Ratzinger: the web, the Copernican revolution

A change in the way of conceiving the Internet, finally, even the Vatican. In message for World Communications Day (June 5, 2011) Benedict XVI, in fact, in my opinion, change the size in the evaluation of new media. If the message last year, the network and digital media were described as the new powerful means that the priests should be able to use (sapendoli put at the service of the ministry and proclamation of the Gospel), this year's point of view changes. The Pope, in fact, points out that with new technologies, "is developing a new way of learning and thinking" we are, in fact, faced with a "vast cultural transformation." Here's the rub: digital media are not only beautiful artifacts, complex and risky as any other useful new tool, but being more and more part of today's world, affect "the perception of self," leading "logical" own, enable the development of "new and more complex forms of intellectual and spiritual consciousness. " What changes, then, is not the only way to communicate, but the whole vision of self, others, in the world. And then God The Pope, in short, he understood that the Copernican revolution: a change not only the external mode of life, but the same point of view on life. And the call is equally clear: the new vision must be made in dialogue with the Gospel. Who knows? as the heliocentric view helped the Church to better understand the world but herself and remembered that was his real mission, maybe soon we will realize that the Internet and digital media can help to shed new light on the Christian faith.
