Virtual Communion: Theology of the Internet and the Catholic
Sacramental Imagination provides a theological account of the
internet from a Catholic perspective. It engages digital culture by
providing a context for media and mediation within the Catholic
tradition, specifically focusing on the ecclesiology and
sacramentality of the church. Katherine G. Schmidt argues that the
Catholic imagination is inherently consonant with the idea of the
"virtual," understood as the creative space between presence and
absence, bringing the fields of media studies, internet studies,
sociology, history, and theology together in order to give a
theological account of the social realities of American Catholicism
in light of digital culture. Overall, Schmidt argues that the
social possibilities of the internet afford the church great
opportunity for building a social context that allows the living
out of Eucharistic logic learned in properly liturgical moments.
