Parish leaders have the significant responsibility of curating the knowledge and practices of the Catholic Christian religion they provide their parishioners.  Recall Jesus’ graphic message (Mt 18:6; Lk 17:2) about those who lead the little ones astray suffering a fate worse than drowning with a mill-stone tied about their necks?  Jesus is so emphatic because at stake is people’s ability to have a healthy relationship with God and to live the gospel authentically.  This responsibility has perhaps been made even more challenging by the sometimes overwhelming availability of information today, even in the area of faith.  How can we acquire religious “information literacy?” Faithful curation involves discerning a) relevance to the times and to the audience, b) opportunities for access, c) faithfulness to the gospel and to the Church and d) loads of humility.  We will discuss useful yardsticks for measuring the appropriateness of information and practice applying them to typical choices parish leaders make, like deciding on programs and publications, Scriptural interpretations, news sources and prayer experiences.
