Last August 16, 2022, Paolo Ruffini, the Prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication, addressed the World Congress of the Catholic network SIGNIS, an international association for Catholic professionals in the field of communication, in Seoul (South Korea), recalling the challenge of good journalism: to be creative and promote communication that focuses on dialogue, intelligence and helping build active communities. This year, the annual event focused on the theme “Peace in the Digital World.” The Prefect of the Dicastery for Communication pointed at the paradox of our time, that we are hyperconnected yet lonely: there is no longer communication, but only technological connection. He called for a personal and collective examination: “How is it possible to be simultaneously hyper-connected and terribly alone? What is missing from our connection that can bridge this loneliness, and that is strong enough to endure over time?” Or why is it that we are hyperconnected, but we are so divided?
