Church Reaching Out to Youth in a Digital WorldBy Father John Flynn, LC
ROME, JAN. 31, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Who says the Church is out of touch with the modern world? In his recent message for World Communications Day, Benedict XVI urges priests to communicate through the digital media.
"The world of digital communication, with its almost limitless expressive capacity, makes us appreciate all the more St. Paul's exclamation: 'Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel,'" the Pope commented.
Just a few days before the message was published, a study released on Jan. 21 by the Kaiser Family Foundation showed just how important it is for the Church to be present in these rapidly developing forms of media.
"Generation M2: Media in the Lives of 8 to 18 Year Olds" was the third in a series of large-scale national surveys by the foundation about young people's media use.
