About the Commentaries...
With the wide variety of media within the Diocese of Pittsburgh
reporting and commenting on Church-related issues, it is often
difficult for the Church itself to have its voice heard and
its positions explained to the public, including both the
Catholic population and the wider population. Relying on media
to accurately represent Church positions, or to present the
Church’s position at all, can be problematic, no matter
what information the Diocese provides through news releases,
the diocesan spokesman, or other resources.
The Church position is always filtered and edited through
the prism and agenda of secular media. At the same time, there
is the need for immediacy – to get our message out as
soon as possible. While the Pittsburgh Catholic is an important
voice in getting this message out, it does not reach the wider
non-Catholic public. Also, by its nature as a weekly newspaper,
it lacks the ability for an immediate response.
This message is regular commentary based on editorials within
the Pittsburgh Catholic or one responding to a specific event
or coverage that took place that week. These messages will
be sponsored by, and identified with, the Pittsburgh Catholic,
although the Diocese’s communications committee will
develop the content.
