Religious Communication about Ecology: Cancel Culture and the Roman Catholic Church – Selected Reflections

Abstract

The main aim of the article is to analyze the issues of ecology in religious communication in the context of the manifestations of cancel culture in relation to the Roman Catholic Church. The basic subject of these considerations is the encyclical Laudato si’ by Pope Francis, as well as the literature on cancel culture, with particular emphasis on the intuition of Jo-Rene Formicola. In connection with the analysis of religious communication about ecology, research was used that shows to what extent the social encyclical of Pope Francis, called green or ecological, was an important topic of discussion in the pages of the most popular Catholic opinion weeklies in Poland. Analyzing the issues of religious communication about ecology on the basis of Laudato si’, directions for the development of the “ecology of human everyday life” were proposed, taking into account the reference to counteracting violence against people and animals.

The article was funded under the programme of the Minister of Education and Science "Regional Initiative of Excellence" in 2019--2023, project no. 28/RID/2018/19, amount of funding: PLN 11,742,500.
