Bishop Cárdenas Toro discusses the expanding meaning of the command to go into the world

Bishop Juan Carlos Cárdenas Toro notes that while the early Church expanded through physical territories like Judea, Greece, and Rome, modern boundaries are often existential rather than geographic. He cites Pope Francis to explain that these new frontiers include any space where people live, work, and form relationships.

The bishop references previous papal teachings regarding digital spaces. He notes that Pope John Paul II identified the internet as a new forum for proclaiming the Gospel, while Pope Benedict XVI described the digital realm as a continent that requires the testimony of the Gospel.
