In the modern world, the relationship between the Church and the media is very important. The strong development of technology, new ways of communicating and the growing role of the media in everyday life have become a challenge for the Church and its pastoral action. In the center of this paper is the activities of the Church in the Croatian media space after the democratic changes. The interdisciplinary approach of the social sciences of sociology, theology and communication science will show how and under what conditions the Church realizes its mission in the media. The first part of the paper will present the social circumstances in which the Church found itself in the time of communism and the legal framework under which it operates in today's society. The second chapter will provide an overview of the media situation in Croatian society, pointing out certain social phenomena and problems such as the decline in trust in institutions. In the continuation of the paper, the relationship between the Church and the media through history will be presented with a review of church documents that are important for this topic. Before concluding thoughts, it will be shown what media and contents the Church in Croatia has at its disposal and what image of the Church in Croatian society is created by the secular media.
