God's on the Internet!
Rome, Jun. 06 (CWNews.com) - God can be found even on the internet, the president of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications remarked in a June 6 talk to a European internet conference.
Archbishop John Foley, speaking to Catholic web-site operators in Rome, said that among the millions of people who use the internet every day, some may find new spiritual resources, and support for their interior lives. The American prelate said that Catholics should take advantage of "new opportunities for new means of informing, educating, praying, and evangelizing." He added that Catholics should also seek to make the internet a resource that can be used to promote the common good, protect peace, and encourage respect for human dignity and solidarity.
