ROME - On any given day, Pope Franciss point-man for migrants has a stacked inbox on his desk: From coordinating the launch of a papal document on the Amazon region to urging bishops conferences across Europe to help asylum seekers.
Yet Jesuit Cardinal Michael Czerny, Under-Secretary of the Migrant sand Refugees Section of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development - an office that answers directly to the pope - has something else keeping him up at night: The challenge of seeking to engage with truth in spite of the falsehoods that spread so rapidly in modern social media.
A few of the falsehoods can be dangerous exaggerations of something good, but I think more of them arise from ill will, the Canadian cardinal told Crux. I dont think its really possible to ignore this very new dimension of daily life and pretend that we can stick exclusively to the older forms of communication. Instead we need to develop new skills to navigate cyberspace and be effective while retaining equilibrium and serenity.
Before heading to this weeks spiritual retreat for members of the Roman Curia in the Italian town of Ariccia, Czerny spoke to Crux in a written exchange.
What follows are excerpts of that conversation.
