For the Church and the new world of cyberspace is a summons to the great adventure of using its potential to proclaim the Gospel message.  This challenge is at the heart of what it means at the beginning of the millennium to follow the Lord’s command to “put into the deep” (Pope John Paul II)

 

Communications in and by the Church is essentially communication of the Good News of Jesus Christ. It is the proclamation of the Gospel as a prophetic, liberating word to the men and women of our times; it is testimony, in the face of radical secularization, to divine truth and to the transcendent destiny of the human person; it is the witness given in solidarity with all believers against conflict and division, to justice and communion among peoples, nations, and cultures. The internet breaks all boundaries and barriers and offers us the great possibility of communicating the Good News of Christ to all.

This understanding of communication on the part of the Church sheds a unique light on social communications and on the role which, in the providential plan of God, the media are intended to play in promoting the integral development of human persons and societies. (Aetatis Novae n.9)
