However, the emphasis was put in different ways: from the struggle against reading wrong publications (until the Vatican Council II) to utter affirmation of reading Catholic publications. Reading Catholic publications influences a man’s integral formation: human, spiritual, moral and doctrinal. Contact with the written word plays an important role in the process of transmitting and intensifying the faith (EN 42). Moreover, it helps form a community. The Holy Scripture takes a special place in the formation process. It is a peculiar way of transmitting faith to us, since Christ as the talking one is present in it. Communication with Christ through books is a true communion with Him - the Giver of faith, hope and love. Communion with Christ leads the reader to cognition of the truth that liberates him.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/formacjaformacja religijnaczytelnictwoczytelnictwo religijneczytelnictwo Pisma Świętegomassmediologia teologicznamassmediologiapublikacje katolickiePismo ŚwięteBibliaformationreligious formationreadingreligious readingreading the Holy Scripturestheological science of mass mediamassmediologyCatholic publicationsBiblemass mediaśrodki masowego przekazuformacyjne zadania czytelnictwazadania czytelnictwaformative tasks of readingtasks of readingArticle
