The man as a social being functioning simultaneously in different communities. One of them consists of churches and religious associations that have the right to establish and hold their own the mass media.

Due to the number of people declared Catholics, the Catholic mass media have the greatest impact. The possibility of the establishment and ownership of the mass media by a duly organized various social groups is a manifestation of pluralism and guarantee of democracy. Democratic system, based on the respect for human rights and liberties in its individual and collective dimension, presupposes freedom of expression and freedom of the press, allowing each person the freedom to express their opinions, to acquire and disseminate information on every topic. Their viewers and listeners may not agree with them, but their existence testifies to the freedom of expression and freedom of the press, without which there can be no question of the existence and development of a fully democratic state and civil society.
