Briefly

The article reflects on Pope Leo XIV's inaugural address, which stresses the critical role of journalism in addressing societal issues. He emphasizes that journalists must not remain detached observers but instead actively contribute to shaping society. By invoking Saint Augustine's philosophy, he highlights the interconnectedness of moral and social conditions with journalistic integrity and courage. This message serves as a reminder that the actions of journalists can influence public perception and the moral fabric of society, urging them to live purposefully and responsibly in these challenging times.
"We are living in times that are both difficult to navigate and to recount. They present a challenge for all of us but it is one that we should not run away from."
"The Church must face the challenges posed by the times. In the same way, communication and journalism do not exist outside of time and history."
