Patroness     Flyer     Professional Seminar May 2-4, 2023

The School’s program offers students solid, systematic courses in four key areas:

  • The nature of communication and the elements upon which it is based. This includes the processes of shaping public opinion, the structure of information-based entities and the language of the traditional means of communication (radio, tv, press), as well as the new technology-based media.
  • The Church in cultural context. The Church presents its message and incarnates the faith in an ongoing dialogue with men, women and cultures. This area investigates of how Christianity has developed and expressed its message over the centuries, transforming it into a catalyst of cultural change.
  • The theological, philosophical and canonical content of the faith and its impact on the identity of the Church as an Institution.
  • The application of these theories, practices and communication techniques to institutions of the Church, bearing in mind their particular identity. Special emphasis is given to how communication offices are organized, methods of communicating with the various interlocutors of the Church and the presentation of the content of the faith in the field of public opinion.

The journal of the School of Church Communications, Church Communication & Culture, becomes part of the “Scopus”, prestigious database that brings together summaries and citations of articles from academic journals submitted to the peer review process.

"It is good news, it will certainly give more visibility to the journal and will attract the interest of academics, increasing the requests for publication of articles," commented prof. Enrique Fuster, of the Editorial Committee.
