laying any condition. When we think of
our relationship with God our attitudegrows in proportion to the climate of love.When we grow in our realization that how
much God loves us then our trust in Godmatures and becomes a predominantfactor in our daily living. When we
experience how much God cares for us and how much werealize his loving embrace then we become more serene.
Our attitude of trust in God also characterizes ourrelationships with other persons. When we really love others
without any pretention we also know very well that othersmay hurt us and our trust can be betrayed by them. But ourlove for others though genuine, we also take into account
the evil side of the human nature and we should prefer toconcentrate on the basic goodness of human hearts. Thiskind of positive focus leads us to trust that people not only
will frequently act according to this goodness but will actuallybe encouraged to do so when they are the recipients of trueand sincere love. Whatever may the situations in which we
live let our trust in God and in others be firm motivated bytrue love without any expectation in return.
May God bless you all!
Your Loving Archbishop,
+ Most Rev. Dr. Antony Pappusamy

P � � s Message for 52nd WorldCommunication Day
T HE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE” (JN 8:32).
FAKE NEWS AND JOURNALISM FOR PEACE
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Communication is part of God’s plan for us and an essential way toexperience fellowship. Made in the image and likeness of our Creator,
we are able to express and share all that is true, good, and beautiful. We
are able to describe our own experiences and the world around us, andthus to create historical memory and the understanding of events. But
when we yield to our own pride and selfishness, we can also distort the
way we use our ability to communicate. This can be seen from theearliest times, in the biblical stories of Cain and Abel and the Tower of
Babel (cf. Gen 4:4-16; 11:1-9). The capacity to twist the truth is
symptomatic of our condition, both as individuals and communities. Onthe other hand, when we are faithful to God’s plan, communication
becomes an effective expression of our responsible search for truth and
our pursuit of goodness.In today’s fast-changing world of communications and digital systems,
we are witnessing the spread of what has come to be known as “fake
news”. This calls for reflection, which is why I have decided to return inthis World Communications Day Message to the issue of truth, which
was raised time and time again by my predecessors, beginning with Pope
Paul VI, whose 1972 Message took as its theme: “Social Communicationsat the Service of Truth”. In this way, I would like to contribute to our
shared commitment to stemming the spread of fake news and to
rediscovering the dignity of journalism and the personal responsibility ofjournalists to communicate the truth.
1. What is “fake” about fake news?
The term “fake news” has been the object of great discussion anddebate. In general, it refers to the spreading of disinformation on line or
in the traditional media. It has to do with false information based on non-
existent or distorted data meant to deceive and manipulate the reader.Spreading fake news can serve to advance specific goals, influence
political decisions, and serve economic interests.
The effectiveness of fake news is primarily due to its ability to mimicreal news, to seem plausible. Secondly, this false but believable news is
“captious”, inasmuch as it grasps people’s attention by appealing to
stereotypes and common social prejudices, and exploiting instantaneousemotions like anxiety, contempt, anger and frustration. The ability to spread
such fake news often relies on a manipulative use of the social networks
and the way they function. Untrue stories can spread so quickly thateven authoritative denials fail to contain the damage.
The difficulty of unmasking and eliminating fake news is due also to
the fact that many people interact in homogeneous digital environmentsimpervious to differing perspectives and opinions. Disinformation thus
thrives on the absence of healthy confrontation with other sources of
information that could effectively challenge prejudices and generateconstructive dialogue; instead, it risks turning people into unwilling
accomplices in spreading biased and baseless ideas. The tragedy of
disinformation is that it discredits others, presenting them as enemies, tothe point of demonizing them and fomenting conflict. Fake news is a sign
of intolerant and hypersensitive attitudes, and leads only to the spread of
arrogance and hatred. That is the end result of untruth.2. How can we recognize fake news?
