Diocese of Atambua publishes reflection on Catholic families in digital culture

The Diocese of Atambua published a theological reflection by Romo Yudel Neno, Pr, regarding Catholic families in digital culture. The text examines how smartphones, social media, artificial intelligence, and algorithms change how people relate to one another and understand themselves.

Romo Neno explains that digital technology creates an environment that shapes human habits. He notes that homes, once centered on family conversation, are now constantly influenced by external voices such as news, entertainment, advertisements, and virtual communities.

The reflection suggests that addressing the digital era requires more than setting rules for device usage. Instead, the text encourages families to consider how digital life affects the person and how humans exercise their freedom.
