The 21st-century advances in communication technologies have ushered in a new era of social relations characterized by instantaneous connections across all times and places. This process has implications for personal relationships with religion, as well as ethical challenges in the use of these new technologies. Undergoing a renewal process in the 20th century, Catholic Moral Theology seeks to promote reflection that can qualify the actions of the faithful, increasingly immersed in digital contexts. The objective of this study is to explore, from the perspective of Theological Ethics, how the problem of fake news can be adressed for a good experience in digital environments. The method used in this work is bibliographic research based on authors who deal with the characteristics of the digital world, especially Pierre Lévy, as well as authors who deal with Catholic morals, mainly using Pope Francis' teaching on discernment and fake news. Contemporary moral theology can participate in public debate and collaborate to ensure that the use of social networks is not marked by falsehood and manipulation, but by truth, unity, and care for the human person, categories presented by Pope Francis that indicate a valuable and valid path in overcoming fake news. For this, it is necessary to form a conscience in constant discernment, which allows the community of faith to examine itself and determine what steps could be taken to promote a more fraternal world, both within and outside digital networks
