Emerald - 1997
LászlóLukács1
1Head of the Communication Office of the Hungarian Catholics Bishops’ Conference in Budapest, Hungary

Tóm tắt

Discusses the (primarily Catholic) Church in the “information society,” and explores the nature of communications in this context, and specifically the Internet. Suggests that the Church must embrace today’s communications media and leverage its position as social and ethical advisor and counselor within the primarily capitalist social systems within which it operates. Sees the Internet as morally neutral technology, able to be utilized as a force for good or bad, education, propaganda and entertainment, and challenges the Church to embrace its utilization.
