An online presentation sponsored by the National Eucharistic Revival explored how Catholics can utilize technology for good, drawing inspiration from the life of Blessed Carlo Acutis, a soon-to-be-saint known for his skillful use of technology to spread his Catholic faith. Acutis, who died in 2006, is due to be canonized in 2025. The presentation highlighted statistics about teen screen time and mental health issues linked to excessive digital engagement, contrasting Acutis's approach as a 'digital missionary' who used the internet for holiness while remaining grounded in the Eucharist.
An online presentation sponsored by the National Eucharist ic Revival explored the question of how Catholics can use technology for good, inspired by the life of soon-to-be-saint Carlo Acutis .“Roadmap to Reality: Carlo Acutis and Our Digital Age ” is a new documentary film exploring the life of Blessed Carlo Acutis and the lessons he offers young people regarding the challenges of the digital world that will be coming to theaters in the spring of 2025.
Tim Moriarty, director of the new film “Roadmap to Reality: Carlo Acutis and Our Digital Age” and co-host of the Dec. 17 webinar, highlighted statistics that suggest the average teen spends half of his or her waking hours looking at screens, and the troubling evidence of mental health issues and suicidal ideation linked to excessive digital engagement.
Acutis’ deep devotion to Christ in the Eucharist, which informed his prudent use of technology, is an example for people today, he said. He asserted that Catholics would do well to take an approach to technology more like the Amish — a group that contrary to popular belief does not reject technology, he added — and ask in the face of technological advancements not “What can this do for me?” but rather “What will this do for my community?”
Robinson similarly presented Acutis as a model for navigating this digital landscape, emphasizing a balance between embracing technology’s benefits and maintaining a grounded spirituality — particularly within devotion to the Eucharist — as well as human connection.
