Mass media as object of evangelization in theological perspective of apostolic exhortation Evangelii gaudium

Jaroslaw Krzewicki ; Papinsko sveučilište Svetog Križa Rim

Abstract

The author approaches the means of social communication from the perspective of evangelization, since they not only convey the message but through them people meet each other. The author holds that these media, though not without dangers to modern man because they lead him to ever greater alienation, are not guilty of themselves, because man is always the one who uses them. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce evangelization even in the means of social communication, which is nothing but a permanent call to conversion, both to the Church as a whole and to every single Christian. This call includes awareness of the mission of proclaiming the Good News also in the new area created by the new means of social communication, on the so called “digital continent”. The amount of success of the mission will depend on the amount of joy and life witnessing invested by the Christians on this new “continent”.
