Church toward Social Media

Abstract

The Church tells the world a message of Salvation and thus it is a "medium" itself; it approves of all traditional and modern social media such as film, radio and television in particular. All these media, however, must follow the moral principles both in their contents and form.

Social media contribute to the progress of the Mankind, community spirit and evangelization of the world. The Apostolic See recommends to use social media in the Church activities including the pastoral care for migrants. The Church communities should aim at better human communication. Thus, the formation of both the receiver and the sender appears to be necessary.
