CHAPTER III

THE ACTIVE COMMITMENT OF CATHOLICS IN THE DIFFERENT MEDIA

135. We have considered what should be the right approach of dedicated Catholic communicators towards their work, ⁶² an approach shared by colleagues, whatever the nature of their beliefs. For the Catholic, his faith provides an extra incentive.

Then we dealt with the special duties of communicators who work as Catholics. In this we confined ourselves to general discussion, without dealing with the media one by one. ⁶³ Here we deal with the duties of Catholic communicators in each separate medium of social communication. These are duties that affect anyone who appears in the name of the Church, whether he appears in media that are officially Catholic or as a spokesman in some uncommitted institution that opens its facilities to the expression of a Catholic point of view.
