6!vil thrives in a vacuum. 23' twitter' social media

are human inventions. %s human inventions Christmust enter there. If we will not put Christ there' if

we will not put 2aith there' or spiritual insights

there' some other people will put in erroneousmisleading teachings there. %nd the way to

overcome evil is to saturate the world with the

power of good. So the more good things we infuseto social media' the better for the church and the

better for humanity also.8

Cardinal Tagle5

Det us not looA at this whole new world as an

enemy. There is much good in it. It is one of thesigns of the times giving us hope and opportunities

for mission. So the social networAing world is both

a means of bringing the good news of 0esus Christto a vaster audience. It is truly an instrument of

evangeliJation but at the same time it is a field that

needs to be evangeliJed.8
