Back to the Document: A World in Transition: Faith and
TechnologyTechnology is one of the most marvelous expressions of the human spirit, but it is not an unmixed blessing 2: 33
This same technology threatens the unity and even the future of mankind 2: 35
…profound human needs endure, and the educational mission of the Church must use old ways and new to meet them 2: 40
Technological progress equips man with sophisticated means of communication, analysis and research.2: 34
Faithful to the past and open to the future, we must accept the burden and welcome the opportunity of proclaiming the Gospel of Christ in our times. 2: 41
