Jesuit And Facebook

From smoke signals to the telegraph, from telephones to Facebook, methods for keeping in touch with others far away are helpful, but they are never a substitute for meeting in person, said an Italian Jesuit magazine. Jesuit Father Antonio Spadaro, who belongs to the Internet social networking site Facebook, wrote about the site in La Civilta Cattolica, a magazine reviewed by the Vatican before publication.
"Basically, Facebook incarnates a utopia: that of always staying close to those people we care about in one way or another and of getting to know others who are compatible with us,"
he wrote in the article published in mid-January.
