Transmission of the faith of the Church and Modern Media
Transmission of the faith of the Church and Modern Media

Summary/Abstract: Dechristianization is a new, yet fast progressing, phenomenon. It brings a set of challenges which should not be ignored, which essentially amount to questioning the right of the Church, which possesses the truth of Christ Himself, to teach in this truth. It is questioned whether the Church teaches really what Christ taught or whether it lives according to what it teaches. We can observe that pagan reaction to the Church wreaks great havoc. Mass media both strengthen and trigger this reaction. A contemporary man is becoming a witness of a dramatic turn, occurring not only in the society, but primarily in the realm of values. A community as a place where faith is transmitted constitutes an important element of the human formation. It is worth pointing out that a person as a social being develops their human qualities living in a community. Therefore it is recommendable to create community mechanisms in the media sector so as to enable the transmission of the faith within the community. The media are and should be included in the transmission of the faith. They will play a significant role in building the faith in Jesus Christ in the world.
