Summary/Abstract: In the era of the pandemic the Catholic Church faced the challenge of the digital revolution. This is particularly evident in the example of the transmission of Masses which have become a requirement of the time and are a consequence of a very rapid social media development. The virtual world has penetrated into areas that were previously reserved for (a certainkind of) Sacrum. The article deals with the transmission of Masses and problems emergingfrom the use of modern internet and television technologies. The believers’ perspective, whoare the recipients of the Mass broadcast, has been also presented.
