MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
OF THE PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR SOCIAL COMMUNICATIONS
TO THE READERS OF ZENIT
The Pontifical Council for Social Communications is pleased to cooperate
with the ZENIT news agency in an initiative that is a big part of the reason
for being of the RIIAL
(Digital Network of the Church in Latin America). The
clergy of the people of God connected to the same have expressed with
insistence the desire, totally assumed by our pontifical council, to dispose
of the pontifical texts and documents in their integrity, and immediately
after their publication in Vatican City.
In this way, a service is born that desires to cover a heartfelt necessity
of the Spanish-speaking world. We hope that with this effort we are able to
make these documents available in a timely and efficient manner.
+ John P. Foley
President of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications
