However, my pastor sees any form of social networking or online church as a diluting or dumbing down of the real thing: God in soundbytes. After our last conversation which I think found him backed into a corner by my enthusiasm, he penned numerous articles for our parish blog all on the subject of "fast food faith" and "low expectations of God" etc in which he quoted from several saints from the early Church all of whom cautioned against speedy actions!

Simple, plain, and easy. However, the relationship we all have in Jesus Christ can be done from anywhere. You'll likely never see the Catholic church understand or endorse online church campuses, but faith-based bodies of people in this generation will. The key is creating effective community, accountability, and usability in the online environment. This is where I don't know if we've gotten yet, but the closest "experience" I know of would be LifeChurch.tv's Second Life campus. I think a key here is that religion cannot be done online.
