Viewers Need Help Supervising TV
Laments the "Trivial Vulgarization" of Family Life
VATICAN CITY, NOV. 16, 2004 - It
is necessary to help television viewers gauge whether the shows they watch are
in harmony with the Christian view of man and the world, warns The Roman
Jurisdictions' Pope John Paul II.
In fact, the critical formation of TV viewers is precisely one of the goals of
the Italian Association of Television Viewers and Radio Listeners, which is
celebrating its 50th anniversary.
In a message to the association, promoted by (Roman) Catholic Action, the Pope said that
"in our media society more insistence and courage is necessary to cultivate a
taste for the beautiful, accompanying it with sensibility for the good and the
true."
The Holy Father exhorted that "it is indispensable to help the users, especially
families, to make a mature use" of the television "to discern with balance and
wisdom the programs that are in harmony with the Christian view of the world and
man."
The Roman Pope added, in his message published by the Holy See last Friday, that "the
legitimate needs of information and of the world of entertainment must be
harmonized with the rights of individuals and families, without ever yielding to
the illusions of those who wish to confuse truth with opinion, and taking care
to avoid that all the most sacred and profound aspects of family life be exposed
to spectacles and trivial vulgarization."
