In its activity, the Church used and uses the media, not only defined as Christian but also as secular ones. In history, along with technological development, these were: magazines, radio, television, and finally internet media. This last medium quite effectively displaces previously used and becomes a place of communication of thoughts. The undertaken research analyzed the most important opinion forming portals in Poland (www.onet.pl, www.wp.pl, www. interia.pl, www.gazeta.pl, www.o2.pl and www.fakt.pl) in terms of publishing texts regarding four foreign apostolic journeys unconfirmed. Second: “Preparation of clergy to use new media and to inform about issues related to the Church is appropriate” – is unconfirmed; and the third: “The amount of information and information on foreign pilgrimages is insufficient” – confirmed.
