• W2595784523 abstract "In June 2012, Pontifical Council for Social Communication, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Santa Clara University invited me to present a paper at a symposium on Theology and Communication. Thinking that I might know something about Bishops Conferences and having been media spokesman in Sydney for some 17 years I put together a paper entitled Episcopal Conference in Communications Marketplace: Issues and Challenges for Catholic Identity and Ecclesiology. (1) This sent me to Australian Catholic Bishops Conference Archives and where I quickly became absorbed in reading minutes of Bishops' Plenary Meetings and especially reports of Committee for Media. What I stumbled across in those papers is today's story. Essentially it is a story about problems bishops faced in agreeing to set up a national media office, something which many people would have thought was self-evident. Bishops Conferences have a role in national media but Australian Bishops have never really faced challenge or made most of opportunity. Making local regulations for church involvement in radio and television is one of few areas of competence that Second Vatican Council and later Code of Canon Law, gave to Bishops Conferences. (2) Obviously wide coverage of electronic media stretches beyond diocesan boundaries. It follows that Bishops Conference should be instrumentality to regulate participation by Church personnel in those media. This is easier said than done. The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference declined to make any regulations at time it prepared its Complementary Norms following promulgation of new Code of Canon Law in 1983. In 1995 it again considered matter and adopted recommendation of Bishops Committee for Media: (3) ... not to establish a set of norms for clerics and religious to take part in radio and television programmes which concern Catholic doctrine or morals as such norms would be impossible to implement and would be interpreted by some as an unacceptable form of censorship. As a consequence, presentation of Catholic position on some issue, in traditional electronic media, and more recently with new forms of social media, is generally unregulated and largely out of control of bishops who are ultimately responsible for safeguarding faith. This assumes, of course, that there is some settled Catholic position. There are, as you would expect, different views about this. Some like things to be neat and tidy and they are solidly behind episcopal control. They want bishops to say something about everything. Others, of course, are quite content with allowing anyone to say anything. In reality issue of who does speak for Church and who should speak for Church is quite complex. The media will always make their own choices about who will represent Church. In matters of significant public controversy media will look for commentators to present divergent opinions. Conflict is at heart of what is usually newsworthy. Media may want something official and for them that usually means bishops, or at least a cleric. They will set that against other dissenting views, usually of other high profile clergy, or, preferably for some, former clergy, or other religious or lay commentators. Some might recall former Treasurer Peter Costello's comment about the Church of Bishops and Church of Jesuits. As well as tension between respective roles of hierarchy and lay experts and other commentators, another problem that must be faced is divergent views that may exist within hierarchy itself. How do we manage to present a clear Catholic identity even when those who are most visibly associated with Church, bishops, are themselves not of one mind on a particular matter? …" @default.
