Abstract | The decree Inter mirifica was promulgated in 1963 and is the starting point of a series of official texts trying to define a Catholic outlook on the topic of media communication. The text does not sufficiently define the question itself and sounds rather anxious about a changing society that is adapting to technological progress and challenging the Church with the need for transparent communication in the public sphere, a requirement which is at the very core of democracy. In the context of the entire list of its documents Vatican II already puts into perspective a missed opportunity to seriously engage with the world of media and prepare the structures of more professional communication. Serious thought must be devoted to the media and promoted as a driving force of modernisation and democratisation with a growing awareness of the importance of the means of expression for the credibility of the content of the message. This is particularly true for the religions of the Book as their history is closely related to the evolution of communication techniques: oral and written, in texts and images, analog and digital. |
