A Basic Look At Catholic Bloggers And Real Time Informational Evangelization

By Della Monroe


Fundamentally, Catholicism is a serene faith. The internet has conferred exciting possibilities in enabling real time information and interpersonal evangelism. Catholic bloggers arrest mischief directed at the Church. They make fast corrections to traditional media narratives and insist on correct representation. Prospering right besides this glorious wheat of opportunity is mocking chaff of disdainful attention spans befuddling numerous parties.

Many people looking for consolation or answers often expect them in cyber fields of God instantly. Those given missions of tending God work search for quick feedback here too. Blog authors used to easy praise and soft debates from diverse internet media acquire skill sets that enable quick responses. They have also acquired skills for almost transactional settling of spiritual issues. Genuine lay people, clerics and religious people sent by Pope Emeritus face novel challenges in giving a soul to the World Wide Web. They suffer disorientation by encountering resistance especially if they are untutored in deeper ministry.

A blogger may overstep age-old boundaries that shall forever define Catholic evangelist work everywhere. This is particularly pronounced within that restless internet world. Such work involves hoeing rows and planting seeds. Next comes nurturing, where applicable, content that allows Holy Spirit to prompt and draw people to Christ. In there lies proper orientation for that fitful seeker dropping in then out too fast to recognize. A blog writer will do the same by attracting not repelling seekers.

With sites like Blogger and WordPress, everyone holding certain opinions can initiate blogging. In as much as there is too much online nonsense, plenty of very valuable information exists online too. Encyclicals, exhortations and decrees used to take considerable time to disseminate effectively.

Today, this takes minutes to happen after publication. Good information generally drives bad information away. Blog authors who post inaccurate information get rapid censure. Should bad information keep on appearing or remain uncorrected, offending blogs soon loose audience. As such, blogging is one very democratic medium.

There is no democracy within The Catholic Church. Truth is not subordinate to majority vote. Christ started His Church and proceeded to hand over the kingdom keys of heaven to Peter, one of his disciples. There has been a hierarchical structure since then to date. That immense popularity rests on blogs authored by deacons and priests explaining Church teachings in these accessible avenues is a demonstration of recognition given to such authority.

Lay individuals must counteract those errors that lean towards undermining society, moral order and religious foundations. Such individuals must use every learning and intelligence gift in their possession, blogging included, to do so. Everything possible should be done to explain, apply and defend Christian principles whenever these are challenged. This is with Catholic Church mind accordance.

Deficiency in requisite catechesis infers certain Catholics remain ignorant about Church teachings. Again, many with apt awareness often term it irrelevant, rejecting it. Writing Catholic Blogs, in this regard, has special apostolates. They include letting everyone know about real Church teachings. These are correcting every misunderstanding or different deliberate distortion. These are showing people how to make teachings their way of daily life. Many people regard blog writers highly where combating doubtful attitudes features. Bloggers present them with avenues to vent their frustrations difficult to vent with parish priests.
