In undertaking the new evangelization, the Church takes advantage of sources of mass communication. The Church’s teachings reveal the good and the bad sides of the mass media, but at the same time encourage the priests and the faithful to actively include the mass media into the Church’s mission. In particular, the Catholic mass media serve in the evangelization of the world. One can say that they constitute a new modern pulpit. This study points to publications, radio and television. The usage of mass media demands courage and creativity on the part of the faithful. The ideas of the Church Magisterium demand dynamic use of these tools. This applies to mass media outlets specifically designated as “Catholic” as well as all sort of activities undertaken in programs in the public and private media. The Church’s teachings in the mass media are backed up with canonical regulations. In the last decades, the world of media has changed dynamically. The Church and all of the faithful should closely follow the changes taking place in order to adjust the mission of evangelization to them, that is, to consistently reveal, through the mass media, the face of Christ and His message of salvation.
