Church Leadership's Digital Engagement

Based on the materials, one can observe that among the presented quotes there is a theme suggesting the possibility that church leaders, despite established expectations, might have an interest in modern mass media. In particular, one of the statements (source: link txt) poses a rhetorical question about whether the Patriarchate itself should have participated in the process from the very beginning by creating its own web radio and web television. This phrasing implies that even if the official stance condemns the negative influence of traditional television programs, there is an idea that representatives of the patriarchate are capable of recognizing and possibly embracing new forms of broadcasting.

Thus, although the main focus of the quotes is the criticism of television and its detrimental impact on spiritual life, the proposed idea of creating independent electronic channels indicates that the possibility of a secret or even strategic interest in television by the patriarchs cannot be ruled out.

"Following the fire at the Ostankino Tower, television was taken off the air, which in turn brought alternative electronic media, particularly the Internet, to the forefront. The day after the fire, it was quite challenging to access the Internet due to the increased traffic.

Perhaps the Patriarchate really should have considered participating in the process right from the start by creating its own web radio and web television?
