Mass Media and the Clergy
The Pope in his message for the 44th world communication day reiterate that the priest and the religious clergy should try to deal with the advancement of modern means I order for them to catch the attention of the young people of today. It is because of the fact that young generation of today are so in touch with these modern means and the task of the priest today is to get the attention of the people through media particularly the youth of today who are the most affected by these modern means.
This leads me however, to the realizations of the proper use of mass media and my responsibility to my fellow brethren. Here in the seminary we are given an opportunity to enrich our capacity on mass media or to be more literate in using the means of communications. Being literate means using the media in one’s advantages. I addition being literate is sharing one’s knowledge to one’s brethren. So in that way people will be facilitated in using these modern means and avoid the tendency of automaticity that leads us to be more inhuman.
