Description
Summary:1The complexity of communication in an organization so diverse and with so many spokespersons as the Catholic Church is indeed fascinating for researchers. The 'media value' of the last three Popes has helped to spread Catholic messages and teachings through communications platforms in a way that perhaps is unprecedented in history. Benedict XVI and Francis, each with his own accent, have been consistent with the 'media values' of John Paul II: as a matter of fact, the growth of the media stature of the pope may well be one of the greatest communication stories of the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st.With John Paul's II heritage as starting point, this article explores some media milestones for Benedict XVI and Francis in the last decade, introduces some 'pathologies' of communication that are characteristic of global and complex institutions like the Catholic Church, and puts forward some recommendations to mitigate them, as it opens some venues for further research.Abstract 2La complejidad de la comunicación en una organización tan diversa y con tantos 'portavoces' como la Iglesia Católica resulta fascinante para los investigadores. El 'valor mediático' de los tres últimos pontífices ha ayudado a difundir las ideas de la Iglesia Católica a través de los medios de un modo que no tiene precedentes. Los pontificados de Benedicto XVI y Francisco han profundizado, cada uno con acentos propios, en el legado mediático de Juan Pablo II: el crecimiento de la estatura mediática de los papas es quizá una de las grandes historias de la comunicación y los medios a finales del siglo XX y comienzos del XXI. Con la herencia de San Juan Pablo II como punto de partida, se realiza una síntesis de hitos comunicativos relevantes de los pontificados de Benedicto y Francisco en la última década, se plantean 'patologías' que pueden acechar a la comunicación de instituciones globales tan complejas como la Iglesia Católica y se proponen recomendaciones para paliarlas.
