but means to the real end of PCentral Online WebNetwork: which is the propagation
of the Catholic faith by using internet technology and techniques.

find methods of incorporating the Catholic value system in his search engine
optimization techniques.

value system of the WebNetwork
There are many ways to do so. You can:

The Spirit's Love Leaders Corps

36th World Communications Day Message which also speaks of the
Catholic mission "as continuing the work begun on the day of Pentecost."
In the Internet, many website owners link with one another. If each one
follows the Pentecost spirit of sharing and generosity in their link
resources, then there will be a WebNetwork in a small part of the Internet
universe which can be a network of Catholic domains and websites.

Gospel may be
proclaimed, the Christian value system may be promoted, and the Catholic
faith propagated in the Internet?
This can be done in the following ways:

(see Holy Spirit Ministries and
Lists and Groups)
2. Be a Catholic webauthor

A Program of Excellence)
3. Witness and be known as a Catholic in other lists, forums, websites, directories,
and webrings.
6. Beginning and Starting
- First, to believe in the commissioning and blessing of the late
Holy Father, John Paul II, in his May 12, 2002 message: "May
the Lord bless all those who work for this aim."
- Second, is growth and maturity in the Christian life
through living a sacramental life together with this work
- Third, is the honor and privilege of achieving a certain
level of expertise in the Internet and then sharing this knowledge
with those who may also be interested in it.
- Fourth, is to learn and really master what you have learned
by teaching others all what you have gained, achieved, and specialized
in with the many techniques and technology information in the Internet
7. More things to know and learn
Success in the Internet and in our faith in Christ is both a journey
and a formation process. Being an online Catholic with a website is
only part of the total picture. The Catholic faith context in which
all our internet mission and ministry roots itself in is still and will
always be the living, liturgical, and sacramental celebration of the
Eucharist and the other sacraments. Our being Catholic must never be
rooted out from the formation given by Catholic institutions like the
parish or other transparochial Catholic organizations.
As regards our technological knowledge and the techniques we have
learned, a Catholic webauthor must continually update himself of
anything new in the Internet market and industry. This he can do by
subscribing to many publications online. Current updates online will
help the Catholic webauthor study more how best he can improve his
Catholic website so that it would be of greater service to a wider
audience of readers.
