“…you cannot remain only on a virtual level. You need to open yourself to a real community of disciples of Jesus,” reflects Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli, head of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications reflecting on how good things can come out of a virtual world but can stop you from seeing the need for reality in this world. Edward Pentin, a reporter for the Catholic network, reports on how the church view social networking sites like YouTube, Facebook, etc. asking this Archbishop all sorts of questions about the church’s opinions on the matter at hand. Archbishop Celli says the church does not agree with it fully but thinks its such a good idea that they are in the process of creating a “Catholic Facebook” and is eager for that to arise. To sum it all up, the church likes the idea but is ‘afraid’ for the younger viewers to have access to such venues as YouTube, Facebook and so on.
