Every diocese in the world should have a web page, but perhaps not for the reasons that first come to mind. The information on this page is not Canon Law , but rather represents the opinions of the directors of the Society of Archbishop Justus , which was formed for the purpose of furthering Christian communication on the internet. You are reading this on the Internet, and this is communication for and about Christianity, so we are on our home court here. Most people interact with the church through its parishes, through its individual congregations. Bishops are important to the survival of the church, to the continuance of the faith, and to the governance of parishes.
Bishops are the embodiment of Apostolic succession.
But most churchgoers see a bishop only a few times in their lives, and most non-churchgoers have never seen a bishop at all, save perhaps on television. Bishops are the authority of the church and its strength, but they are not its everyday public face. A small assertion that this is the official web page. Sooner or later there will be an attempt to produce a fraudulent web page, and if every diocese gets in the habit of including an imprimatur, it will be less difficult for the public to detect the fraud.
