How do we put our faith lives and our media lives together? How do we parent the media--teach, evangelize and catechize about media? How can we be victorious over porn? How do we use media humanly and well? What's the future of media--where is it all heading? How does the way we choose to use media today shape our tomorrow? If we use digital media and we're Catholic...that makes us "Digital Catholics."
