“ The Church would feel guilty before the Lord if it failed to use the media for evangelization.” Pope Paul VI. Evangelii Nuntiandi, n. 45.

“ The Internet is relevant to many activities and programs of the Church – evangelization, catechesis and other kinds of education, news and information, apologetics, governance and administration, and some forms of pastoral counseling and spiritual direction...

... It also provides the Church with a means for communicating with particular groups – young people and young adults, the elderly and home-bound, persons living in remote areas, the members of other religious bodies – who otherwise may be difficult to reach.” Church and Internet, n. 5
