Summary of presentation: The Catholic Church is living in a digital age. It considers it necessary to improve its communications and offer spiritual education through online platforms, such as social  media and mobile applications. The recent covid-19 crisis has led to an increased sense of urgency to address the question of how the Church should be present online and adequately respond to people’s spiritual needs. The Church considers it necessary to learn effective communication methods, ensuring a social media presence that bears witness to the “style” of the Gospel.
