Inter mirifica

Inter mirifica (lit. 'Among the wonderful' in Latin), subtitled "Decree on the Media of Social Communication", is one of the Second Vatican Council's 16 magisterial documents. The decree aims to address the concerns, problems, and potential of social communication.

The final text was approved on 24 November 1963 by a vote of 1598 to 503, at the end of the Council's second session. It was promulgated by Pope Paul VI on 4 December 1963, after another vote, this time with 1960 in favour and 164 opposed.

Inter mirifica identifies social communication as the press, cinema, television, and other similar types of communication.
