As a media literacy educator, I equip Catholics to be critical engagers of the media, countering the polarization present in online environments. Catholics are not exempt from this challenge; indeed, some unwittingly proliferate divisive content. Reflection, self-examination, and formation are more vital than ever to prevent the Gospel from being eclipsed by clickbait headlines or toxic comments. By cultivating the discipline of pausing to reflect before responding online, we allow Christ’s command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Mk 12:31) to shine in even the darkest digital spaces. We all bear the responsibility to foster peaceful dialogue and a culture of encounter—walking as companions with others amid indifference and fragmentation, as Pope Francis taught. In this way, we witness to the world what it truly means to be disciples of Christ—online and offline.
