On this Day, December 4, 1963, the Church defined what it meant by Social Communication. Ergo, the Decree on the Media of Social Communications, Inter Mirifica” was voted upon ending with a sound Yay over the nays; and the path that led for New Evangelization to be born was made. This was truly a milestone, for this was the first time the Church had defined what it understood social communications to mean. For an Ecumenical Council to speak of Social Communications as tools for the fundamental mission of the Church was indeed timely in that it madepossiblea relatively unhindered implementation of these tools of evangelisation - in the service of the Church - with which to proclaim the Gospel, the Good News, in a rapidly-expanding and rapidly-diversifying world of mass-media. From this moment on, social communications officially became part of the Catholic Church’s programme of outreach and teaching.
