The Mission of Writing Catholic Articles on the Net
The mission of writing Catholic articles on the
Net is to help deepen the faith knowledge of fellow
Catholics, to make more known our Catholic doctrine
and prayer to other Christians, and to introduce the
Catholic faith to those who do not yet know of
Christianity. It is among the last two groups of
people which the mission of writing Catholic articles
can have more emphasis.
Catholic articles writing for the benefit of fellow
Catholics can be sourced from classic and contemporary
documents, literature, and teaching. Classic documents
can be taken from the Vatican web site at
www.vatican.va The most recent documents are the
ones produced by the Second Vatican Council and the
fourteen encyclicals written by John Paul II. The
titles of these encyclicals are given in
The Encyclicals
of Pope John Paul II.
More than doctrine, prayer and spirituality is also
very important for deepening our fellow Catholics'
faith. The
Family Consecration to the Sacred Heart
of Jesus is a very important guide for Catholic
families so that their home may be built on a
strong foundation. Articles that deepen the
foundation of the Catholic home like this classic
spiritual tradition can be written in abundance
to help our brother and sister Catholics in
"building their house on rock" and not on
"shifting sand" as the Scripture tells us.
Since what distinguishes Catholic Christians
from other Christians is the strong devotion
to the Eucharist and to the Blessed Virgin
Mary, emphasis of writing Catholic articles in
this regard can also be made for fellow Catholics.
Examples of writings on these two subjects which
you can pattern your writing of Catholic articles
are:
Catholic articles writing for the benefit
of other Christians is also very important. This
is where we have the opportunity to write in an
ecumenical spirit - writing in a manner to lead
them to respect our faith as we mutually
respect their faith also. Articles that give
them information on what the Catholic faith is
all about is very important. One good source
for writing articles in this regard is our
Catholic Catechism. Some articles given as
examples that give information to other Christians
with the Catholic Catechism as one of its
resources, are as follows:
Often, other Christians can mean those who either
share in our Catholic heritage and history but
who at some part of the history of the Christian
faith, have established their own particular
Christian beliefs and traditions. Many of these
Churches still retain parts of the Catholic
tradition while others have just kept to the
tradition of the Scriptures. The leadership
of John Paul II was very beneficial to the
efforts for Christian unity and ecumenism. This
was clearly expressed in many calls for prayer,
dialogue, agreements, and concordances. It is
in this spirit of John Paul II that the call
to writing Catholic articles for the benefit
of reconciliation with our separated Christian
brothers and sisters is very timely and
opportune.
Catholic articles writing for the benefit
of non-Christians is where the Net can
be used more effectively, if our writing integrates
the language and the culture of this very special
social communications medium. Much of the people
who use the Net are those who engage in business
and the task of imparting many sources of information
for the benefit of many people. To reach those
who use the Net for these purposes, then we can
write Catholic articles that introduce the faith
through the imparting of information in general
on internet technology, small business development,
and social communications leadership. Examples
of articles that are written along this line
are:
We can be very creative in our writing in this
regard as we can use many universal values, insights
and wisdom integrated in our writing for those
who wish to know about the Catholic faith as it
is presented in the language of internet technology,
business development and communications leadership.
Summary:
The mission of writing Catholic articles for the Net
is an ongoing mission to supplement the universal mission
of the Catholic faith. Its purpose is not only to provide
information but also to lead many page viewers and readers
of the Catholic articles to develop within themselves a
contemplative eye and view of the world and its events.
This latter objective can be fulfilled through Catholic
articles that contain some content that are reflective
and meditative. Upon first contact with the writing of
Catholic articles along this line, it is hoped that the
articles will help those who read them with their particular
needs. For Catholics, further information and deepening
in the faith. For other Christians, further clarification
and more explanations on the meaning of Catholicism. For
non-Christians, an intensifying desire to quench their
their thirst and interest in Catholic Christianity. This
is the service that we also render in our mission of
writing Catholic articles on the Net.
