"The Pope’s confidence in the possibilities of the media is apparent", adds mgr. Celli, who thinks "the media can greatly help promote a climate of dialogue and trust. Emphasising the fact the new media must match the new relations means touching deeply into the relation on which communication lives and grows; the updating of the media is not just a technical step forward but also creates new conditions and possibilities for man to use and invest such resources for the common good and build a wide, extensive cultural growth onto them". After announcing the subject of next year’s message, what will the Papal Council for Communication do? “It will take most seriously what the Pope invites us to do answers mgr. Celli . That’s why in March next year, we have planned to meet the bishops in charge of communication at a workshop, jointly organised with university professors who are experts in media and communication, so as to develop a more accurate and modern pastoral of social communication”.
