| Summary: | The web provides the possibility of access to an unprecedented amount of data and information. In such a framework, is it possible, in fact, to discern truth from falsehood and detect deceiving information that manipulate conscience? The issue of good reputation — often associated with the protection of privacy — has gained increasing attention in the Code of Canon Law, as well as in Civil Law, both at the normative and at the juridical level. The right to a good reputation and the protection of privacy has a longlasting history in Catholicism: St. Thomas Aquinas deals already with the problem of injustice committed through words, in his Summa Theologiae. The Code of Canon Law grants attention to the right to a good reputation, as it is a fundamental quality of the faithful and a necessary requirement for performing the functions of the hierarchical munera. Likewise and in view of the common good, canonical norms mention the protection of the right to a good reputation in an ecclesial perspective. Pope Francis is quite sensitive to the issue of fake news, inasmuch as — by twisting facts — they are responsible of a polarization of opinions heavily affecting the everyday behaviors of individuals and communities. |
