Wrong notion of love
May manaka-nakang mensahe ang Liberated 2 ukol sa tunay na pagmamahal
at sa epekto ng mga relasyon sa ating buhay. Ngunit ang lahat ng ito'y
pawang patumpik lamang kung ikukumpara sa dominanteng mensahe nito ukol
sa makabagong pagtingin ng mga kababaihan, pati na rin ng mga
kalalakihan sa seks. Hindi ito isang sagradong bagay para sa
kanila. Walang responsibilidad o anuman ang gawaing ito kundi isa
lamang itong laro o ordinaryong aktibidad na gagawin ng kahit sinong
may nais, kahit kanino, kahit saan, kahit anong oras. Walang
pagmamahal, pangmatagalang relasyon o kasal na dapat kaakibat
nito. Labis na nakababahala ang ganitong mensahe. Hindi lamang ang
malabis na hubaran ang tinututulan ng CINEMA sa palikulang Liberated 2,
kundi ang pinaka-konteksto ng pelikula nito na nakasentro sa mga karnal
na pagnanasa at pagbibigay dahilan sa mga lisyang gawain. Maaaring
isipin ng mga manonood na katanggap-tanggap na ang mga babaeng
tulad nina Janel at Fatima pati na ang kanilang iresponsableng
pagtingin sa relasyon at pakikipagtalik. Hindi sila kinakitaan ng
anumang pagsisisi o kalungkutan sa kabila ng kanilang mga nagawang
kamalian. Higit sa lahat, hindi nila ito nakikita bilang kamalian
kundi pawang mga desisyon lamang ayon sa tawag ng kanilang laman.

ETHICS IN THE MEDIA OF SOCIAL
COMMUNICATION: A MATTER OF CHOICE
The Church's approach to the means of social communication is fundamentally

positive, encouraging. She does not simply stand

in judgment and condemn; rather, she considers these instruments to be not only
products of human genius but also
great gifts of God and
true signs of the times (cf. Inter Mirifica, 1; Evangelii Nuntiandi,
45; Redemptoris Missio, 37). She desires to support those who are professionally
involved in communication by setting out positive principles to assist them in their
work, while fostering a dialogue in which all interested parties—today, that means
nearly everyone—can participate. These purposes underlie the present document.
Unity and Advancement of Men.
We say again: The media do nothing by themselves; they are instruments,
tools, used as people choose to use them. In reflecting upon the means of
social communication, we must face honestly the "most essential"
question raised by technological progress: whether, as a result of it,
the human person "is becoming truly better, that is to
say more mature spiritually, more aware of the
dignity of his humanity, more responsible, more
open to others, especially the neediest and the
weakest, and readier to give and to aid all" (Pope
John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis, 15).
the media are called to serve
human dignity by helping
people live well and function as
persons in community.
In all three areas—message, process, structural
and systemic issues—the fundamental ethical
principle is this: The human person and the
human community are the end and measure of
the use of the media of social communication;
communication should be by persons to persons
for the integral development of persons.

What is the media telling me directly?

Step 2: Discern
What were your feelings?
Evaluate the worldview that you discovered

Step 3: Decide
What course of action is it asking me to do?
Should I follow it or not?
