Media is an overwhelming reality in the lives of people nowadays. It is a very strong force that easily penetrate and influence human mind. In this article of Pope Benedict XVI, the priest and the pastoral ministry are called to make use of these “new media at the service of the Word. With this, it can be very helpful tool in propagating and promoting the Good news to the world by this new product of man’s progress. using and availing this new technology especially in spreading God’s word is also a sign of the openness of the Church in new possibilities of faster and widened coverage of media for gospel proclamation throughout the world.
Looking at media in positive approach it is indeed a great advantage to those missionary religious priest and lay because by means of media they can contact each other and can save time, energy and money in the mission. Moreover, by the presence of priests and pastoral ministries in digital world, it could establish somehow moderation and minimize abuses in it. I can say that through the presence of the Church in media, many people will not be misled. It is nice to see that the Church is always to the rescue and unceasing reminding the people in everyday about the proper way to live life.
