Papa Communicators

Pope to Communicators: "to communicate is not only to go out, but also to meet the other".

At the first major event of the 2025 Jubilee in Rome, Pope Francis again exhorted his well-known "culture of encounter" to thousands of communications professionals from around the world in the Aula Paolo VI. "To communicate is to go out of oneself a little in order to give what is mine to the other. And to communicate is not only to go out, but also to meet the other. Knowing how to communicate is a great wisdom, a great wisdom!"
