| Summary: | The article investigates the process of the greening of Catholicism from a discursive perspective. Using semantic field analysis, we examined differences and similarities in the approach to ecology and "assessed" the impact of Laudato Si’ - the encyclical letter by Pope Francis - on discourse in selected Polish and Italian weekly publications. The article demonstrates how ecology is being "absorbed" within the Catholic press and how it works in the discursive environment; it also reveals the process of legitimation of "ecological norms" in Catholic practical narratives which differ in Poland and Italy. |
