Cultural Forum
CANCELLED FEBRUARY 27th: A Catholic Vision of Culture in the 21st Century | West Suburban Catholic Culture Series
Butterfield Country Club 2800 Midwest Rd, Oak Brook, IL, United StatesAs the Church has faced struggles in recent years, Pope Francis has repeatedly emphasized the role that journalists can play in the reform and renewal of the Church. But the mission of Catholics journalists is not always clear: they face the prophetic call of truth, and, at the same time, the common Christian vocation of the Great Commission. Can those work together? Can journalism be a form of evangelization? And can the Catholic Church teach the press something about the vocation of truth-telling in a polarized world? Reflecting on the work of Catholic journalism amid the Church's challenges, Pillar editor JD Flynn considers those questions.
