The Pope Gives His Blessing to Facebook, Orkut, and Social Media

Dear Catholics,
Now we can feel good about being active using social media. Recently, Pope Benedict XVI shared his reflections about social media and global communication throughout internet. He pointed out the "dark sides" and "bright sides" of the social media use. However, in his speech he concluded that:
"I would like then to invite Christians, confidently and with an informed and responsible creativity, to join the network of relationships which the digital era has made possible. This is not simply to satisfy the desire to be present, but because this network is an integral part of human life. The web is contributing to the development of new and more complex intellectual and spiritual horizons, new forms of shared awareness."

via Message for the 45th World Communications Day, Benedict XVI."
