God On‑Demand: The Babelic Brick — Accessus and Access in the Platform Church

Authors/Creators

Description

This essay offers a theological and phenomenological critique of the substitution of digital access for embodied religious encounter in contemporary Christian practice. Focusing on architecture, Eucharistic devotion, streaming worship, and platform-mediated formation, it argues that certain forms of technological mediation risk preempting the seeking that sacred encounter requires. The argument is not against technology as such, but against the confusion of representation with presence, access with accessus, and convenience with devotion.
