Believers do not surrender. They can continue on their way to the truth because they are certain that God has created them "explorers", whose mission is to leave no stone unturned, though the temptation to doubt is always there. Leaning on God, they continue to reach out, always and everywhere, for all that is beautiful, good, and true.

From this galaxy of sight and sound will the face of Christ emerge and the voice of Christ be heard?

And this is what will make the Internet a genuinely human space, for if there is no room for Christ, there is no room for man.
