According to Pastor bonus, Pope John Paul II's 1988 apostolic constitution on the Roman Curia, the council was "involved in questions regarding the means of social communication, so that, also by these means, human progress and the message of salvation may benefit secular culture and mores."[5] It worked "to encourage and support" the Church and its members in social communication to imbue mass media "with a human and Christian spirit."[5]: n. 170
