What is it about the Catholic Church and communication?
The church seldom if ever gets it right. Why?
In the current row regarding Magdalene compensation do individual sisters in the relevant congregations know the detail of what their congregation has paid out in compensation?
Next week the Dominican Order is holding an international conference or chapter in Croatia.
The Order has a press release concerning the chapter on its website that was posted in late June. It's not well written and tells the reader very little.
The same site regularly posts pictures without captions. A first year journalist student is told the first day that one never posts or prints a picture without a full and extensive caption.
One of the few times the church seems to take communication seriously is when it is preaching down to people, telling people what to do, admonishing them, all the time giving the impression that it knows best and dare anyone challenge its word.
Right across the church there is a terrible information deficit. Is it intentional? Has it something to so with a preverse understanding of power and control?
It is a strange view of the world. And it's not working.
