CATHOLIC MEDIA HOUSE LAUNCH
A brand new website has been launched called Catholic Media House to assist bishops, pastors, priests, catechists, youth directors, and teachers/instructors by providing multimedia resources for the New Evangelization.The different types of media offered for download are mini-movies, motion and still backgrounds, countdowns on various topics of all varieties and can be used in presentations "to re-evangelize the baptized, disciple and mobilize them for evangelization and to be a blessing".Catholic Media House is also a great platform for producers of media to have their
resources in a central visible and easily accessible location.
I have been asked to publicise this new resource; it seems quite pretty, although is American and pricey, but do go see what you think: Click on the link in the title above.
The site seems to talk a lot about using these visual media forms as part of a 'service'. This sounds a bit strange; I'm not sure what to think about using this kind of thing as part of the liturgy.
Thanks so much for the coverage. Just to clarify, the media is not intended to be used in the sacred liturgy of the Mass. It is more intended to be used in other types of settings such as RCIA, catechesis, faith formation classes, youth meetings and rallys, evangelistic services and the like. If any media was to be used as part of the sacred liturgy it would need to be used very selectively and is to be an enhancement and not a gimmick or distraction. I hope this clears this up, thanks again.
