Decree On the Means of Social Communication, Inter Mirifica
Author: Second Vatican Council
DECREE ON THE MEANS OF SOCIAL COMMUNICATIONS
INTER MIRIFICA
SOLEMNLY PROMULGATED BY
HIS HOLINESS POPE PAUL VI
ON DECEMBER 4, 1963
INTRODUCTION
-
Among the wonderful technological discoveries which men of talent, especially in the present era, have made with God's help, the Church welcomes and promotes with special interest those which have a most direct relation to men's minds and which have uncovered new avenues of communicating most readily news, views and teachings of every sort. The most important of these inventions are those media which, such as the press, movies, radio, television and the like, can, of their very nature, reach and influence, not only individuals, but the very masses and the whole of human society, and thus can rightly be called the media of social communication.
-
The Church recognizes that these media, if properly utilized, can be of great service to mankind, since they greatly contribute to men's entertainment and instruction as well as to the spread and support of the Kingdom of God. The Church recognizes, too, that men can employ these media contrary to the plan of the Creator and to their own loss. Indeed, the Church experiences maternal grief at the harm all too often done to society by their evil use. Hence, this sacred Synod, attentive to the watchful concern manifested by the Supreme Pontiffs and Bishops in a matter of such great importance, judges it to be its duty to treat of the principal questions linked with the media of social communication. It trusts, moreover, that the teaching and regulations it thus sets forth will serve to promote, not only the eternal welfare of Christians, but also the progress of all mankind.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch joined dozens of prominent Southern California Catholics who were awarded a papal knighthood on Sunday for their contributions to church institutions.
Cardinal Roger Mahony inducted about 60 people into the Order of St. Gregory the Great - men were installed as Knights of St. Gregory while women were named Dames of St. Gregory, the female equivalent of a knighthood.
About 500 people packed the pews of St. Francis de Sales Church in Sherman Oaks to witness the solemn, 90-minute ceremony.
Murdoch and his wife, Anna, both smiled as Mahony presented them with a cross medallion, the emblem of the Order of St. Gregory the Great.
Actor Ricardo Montalban, who starred in the 1970s television series "Fantasy Island" was among those receiving the honour.
Sixty-seven people were inducted into the Order of St. Gregory the Great - the largest group ever inducted in a single year from Los Angeles, which has the largest population in the United States.
The pope bestows the honour on those with "unblemished character" who have promoted the interest of society, the Catholic Church and the Vatican.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Rupert: "I thought it was very spiritual and very moving. I was very impressed by what the cardinal said."
Anna: "I think it was very humbling. We're both trying to get through the eye of the needle. Perhaps this is the beginning."
SUPER CAPTION: Rupert and Anna Murdoch
The church has however received criticism from some quarters for Murdoch's inclusion on the honour list.
The non-Catholic chairman of News Corporation is best known as the newspaper owner who features topless women in his British tabloids.
Murdoch was cited for his donations to a church education foundation.
