Abstract
In taking the digital as an environment rather than a mere tool, this article develops
a shared analytical framework for Christian and digital anthropology, interpreted
through the conciliar notion of the “signs of the times.” It argues that, despite
differing epistemological premises between the two disciplines, they converge
in their understanding of digital identity as relational and narrative, of digital
media as environments shaping perception, authority, and belonging, and of digital
practice as a field of co–responsibility ordered toward truth, justice, and the
common good. On this basis, the article formulates guidelines for online presence
that priveleges relation over reach and community over spectacle.
