Ethics in Communications, June 2, 2000

Briljant stuk van het Vaticaan uit 2000 over de inzet van sociale media. Het geeft helder de morele waarden en keuzes aan die je als goed katholiek moet volgen en maken. Ik citeer de slotalinea:

"Jesus is the model and the standard of our communicating. For those involved in social communication, whether as policy makers or professional communicators or recipients or in any other role, the conclusion is clear: "Therefore, putting away falsehood, let every one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another... Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear" (Eph 4:25,29). Serving the human person, building up human community grounded in solidarity and justice and love, and speaking the truth about human life and its final fulfillment in God were, are, and will remain at the heart of ethics in the media."
