I know two thinkers. The first claims that mass media are so often harmful that, in a healthy society, they should be abolished altogether — to prevent the population from being manipulated, deceived by illusions, and morally corrupted by bad examples.

The second acknowledges that media can indeed pervert if they transmit toxic content, but believes they can also be a powerful tool to uplift the morality and spirituality of a people. According to him, when used wisely, mass media can foster empathy, touch hearts, and inspire concrete action for justice and the common good.

A 2300-Year-Old Debate... Still Relevant Today

You may have guessed who they are: these two thinkers are long gone — they passed away over 2300 years ago.

The first, Plato, was deeply disillusioned by the corrupting power of the "mass media" of his time — namely, the theater and popular poetry, like the works of Homer. The scandalous and fantastical stories being told led him to conclude that in a well-ordered society, such media should simply be banned. One can imagine that, were he alive today, he would hold the same opinion — and with even more reason!

The second thinker, his illustrious student Aristotle, took a more balanced view. He believed that the arts (and by extension, the media) were not only useful but essential to the proper functioning of the state. He recognized their persuasive power but also saw their potential to elevate citizens morally and emotionally.

QLC Sides with Aristotle (and Good Media)

At Quebec Life Coalition, we believe Aristotle was right — in this debate, as in many others. (To learn more, check out The Last Superstition, a powerful book on Aristotle’s realist philosophy — translated into French by our team!)

As pro-God, pro-family, and pro-life citizens, we have a duty not only to criticize bad media, but also to support and create good media.

That's why QLC produces hundreds of news articles and commentaries each year, published on our website and social media. And it's why we've partnered with Théovox, a Christian channel that airs a high-quality weekly news show addressing topics like abortion, family, faith, and cultural issues. Théovox also assists us in organizing our annual March for Life in Quebec City.

But that’s not all: this fall, QLC will be launching its own show, with the help of Théovox — hopefully to be aired both on our channel and on theirs.

Discover Action Vitale (French-language media)

Still in our mission to promote good media, we strongly encourage you to subscribe to the YouTube channel Action Vitale, a Christian, pro-life, pro-family initiative founded by two young men in their early twenties.

Nearly twice a week, they publish bold, intelligent, and well-researched video commentaries on topics dear to us: from abortion to conservative politics to arguments for the existence of God.

Notre-Dame Basilica: Stage for Secularist and Islamist Protests
According to a report from Rebel News, a demonstration was recently held to defend the patrimonial value of the Notre-Dame Basilica, as it has become the site of public Islamic prayers. This time, pro-Palestinian demonstrators confronted counter-protesters across Place d’Armes, with the area cordoned off by Montreal police.
