Summary/Abstract: The Catholic Church is the only institution in the world that has paid attention to the media from the very beginning. Due to her responsibility to all people, she always tried to draw attention to the benefits and possible dangers. Throughout history, it offers a wide range of media documents. The Church also seeks to work in the field of education. Media education should be a very important part of the formation of future priests. However, for many reasons this is not yet the case. The author is based primarily on the experience and situation in the Czech Republic. In conclusion, the author offers a specific proposal for the introduction of media education in the formation of priests.
