I didn't expect to be promoting the thoughts of Pope Benedict but a Jesuit friend (yes, that is possible!) has sent me the following, which seems reasonably helpful to me, at least by comparison with Pope B's thoughts on contraception and homosexuality:
"The relationship of children, media, and education can be considered from two perspectives: the formation of children by the media; and the formation of children to respond appropriately to the media.
A kind of reciprocity emerges which points to the responsibilities of the media as an industry and to the need for active and critical participation of readers, viewers and listeners.
Within this framework, training in the proper use of the media is essential for the cultural, moral and spiritual development of children.
Media education should be positive. Children exposed to what is aesthetically and morally excellent are helped to develop appreciation, prudence and the skills of discernment."
Pope Benedict XVI - World Communications Day, May 2007
