Vatican City, February 22, 2002, John P. Foley, President Pierfranco Pastore, Secretary |
| To Church Leaders: People in leadership
positions in all sectors of the Church need to understand the media, apply
this understanding in formulating pastoral plans for social communications
together with concrete policies and programs in this area, and make appropriate
use of media. Where necessary, they should receive media education themselves;
in fact, "the Church would be well served if more of those who hold
offices and perform functions in her name received communication training". |
This applies to the Internet as well as to the older media. Church leaders are obliged to use "the full potential of the 'computer age' to serve the human and transcendent vocation of every person, and thus to give glory to the Father from whom all good things come". They ought to employ this remarkable technology in many different aspects of the Church's mission, while also exploring opportunities for ecumenical and interreligious cooperation in its use. |
| To Pastoral Personnel: Priests, deacons,
religious, and lay pastoral workers should have media education to increase
their understanding of the impact of social communications on individuals
and society and help them acquire a manner of communicating that speaks
to the sensibilities and interests of people in a media culture. Today
this clearly includes training regarding the Internet, including how to
use it in their work. They can also profit from websites offering theological
updating and pastoral suggestions. |
As for Church personnel directly involved in media, it hardly needs saying that they must have professional training. But they also need doctrinal and spiritual formation, since "in order to witness to Christ it is necessary to encounter him oneself and foster a personal relationship with him through prayer, the Eucharist and sacramental reconciliation, reading and reflection on God's word, the study of Christian doctrine, and service to others". |
