Believers who bear witness to their most profound convictions greatly help prevent the Web from becoming an instrument which depersonalizes people, attempts to manipulate them emotionally or allows those who are powerful to monopolize the opinions of others. On the contrary, believers encourage everyone to keep alive the eternal human questions which testify to our desire for transcendence and our longing for authentic forms of life, truly worthy of being lived. It is precisely this uniquely human spiritual yearning which inspires our quest for truth and for communion and which impels us to communicate with integrity and honesty. I invite young people above all to make good use of their presence in the digital world.
Love this quote from Cardinal Francis George:
God’s kingdom is ... a network, not a place. We’ve become used to electronic networks of all sorts, so perhaps it will be easier for people to understand God’s kingdom now. Of course, we’re not connected electronically in God’s kingdom; we’re related by grace and love, realities highly charged, small and tender but widespread.
So can we make Tumblr more like God's kingdom?
