Digital Pessimism We hope to disappoint
Church has decided to take seriously the criticisms it has received regarding its lag in relation to the new times and has decided to take action in the matter. Church decides to enter this way fully into the digital realm.
Pope Francis was chosen to carry out this transformation. From its arrival, the Church presents another face, closer and according to the new needs of the parishioners.

In line with his renewal and aware of the importance of the Internet, the Pope has appointed Wayne White, a computer engineer and Protestant priest from Wisconsin to carry out the digital transformation.
Within the first measures, White has created with the help of some altar servers of the Order of the Enlightened ones of the Holy See Episcopal Alternative, the web Church.com to bring the teachings of Jesus to the new generations.
From the web we can register as virtual altar servers, upload videos and photos that denote our devotion, vote for the candidates to the next conclave or confess us online via web cam .
Entry into the digital realm
But the innovation has not stayed in the virtual space, but it has decided to colonize also the real space, installing numerous digital displays in the entrances of the Churches of several states of the USA.

They try to get close to the young people, sending messages of love, happiness and joy , especially in these dates so marked and linked to the Church.
The St. George Church in Madison, Wis., Was one of the first to adopt this new initiative and assert that the measure has had a notable impact on the influx of believers around the Church .
“God is Love” or “Spaces for Rent” are some of the messages with which the new cures 2.0 try to reach the new generations.
We look forward to Digital Pessimism to follow in this new line of digital update, by the grace of God. Good night and Merry Christmas!
