About LoveToBeCatholic.com
Inspired by the Holy Spirit and motivated by John Paul II’s vision for a new missionary age, we have launched LoveToBeCatholic.com, a new tool for Catholic Evangelization.
LoveToBeCatholic is:
- a platform for user-generated Catholic video content
- a resource for Catholics to celebrate and deepen their faith
- a resource for non-Catholics to learn about the Catholic faith and deepen their relationship with God
- inclusive
- one of many online resources where Catholics should upload videos promoting the Gospel and the Catholic Faith
We believe that collectively the Catholic community, especially the laity, is a powerful force for evangelization. LoveToBeCatholic provides the platform that gives people a voice to broadcast their beliefs and speak out about the many gifts and blessings of the Catholic faith. It is one more important channel for information and spiritual guidance. We aim to make it one of the most popular Catholic resources on the Internet.
In his Ecclesia in America, the Holy Father Pope John Paul II explains, “"For the new evangelization to be effective, it is essential to have a deep understanding of the culture of our time in which the social communications media are most influential. Therefore, knowledge and use of the media, whether the more traditional forms or those which technology has produced in recent times, is indispensable. Contemporary reality demands a capacity to learn the language, nature and characteristics of mass media. Using the media correctly and competently can lead to a genuine inculturation of the Gospel. At the same time, the media also help to shape the culture and mentality of people today, which is why there must be a special pastoral activity aimed at those working in the media."
