Summary
In 1861, the Vatican began publishing L’Osservatore Romano as its primary newspaper. In contrast to traditional media outlets, it also communicates through Vatican Radio, which started broadcasting in 1931. Among all Catholic media, radio is seen as most aligned with the Church’s mission and divine purpose due to God’s communication methods. According to Catholic tradition, God speaks first before writing, exemplified by the oral transmission of stories in the Bible and Gospels. The article emphasizes the importance of hearing over sight, aligning God’s message closely with what Saint Paul describes as faith coming from hearing. This is further reinforced by the notion that an all-powerful appearance would hinder personal faith acceptance, highlighting God’s preference for gentle communication through radio. Radio allows people to tune in and focus on God’s message amidst background noise, promoting attentive listening and choice.
