Hearing the Pope Matters! Thanks to Captioning -WE HEARD!
I'm totally impressed how the deaf and hard of hearing were not left out the entire week the Pope came to visit the USA!
There was captioning almost everywhere, or so it seemed! When I went to watch it on EWTN TV station, EWTN captioned the Pope! CNN, Fox, MNBC, CBS etc -all captioned the Pope visit to the USA! Captioning was every where!
They even captioned it right at the event itself for those who went to visit and attend the events itself! They had screens all over the place, captioning LIVE in real time! Some places allowed access to the captioning via iPhone! The Mass was in captioned! We could be part of the Mass! We could attend the live events and have access to it because of the real time captioning! The deaf and hard of hearing were allowed access to the Pope!
It was the same for those watching it on TV as well! The week the Pope visited were the first Masses I ever 'heard' from the Pope, thanks to captioning!
Hearing the Pope Matters! Thanks to Captioning -WE HEARD!

Listening can be the most active form of participation, demanding effort and attention. Truly, as the scriptures tell us, faith demands hearing, fides ex audit.

Catholic Mass for the deaf and hard of hearing:
"For the Deaf or Hard of Hearing:
Arrange for seating the Deaf community in the
front, near the
speaker.
Arrange for interpreter or real time captioning
services at
least
two weeks in advance.
Utilize room amplification system or personal
amplification
system…"

What do the deaf and hard of hearing use for Communication Access?:
ASL (American Sign Language) is used by the Culturally Deaf in the USA, CART (real time captioning) or its newer tech version called Remote CART is used by the late deaf, oral deaf and severe to profound hearing loss, ALD's (Assistive Listening Devices) are used by the hard of hearing (mild and moderate hearing loss). Captioning (CART) can sometimes be used by the culturally Deaf but you need to ask them first. The Hard of Hearing (mild and moderate) can also use captioning but they usually prefer Audio Loops. Again, you need to ask them first. Yes, I know I keep saying this through out my blog. We are diverse you see. We need to break the sound barriers for everyone so they can fully and actively participate and share the Joy of the Gospel to all.

is the most difficult to address," states Ginny

"When an event needs to be made inclusive, projecting the CART display for the benefit of the entire room can be the best way to provide universal access for Deaf, late deafened, and hard of hearing people, as well as people who might have some degree of hearing loss but who don’t self-identify as hard of hearing or deaf. CART is also useful for English language learners and people with dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, or ADHD. When the CART display is available to every audience member, no one has to feel singled out or as if they’re demanding special privileges. Everyone benefits."

"We depend on captions for television, movies, relay phone calls, live theater and meetings, etc. However, captions are lacking at churches and synagogues. As a result we no longer attend. We feel excluded from the spiritual communities." (Source: http://xpressivehandz.blogspot.com/2014/07/why-churches-and-synagogues-need-to.html)

Is your church or Diocese/Archdiocese inclusive to all those with hearing loss and deafness by providing Real time Captioning, Sign Language and Audio Loops? If not - Diversity and Inclusion Awareness is needed in order to share the joy of the gospel by applying Universal Communication Access. It is very important to share the Word of God with everyone. Let's pray for that!
