Truth, Fake News, and Becoming Peacemakers

Truth, Fake News, and Becoming Peacemakers

Sister Hosea Rupprecht wrote a wonderful article on Pope Francis' World Communications Day Message for 2018. (You can read Pope Francis' entire message here.) She comments on many of the same points that I do in my post on my media spirituality blog here, even quoting some of the same passages. 

In a society where many people ask the same question as Pilate asked of Jesus, "What is truth?", this message stands out for its unabashed defense of the existence of truth, and the importance of living the Truth in our daily lives. Three short paragraphs of Pope Francis' Message really impressed me with how he speaks of the truth in this context of fake news. I prayed with these paragraphs line-by-line, and I'd like to share the insights and questions they raised for me, here with you.
