Source(google.com)First, Weinberger looks at Pope Francis’ initial characterization of the Internet:
The internet, in particular, offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God.
Weinberger calls this a “remarkable characterization” compared to all of the other ways Pope Francis could have started:
Not: The Internet is a source of temptations to be resisted. Not: The Internet is just the latest over-hyped communication technology, and remember when we thought telegraphs would bring world peace? Not: The Internet is merely a technology and thus just another place for human nature to reassert itself. Not: The Internet is just a way for the same old powers to extend their reach. Not: The Internet is an opportunity to do good, but be wary because we can also do evil with it. It may be many of those. But first: The Internet — its possibilities for encounter and solidarity — is truly good. The Internet is a gift from God.
While I agree with Weinberger, there is also something that is not fundamentally new. Even just looking at past World Communications Day messages over the past quarter century, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II both typically lead with the goodness of the new technology.
“Social Networks: portals of truth and faith; new spaces for evangelization.” (Pope Benedict XVI, 2013):
“I wish to consider the development of digital social networks which are helping to create a new “agora”, an open public square in which people share ideas, information and opinions, and in which new relationships and forms of community can come into being. These spaces, when engaged in a wise and balanced way, help to foster forms of dialogue and debate which, if conducted respectfully and with concern for privacy, responsibility and truthfulness, can reinforce the bonds of unity between individuals and effectively promote the harmony of the human family. The exchange of information can become true communication, links ripen into friendships, and connections facilitate communion.”
Truth, Proclamation and Authenticity of Life in the Digital Age (Pope Benedict XVI, 2011):
“New horizons are now open that were until recently unimaginable; they stir our wonder at the possibilities offered by these new media and, at the same time, urgently demand a serious reflection on the significance of communication in the digital age. This is particularly evident when we are confronted with the extraordinary potential of the internet and the complexity of its uses.”
New Technologies, New Relationships. Promoting a Culture of Respect, Dialogue and Friendship. (Pope Benedict XVI, 2009):
“Many benefits flow from this new culture of communication [...] While the speed with which the new technologies have evolved in terms of their efficiency and reliability is rightly a source of wonder, their popularity with users should not surprise us, as they respond to a fundamental desire of people to communicate and to relate to each other.”
The Media: A Network for Communication, Communion and Cooperation (Pope Benedict XVI, 2006):
“Technological advances in the media have in certain respects conquered time and space, making communication between people, even when separated by vast distances, both instantaneous and direct. This development presents an enormous potential for service of the common good and “constitutes a patrimony to safeguard and promote” (Rapid Development, 10).”
The Communications Media: At the Service of Understanding Among Peoples (Pope John Paul II, 2005):
“Modern technology places at our disposal unprecedented possibilities for good”
The Media and the Family: A Risk and a Richness (Pope John Paul II, 2004):
“The extraordinary growth of the communications media and their increased availability has brought exceptional opportunities for enriching the lives not only of individuals, but also of families.”
Internet: A New Forum for Proclaiming the Gospel (Pope John Paul II, 2002):
“For the Church the new world of cyberspace is a summons to the great adventure of using its potential to proclaim the Gospel message.”
Mass media: a friendly companion for those in search of the Father (Pope John Paul II, 1999):
“With the recent explosion of information technology, the possibility for communication between individuals and groups in every part of the world has never been greater. Yet, paradoxically, the very forces which can lead to better communication can also lead to increasing self-centredness and alienation. We find ourselves therefore in a time of both threat and promise.”
