Blessed Pope Paul VI.
Introduction
• 2. A follow up, expansion and update of Inter

Instruction was published in 1992.
• 4. In 2005, Blessed John Paul II wrote his final
apostolic letter, The Rapid Development, on the
topic of social communications
Introduction
• Aetatis Novae (AN) declared that the Church
has an obligation to use the social media.
• “Along with traditional means such as
witness of life, catechetics, personal contact,
the liturgy & similar celebrations, the use of
media is now essential in evangelization &
catechesis”. (AN 11)
Introduction
• Modern means of communication are being
included in Jesus Christ teaching to share the
Faith with all the world - Matthew 28:18
• Indeed, ‘the Church would feel guilty before
the Lord if she did not utilize these powerful
means that human skill is daily rendering
more perfect’.” (AN, 11) .
What is Social Communication?
• Social Communication is a relatively new term
that has emerged over the last decade or so.
• Not a ‘new’ concept –only renaming/rebranding.
• A regrouping and re-categorizing previously
known concepts of social interaction, social skills,
communication or communication skills &
language or language skills.
What is
Social Communication?
• The behaviors of interaction, social skills &
communication and language overlap to result
in one’s ability to communicate socially.
• Therefore, it’s called Social Communication.
• Learning to connect – The What, the How and
Why.
What is Social
Communication?
•
Pope Francis: SC is for bringing
others to Christ.
• We must examine if the communications of
the Church are helping others to meet Christ.
• The challenge is to rediscover, through the
means of social communication as well as by
personal contact, the beauty of our existence
and our journey, the beauty of faith and of the
encounter with Christ. – Pope Francis.
Pope message on 48th
World communication Day
• “Media can help us greatly, the internet, in
particular, offers immense possibilities for
encounter and solidarity. This is something truly
good, a gift from God.”
• It’s not enough to be passersby on the streets and
digital highways of our world: Be the Good
Samaritan, by reaching out to their neighbour
through social media
Pope message on
Social communication
• “How can we be ‘neighbourly’ in our use of the
communications media in the new digital
environment ?
• The answer is in the parable of the Good
Samaritan- a parable about communication.
• Those who communicate become neighbours.
Pope message on
Social communication
• The Good Samaritan not only draws nearer to
the man he finds half dead on the road side;
he takes responsibility for him.
• Communication is really about realizing that
we are all human beings, children of God.
• I see this power of communication as
“neighbourliness”. – Pope Francis.
