Welcome to our blog where we dive into the latest news and updates from the Catholic Church! In a world where misinformation and “fake news” are prevalent, Bishop Jose Rapadas of Iligan reminds us of the importance of sharing the truth of God’s mercy, compassion, and kindness.
During the National Catholic Social Communication Convention in Lipa City, Bishop Rapadas emphasized the need for Catholic communicators to embody these virtues in their ministry to make God’s kingdom visible and appreciated in the world.
He highlighted that true influence for the Church comes from witnessing to God’s mercy and compassion, rather than just seeking more likes and followers on social media. By sharing encounters with Jesus and testifying to His transformative power, communicators can attract others to the faith.
The convention, organized by the CBCP Episcopal Commission on Social Communications (ECSC), also delved into discussions on the role of artificial intelligence in digital evangelization. While AI can be a powerful tool, Bishop Roberto Gaa of Novaliches emphasized the importance of human wisdom in promoting the common good.
As we navigate the digital age, let us remember that sharing the truth of God’s love and values is the ultimate goal of social communication ministry. By spreading kindness, compassion, and the message of Jesus, we can make a real impact and bring His kingdom closer to the hearts of all.
