Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life said that if internet existed in history, there will be no abortion! Quirino Sugon Jr. of Monk's Hobbit said that an hour of tweeting a day sends Reproductive Health Law (RH Law) away! Actually, I fully believed in what they said.
In the hands of upright people, the internet is a power for social change. If Christ were to be born today, his apostles will surely use the net to win friends and followers, as well as publish what they hear and see in Jesus' company.
To date, 65% of the world's population is still not online but those 24/7 net users are the decision-makers. They bring the world where they want; hopefully, to what is true, good and beautiful! We need apostles online!
It takes time to configure oneself in the use of multi-media. The young ones are the experts but they hardly have had the experience of solid-catechesis of what life is, hence, they need to be joined by the older ones. Let them discover your wisdom via social media.
Dialogue of life still happens but in another way-- in mediated way! It's the language of the young which adults couldn't avoid, and that is, if we want to be relevant. The "generation divide" is at last avoided; thanks to Inter Mirifica that said "Media are God's gifts".
I joined Facebook for the sole reason of keeping track of my nephews and nieces; their friends, their whatabouts and whereabouts and I joined Twitter to see that RH Law will not be implemented as it is! Internet made it possible although I am 3,264 miles away.
In an outreach to Nowshera-Risalpur flood victims, we brought some providence. These women lost everything and yet when asked, what do you desire most? They said, they have everything because now, they have the Word of God; the Bible! May they also be heard, those without internet connection!
