===Chapter One: On the Teaching of the Church (#3β12)=== # The authors of ''Inter mirifica'' state that it is within the Church's birthright to use the means of social communication to the pursuit of preaching the gospel and of salvation.<ref>''Inter mirifica'', #3</ref> # There are three questions of morality within social communications that the authors of the decree look at: ## The media has an obligation to provide correct, honest, and accurate news, as the Council believes that access to information, in relation to their circumstances, is a human right.<ref>''Inter mirifica'', #5</ref> ## There is a question of morality in the news. The Council insists that news may only be effectively delivered if the information provided is of a true moral order.<ref>''Inter mirifica'', #6</ref> ## While the Council states that at times information can be harmful as long as it is more profitable than harmful, it is necessary for said news to be heard.<ref>''Inter mirifica'', #7</ref> # There is also a responsibility that lays upon different groups of people to ensure that what they are allowing themselves to listen to, watch, etc. is of good and sound morality. There is the obligation of the listener to avoid social communications that would cause "spiritual harm".<ref>''Inter mirifica'', #9</ref> There is also the problem of youth, and ensuring that they receive information from social communications in moderation and under the supervision of teachers, parents, etc. Youth should be going to these educators with questions, but the educators should also be diligent in ensuring that what the youth are listening to are too of high morality.<ref>''Inter mirifica'', #10</ref>
