The Internaut's Decalogue
Introduction
This text is a suggestion prepared for the World Communications Day, celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church in Poland on the third Sunday in September.
The "Internaut's Decalogue" authors are a family of internet users: Urszula, Marek, Dominika and Piotr Augustyn together with fr. Józef Kloch. The "Decalogue” was created as a result of debates taking place in February and July 2002. The direct stimulus for the discussions was the January WCD Message by John Paul II, entirely devoted to the issues of internet, as well as two later (February) documents by the Pontifical Council for Social Communications
It is also an attempt to draw attention -- in a brief way -- to the problems arising when using the Internet. Many such debates took place in Poland, one of them on the "Wiez” monthly pages.
The Internaut's Decalogue
