solidaritas sosial dalam kehidupan masyarakat.
