The Rapid Development
The Rapid Development (''Il Rapido Sviluppo'') is an apostolic letter written by Pope John Paul II in 2005 to those who are involved in communications. He wrote the letter on January 24, the feast day of Saint Francis de Sales, Patron Saint of Journalists. Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 1963 decree ''Inter Mirifica'' ("The Means of Social Communication"), Pope John Paul II writes about how the message found in ''Inter Mirifica'' is strengthened by the development of technical inventions. The Jesuit magazine ''America'' referred to the document as "the most authoritative papal statement on the church and communications in nearly 50 years", and aims to make the Church pay "attention to the culture created by communications media".
The document suggests that the internet provides an opportunity for the Church, not just a danger. New communications have helped create a "global village", and the faithful need to take advantage of its possibilities but use them "ethically and responsibly". Proper communication is a moral act, and Christ is an example of a communicator who used all the means available to him to spread the gospel: "The media aid the Church in spreading the Gospel and religious values, promoting dialogue and cooperation, and defending the moral and ethical principles" of the Church, according to John Fagan's summary.
==Background==
Pope John Paul II was always fascinated by the mass media and used them, especially in his numerous trips around the world, to enhance the image of the Church; French philosopher Jacques Derrida referred to the pope's journeys as " a hegemonic form of testimony and confession". ''The Rapid Development'' should be seen, according to Warren Kappeler, as documentation of the pope's interest in mass media and as an attempt to cause the Church to reflect on its importance and its possibilities. The importance of the media to promulgating the message of the Church was seen by John Paul II's successor as well, as noted by Cardinal John Patrick Foley, then President of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications: Foley "noted that the last major document of Pope John Paul II...was on the theme of communications, and one of the first audiences given by Pope Benedict XVI was to the communicators who has () covered the funeral of Pope John Paul II and his own election and beginning days as pope".
