Media i Kościół: środowisko życia ludzi młodych we wskazaniach Jana Pawła II sformułowanych w kontekście początków Światowych Dni Młodzieży

On 1985, for the 19th World Communications Day, the pope John Paul II promulgated the message Social Communications for a Christian Promotion of Youth. This pontifical document echoed the initiative of the United Nations, which has proclaimed 1985 year as the International Year of Youth. But, and perhaps it is more important, not only chronologically this document coincides with such papal initiatives for young people like the origins of the World Youth Days. As for the technological development and the growing importance of the media since 1985 it accomplished very much. We are then faced with a promising prospect which creates specific conditions for the reading of the thoughts of John Paul II when it comes to the media as part of modern civilization in conjunction with the potential proper to Christianity and the mission of support for young people.
