Abstract	Despite a wealth of broadcast properties in the United States and abroad, the Catholic Church has little formal policy towards ownership of such properties. Most of the Church's recent statements on communication treat the theme in a general way and balance a defense of human rights in regard to communication with encouragement of greater use of the media in proclaiming the Gospel. Statistics indirectly demonstrate the favorable Church policy towards ownership: around the world the Catholic Church or Church-organizations (largely missions and mission societies) own 290 radio stations and five television stations. Church ownership of broadcast properties in the United States is mostly at the local level, and includes educational, college, and some commercial stations. In general, policy regarding ownership of broadcast properties seems to be favorable to ownership where opportune, and to leave specific decisions on ownership and management to as local a level as possible. (An appendix listing Catholic college radio stations, and 14 references are attached.) (SR)