None of us can feel exempted from the duty of countering these
falsehoods. This is no easy task, since disinformation is often based ondeliberately evasive and subtly misleading rhetoric and at times the use
of sophisticated psychological mechanisms. Praiseworthy efforts are
being made to create educational programmes aimed at helping peopleto interpret and assess information provided by the media, and teaching
them to take an active part in unmasking falsehoods, rather than
unwittingly contributing to the spread of disinformation. Praiseworthytoo are those institutional and legal initiatives aimed at developing
regulations for curbing the phenomenon, to say nothing of the work being
done by tech and media companies in coming up with new criteria forverifying the personal identities concealed behind millions of digital profiles.
Yet preventing and identifying the way disinformation works also
calls for a profound and careful process of discernment. We need tounmask what could be called the “snake-tactics” used by those who
disguise themselves in order to strike at any time and place. This was the
strategy employed by the “crafty serpent” in the Book of Genesis, who,at the dawn of humanity, created the first fake news (cf. Gen 3:1-15),
which began the tragic history of human sin, beginning with the first
fratricide (cf. Gen 4) and issuing in the countless other evils committedagainst God, neighbour, society and creation. The strategy of this skilled
25 26
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ! " # � # � � � " , that sly and dangerous
form of seduction that worms its way into the heart with false and alluringarguments.
In the account of the first sin, the tempter approaches the woman
by pretending to be her friend, concerned only for her welfare, and beginsby saying something only partly true: “Did God really say you were not
to eat from any of the trees in the garden?” (Gen3:1). In fact, God never
told Adam not to eat from any tree, but only from the one tree: “Of thetree of the knowledge of good and evil you are not to eat” (Gen 2:17).
The woman corrects the serpent, but lets herself be taken in by his
provocation: “Of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden Godsaid, “You must not eat it nor touch it, under pain of death” (Gen 3:2).
Her answer is couched in legalistic and negative terms; after listening to
the deceiver and letting herself be taken in by his version of the facts, thewoman is misled. So she heeds his words of reassurance: “You will not
die!” (Gen 3:4).
The tempter’s “deconstruction” then takes on an appearance oftruth: “God knows that on the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and
you will be like gods, knowing good and evil” (Gen 3:5). God’s paternal
command, meant for their good, is discredited by the seductive enticementof the enemy: “The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing
to the eye and desirable” (Gen3:6). This biblical episode brings to light an
essential element for our reflection: there is no such thing as harmlessdisinformation; on the contrary, trusting in falsehood can have dire
consequences. Even a seemingly slight distortion of the truth can have
dangerous effects.What is at stake is our greed. Fake news often goes viral, spreading
so fast that it is hard to stop, not because of the sense of sharing that
inspires the social media, but because it appeals to the insatiable greedso easily aroused in human beings. The economic and manipulative aims
that feed disinformation are rooted in a thirst for power, a desire to possess
and enjoy, which ultimately makes us victims of something much moretragic: the deceptive power of evil that moves from one lie to another in
order to rob us of our interior freedom. That is why education for truth
means teaching people how to discern, evaluate and understand ourdeepest desires and inclinations, lest we lose sight of what is good and
yield to every temptation.
3. “The truth will set you free” (Jn 8:32)Constant contamination by deceptive language can end up darkening
our interior life. Dostoevsky’s observation is illuminating: “People who
lie to themselves and listen to their own lie come to such a pass that theycannot distinguish the truth within them, or around them, and so lose all
respect for themselves and for others. And having no respect, they cease
to love, and in order to occupy and distract themselves without love theygive way to passions and to coarse pleasures, and sink to bestiality in
their vices, all from continual lying to others and to themselves.” (The
Brothers Karamazov, II, 2).So how do we defend ourselves? The most radical antidote to the
virus of falsehood is purification by the truth. In Christianity, truth is not
just a conceptual reality that regards how we judge things, defining themas true or false. The truth is not just bringing to light things that are
concealed, “revealing reality”, as the ancient Greek term aletheia (from
a-lethès, “not hidden”) might lead us to believe. Truth involves our wholelife. In the Bible, it carries with it the sense of support, solidity, and trust,
as implied by the root ‘aman, the source of our liturgical expression
Amen. Truth is something you can lean on, so as not to fall. In thisrelational sense, the only truly reliable and trustworthy One – the One
on whom we can count – is the living God. Hence, Jesus can say: “I am
the truth” (Jn 14:6). We discover and rediscover the truth when weexperience it within ourselves in the loyalty and trustworthiness of the
One who loves us. This alone can liberate us: “The truth will set you
free” (Jn 8:32).Freedom from falsehood and the search for relationship: these two
ingredients cannot be lacking if our words and gestures are to be true,
authentic, and trustworthy. To discern the truth, we need to discerneverything that encourages communion and promotes goodness from
whatever instead tends to isolate, divide, and oppose. Truth, therefore, is
not really grasped when it is imposed from without as somethingimpersonal, but only when it flows from free relationships between
persons, from listening to one another. Nor can we ever stop seeking
the truth, because falsehood can always creep in, even when we statethings that are true. An impeccable argument can indeed rest on
undeniable facts, but if it is used to hurt another and to discredit that
person in the eyes of others, however correct it may appear, it is nottruthful. We can recognize the truth of statements from their fruits:
whether they provoke quarrels, foment division, encourage resignation;
or, on the other hand, they promote informed and mature reflection leadingto constructive dialogue and fruitful results.

