Canon 652

1. Eparchial bishops are to see that with the help of institutes of social communication the Christian faithful are taught

to use the media critically and advantageously; they are to foster cooperation among such institutes, see to the formation of

experts, and finally, promote good initiatives, praising and

blessing in the first place good books, a policy that is more

efficacious than the censure and condemnation of evil. 2. For

the safeguarding of the integrity of faith and morals, the eparchial bishop, the synod of bishops of the patriarchal Church, the

council of hierarchs, and the Apostolic See are competent to forbid the Christian faithful to use or to pass on to others means

of social communication, to the extent that these are detrimental

to that same integrity.
