Home · Pope calls on media to promote ethics |Praised be Jesus Christ|Laudetur Iesus Christus| Pope calls on media to promote ethicsRoman Catholic head Pope Benedict XVI has urged the international media to use its position to “promote the dignity of human beings”. He acknowledged the media’s power in influencing ethical issues, and called on the industry to ensure it did not promote vulgarity and violence to legitimise “distorted models of life”. The Pope called for an establishment of “info-ethics”, which should take a central role just as bio-ethics is a major consideration in medical and biological research areas. Pope Benedict rebuked the media industry for often using vulgarity and violence, but also praised it for helping to spread democracy and promote dialogue. Reports have stated that the Vatican has frequently pointed the finger at the media for its lack of morals in promoting consumerism and “unethical lifestyles”, such as pre-marital sex and homosexuality. The Roman Catholic head issued a three-page document saying, “When communication loses its ethical underpinning and eludes society's control, it ends up no longer taking into account the centrality and inviolable dignity of the human being. “While claiming to represent reality, it can tend to legitimise or impose distorted models of personal, family or social life.” His message, which is for the Catholic Church's World Communications Day on 4 May, added: “Moreover, in order to attract listeners and increase the size of audiences, it does not hesitate at times to have recourse to vulgarity and violence, and to overstep the mark.”28.01.2008. 10:55 This article hasn't been commented yet. |
Prayer for All the Deceased
By Thy resurrection from the dead, O Christ, death no longer hath dominion over those who die in holiness. So, we beseech Thee, give rest to Thy servants in Thy sanctuary and in Abraham's bosom. Grant it to those, who from Adam until now have adored Thee with purity, to our fathers and brothers, to our kinsmen and friends, to all men who have lived by faith and passed on their road to Thee, by a thousand ways, and in all conditions, and make them worthy of the heavenly kingdom.
Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen. |Letter of St. James|