4. Peace is the true news
The best antidotes to falsehoods are not strategies, but people: peoplewho are not greedy but ready to listen, people who make the effort to
engage in sincere dialogue so that the truth can emerge; people who are
attracted by goodness and take responsibility for how they use language.If responsibility is the answer to the spread of fake news, then a weighty
responsibility rests on the shoulders of those whose job is to provide
information, namely, journalists, the protectors of news. In today’s world,theirs is, in every sense, not just a job; it is a mission. Amid feeding
frenzies and the mad rush for a scoop, they must remember that the
heart of information is not the speed with which it is reported or itsaudience impact, but persons. Informing others means forming others;
it means being in touch with people’s lives. That is why ensuring the
accuracy of sources and protecting communication are real means ofpromoting goodness, generating trust, and opening the way to communion
and peace.
I would like, then, to invite everyone to promote a journalism ofpeace. By that, I do not mean the saccharine kind of journalism that
refuses to acknowledge the existence of serious problems or smacks of
sentimentalism. On the contrary, I mean a journalism that is truthful andopposed to falsehoods, rhetorical slogans, and sensational headlines. A
journalism created by people for people, one that is at the service of all,
especially those – and they are the majority in our world – who have novoice. A journalism less concentrated on breaking news than on exploring
the underlying causes of conflicts, in order to promote deeper
understanding and contribute to their resolution by setting in place virtuousprocesses. A journalism committed to pointing out alternatives to the
escalation of shouting matches and verbal violence.
To this end, drawing inspiration from a Franciscan prayer, we mightturn to the Truth in person:
Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Help us to recognize the evil latent in a communication that doesnot build communion.
Help us to remove the venom from our judgements.
Help us to speak about others as our brothers and sisters.You are faithful and trustworthy; may our words be seeds of goodness
for the world:
where there is shouting, let us practise listening;where there is confusion, let us inspire harmony;
where there is ambiguity, let us bring clarity;
where there is exclusion, let us offer solidarity;where there is sensationalism, let us use sobriety;
where there is superficiality, let us raise real questions;
where there is prejudice, let us awaken trust;where there is hostility, let us bring respect;
where there is falsehood, let us bring truth.
Amen.From the Vatican, 24 January 2018, the Memorial of Saint Francis
de Sales. - Pope FRANCIS

i amilnadu from the Jesuit Letters and their correspondence. Renowned
Jesuits such as Balthazar da Costa, Em. Martins, Andre Freire and Antony
de Provenca have recorded the day today events, culture and mores of
people in the mission with a mind of explorer of truth. Lest they be
misguided by the interpreters, they mastered the local language, Tamil.
One would wonder how Nobili and Beschi (the great missionaries of the
Archdiocese of Madurai) mastered three languages, namely Tamil, Telugu
and Sanskrit and contributed to the growth of local literary tradition.
