Summary/Abstract: This study highlights the reality that the media is a huge challenge for the sincere Christian, desirous of spiritual life. If in order to live spiritually, the Christian strengthened by grace must bear the fight with evil impulses of a character paralyzed by sin, the media pushes him in the exact opposite direction, that of a true deep passion. The more we appeal to media and the more complex the media is, the stronger is the negative impact being an illusion and a utopia to believe that someone may be invulnerable. The postmodernism in a multimedia society is a major threat to the mission and life of the Church of Jesus Christ. Also, desacralization, relativization and secularization is an attempt on life and human being aimed at transforming the human being into a profane and profaned or profanatory reality, self-sufficient and in a permanent search for just the earthly fulfillment.
