"The Internet is certainly a new 'forum' understood in the ancient Roman sense of that public space... For the Church the new world of cyberspace is a summons to the great adventure of using its potential to proclaim the Gospel message."

"Modern communication tools, including social media, are essential for evangelization."

"I exhort you to walk the roads of the digital continent, animated by the courage of the Holy Spirit."

"The digital environment is not a parallel or purely virtual world, but is part of the daily experience of many people, especially the young."

"I dare to summon the whole Church bravely to cross this new threshold, to put out into the deep of the Net, so that now as in the past the great engagement of the Gospel and culture may show to the world "the glory of God on the face of Christ” (2 Cor 4:6)."

"The web is contributing to the development of new and more complex intellectual and spiritual horizons, new forms of shared awareness. In this field too we are called to proclaim our faith that Christ is God, the Saviour of humanity and of history, the one in whom all things find their fulfilment"

"Believers are increasingly aware that, unless the Good News is made known also in the digital world, it may be absent in the experience of many people for whom this existential space is important."

"The Church must be present on social media to reach people where they are."

"In this way the Church exercises that which can be defined as a ‘deaconate of culture’ on today's ‘digital continent,’ using its means to announce the Gospel, the only Word that can save the human being."