Nobili alone authored 24 books in Tamil. One among them is “Chinna
Kuripidam” which we use till the present time in the name of “Thiru
Maria Suvadi”, the book of basic catechism. He only coined the word
such as ‘Sarveswaran’ for God. At a certain point of time Nobili became
blind due to strenuous study and he continued translating prayers and the
Bible in Tamil. (It is indeed urgent that the Archdiocese of Madurai
explores starting the possibility of the canonization process for Rev. Robert
De Nobili.)
The Jesuit missionaries made inroad into the political, spiritual,
economic and social lives of people in Tamilnadu. It is breath-taking to
see how the missionaries changed the political and social scenario of
Tamiladu. Having been backed by the Portuguese Kings who were the
overlords of commerce and navy power during the sixteenth century
India, the missionaries fought hard to eradicate social evils such as caste
system, dowry system, sati, child marriage, superstitious beliefs, belief in
Karma, servile mentality etc. They stood at the side of the poor people
who embraced Christ as their Saviour. Though there is acute criticism
on Nobili’s method of evangelization, one cannot water down or belittle
the innovative missionary spirit of Nobili and his deep thirst to proclaim
that Jesus Christ is the Supreme Guru, the Wisdom personified of the
Father, the Paramatma. Imagine the sturdy missionary spirit of this Jesuit
priest who toiled everyday in order to win over the superiority and
hegemony of learned Brahmin pandits in Madurai.
Imagine the sufferings he underwent from the criticism and
accusation by his own Jesuit companions and mission superiors and the
ordeal he was subjected to in the name of inquisition. The present
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the then Holy Office
intervened in the controversy and pulled Nobili to Rome for inquisition.
Twice the Enquiry commission comprising of Theologians from Goa
(Emmanuel Laito S.J. and Andrea Buchario S.J.) was constituted in
order to silence his Indianization method which the theological antagonists
named as Brahmanization. Nobili with much pain caused by his own
fellow missionaries had to write letters to the Superiors and to the Pope
in Rome that what he practiced and advocated was nothing of
Hindunization but making Christ visible to the learned pandits who were
the authority in the Pandya Kingdom.
The paranghi method which his Superior, Rev. Gonzalo used could
not attract the Hindus in Tamilnadu. This Paranghi ideology drew a
sharp and acute hatred among the ordinary Hindus. It is because that
the converted Hindus who became Christians gave up completely their
social customs and mores too. They had to dress like the Portuguese;
drink alcohol like the Europeans and ate beaf and pork, indulge in
merrymaking etc. So the fellow Hindus loathed them and segregated
such converts and called all of them “paranghis” a derogative word.
Due to this paranghi method of evangelization only the Paravas from
the coastal area were converted. At his Malabar Province, Nobili with a
sad heart found out the cause of failure and wrote to his mission superior
saying that there was not even one conversion during the twelve years
of Jesuits’s (Gonsalo) ministry in Madurai. Hence in order to break the
Paranghi ideology, he discerned an alternative method of evangelization
and introduced himself as “Brahmana Sanyasi” and became a sanyasi
like Paul who became “all things to all people (I Cor. 9, 22)”.
Illumined by the divine light, and thanks to the support he received
from Fr. Vicco, his companion cum follower, Fr. Albert Layercio, his
provincial superior, Malabar province, Most Rev. Nichola Pimenta, the
Archbishop of Goa, etc., he overcame all the ordeals against him;
constantly wrote treatise of explanation about his inculturation method
to Most Rev. Francesco Ross, the Archbishop of Kiranganur, and Rev.
Claudio Aquoviva (1581- 1615), the then Superior General of the Society
of Jesus. Rome as usual after putting his own precious son into very
hard and painful trial grasped gradually the immensity and veracity of
the refined missionary soul of Robert De Nobili and acknowledged his
innovative method of evangelization and inculturation. Most of the spiritual
centers of inculturation in India (such as Shanti Vanam, Trichy, Anjali
Ashram, Mysore, Sarah Grandh Ashram, Pune and many other Ashramic
centers) stand today gigantically on the bitter sweat and blood of Nobili,
who attained surely a white martyrdom. (to be continued)
