Beyond the Noise

Bishop Louis Tylka says modern communication technology often creates a sense of profound disconnection and loneliness despite providing constant access to information. Writing for L'Osservatore Romano, Tylka notes that while devices allow people to reach others instantly, they can also create echo chambers that deepen social divisions and anxiety.

Tylka points to Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen as an example of how to use media effectively. Sheen used radio and television programs such as The Catholic Hour and Life Is Worth Living to speak about topics including God, human nature, marriage, and eternity.
