Today Pope Benedict XVI addressed the Catholic Press Congress about the challenges facing Catholic journalism. "Catholic journalists must seek the truth with impassioned minds and hearts," he said, "but also with the professionalism of competent workers equipped with adequate and efficient means."
He spoke about new media, according to the Catholic News Service, saying that while it could help spread information, often it was focused on attention-grabbing images and made little or no attempt to help people understand what is happening or what it means for their lives.
