摘要
This study critically examines the compatibility of virtual reality and the sacred, challenging the assumption that VR can mediate divine presence and facilitate liturgical participation. It argues that even if VR accommodates both divine and bodily presence, it renders the rite ineffective, as true efficacy requires enactment within a consecrated, embodied space. Drawing on sacramental theology and participatory ontology, it distinguishes between divine presence and sacred space, asserting that VR cannot be consecrated. Ultimately, the study contends that the acceptance of sacred VR stems from a cultural shift toward total immanence, leading to the naturalization of the sacred.
