The internet as a means of communicating the
beauty and universality of the Church in the
effort of Evangelization

The Internet makes visible the Universal Church

• The internet has a remarkable capacity to
  overcome distance and isolation, bringing people
  into contact with like-minded persons of good
  will who join in virtual communities of faith to
  encourage and support one another. Pontifical
  Council for Social Communications The Church and

The internet binds the Church together and hence
contributes to evangelization

• The modern media offer new ways of confronting
  people with the message of the Gospel, of
  allowing Christians even when they are far away
  to share in sacred rites, worship and
  ecclesiastical functions. In this way they can
  bind the Christian community closer together and
  invite everyone to participate in the intimate
  life of the Church. Pastoral Instruction

  Communication

By means of the internet, the Church should
communicate Her true nature to others

• It is the mission of those with responsible
  positions in the Church to announce without fail
  or pause the full truth by the means of social
  communication, so as to give a true picture of
  the Church and her life. Communio et Progressio

The internet as a new means of communicating
holiness

• Along with traditional means such as witness of
  life, catechetics, personal contact, popular
  piety, the liturgy and similar celebrations, the
  use of media is now essential in evangelization
  and catechesis. Pastoral Instruction Aetatis
  Novae On Social Communications

The internet should be an instrument for
demonstrating the beauty and universality of the
Catholic Church

• The media of social communications can and
  should be instruments in the Church's program of
  re-evangelization and new evangelization in the
  contemporary world. In view of the proven
  efficacy of the old principle "see, judge, act",
  the audiovisual aspect of media in evangelization
  should be given due attention. Aetatis Novae
