A Respect for Freedom and a
Rigorous Professional Ethical Code
"Paulines
are to observe a rigorous professional code of
ethics in the carrying out of their particular
apostolate (media ministry). They are to respect
the freedom of readers, viewers and listeners, to
steer clear of undue forms of pressure and the
manipulation of truth. Theirs is to be a
fraternal and impartial service, a service that
repulses the temptation to tranform these
formidable media into instruments of power."
Constitutions
of the Society of St. Paul art 75.

 The Children of
the world deserve
our protection.

A responsible
use of Media:
"All who, of their own free choice,
make use of communications as readers, viewers,
or listeners have special obligations. For a
proper choice demands that they fully favor those
presentations, that are outstanding for their
moral goodness, their knowledge and their
artistic or technical merit."
Vatican II's
Decree on the Media of Social
Communications" Par 9.
