(ANSA) - VATICAN CITY, JUN 18 - Information must be clean, honest, complete.
This is what Pope Francis hopes, who today has returned to stigmatize the world of fakenews.
He did so in a meeting with the Paulines, religious who have communication as their charism.
"If we take up today's media - Bergoglio said - there is no cleanliness, no honesty, no completeness. Information-information is on the agenda: one thing is said but many others are hidden".
The Pontiff instead hopes for a "clear and clear" communication and in the case of religious editors of many periodicals, including Famiglia Cristiana, "witnessed with one's own life".
Francis, who also on various occasions has shown esteem and respect for the world of journalism, underlined the need to "redeem communication from the state it is in today, in the hands of a whole world of communication which either says half or a part slanders it. other, or one party defames the other, or one party on the tray offers scandals because people like to eat scandals, that is, eat filth. Isn't that right?
If it follows these patterns, communication "becomes an indigestible, dirty, not clean meal".
