“We celebrate the blessings of speech, of hearing, of sight .
. . in order to exchange with those around us the thoughts
and sentiments which arise in our hearts.
We celebrate the gifts of writing and reading, by which the
wisdom of ancestors is placed at our disposal and our own
experience and reflection are passed on to the generations
that follow us.
‘The marvels of technology which God has destined human
genius to discover’ (Inter-Mirifica, 1) . . inventions which
have immeasurably increased and extended the range over
which communications may carry and have amplified the
volume of our voice..”

FABC 7th Plenary: Church and
Social Communication in Asia
by: Fr. Christian B. Buenafe, O. Carm
If Christians want
to be light and salt
of the earth in the
arena of media,
what can we do?
Media is the strongest
man-made
force that can
influence
people.
It has the power to
condition people with
false needs and
mistaken life models.
Media has been
the principal
mediator of reality
for man.
Media from means
(Paul VI)
