Abstract

The presence of the contemporary human being in virtual space of digital media and social networks necessarily also implies active inclusion of the Church in the »digital world« as an area of new proclamation. Starting from that fact, in this article the authors analyse some postulates of so‑called digital anthropology, discuss characteristics of the proclamation of faith, and compare them with characteristics of the digital environment, while reflecting on possibilities of communication in the virtual environment. Given the fact that dynamics of proclamation in the »digital world« has characteristics of missionary activity of the Church, the question of inculturation is raised – possibility of forming a new culture – as well as ways in which it might be possible to transmit existing contents on the digital platform. Since – as Pope Francis writes – the revolution that is taking place in information‑communication technologies »represents a great and exciting challenge that demands fresh energies and new imagination in transmitting the beauty of God to others«, the article also points out the importance of media literacy as a key skill for finding one’s way in the digital environment. This skill is equally necessary for pastoral workers and the faithful.
