The Synod on Synodality as a Framework for the Transformation of Catholic Religious and Community Practices
The Synod on Synodality (2021–2024) was an unprecedented consultative process in the Catholic Church. It aimed to reach out to every community worldwide in order to receive feedback on the Church, providing concrete methodology for the consultative process (discernment). In this article I will develop the thesis that the Synod on Synodality was in fact more than a consultative process but was a framework for the transformation of Catholic religio…
Catholic and Secular Ecological Organizations in Poland and Italy
Religious eco-oriented Catholic organizations are a new phenomenon and the field of ecology is dominated by secular organizations which formulate their goals and motivations beyond the religious discourse. On the other hand, religion is an important factor shaping individual and group identity and actions and, as such, has a great potential for influence on the faithful in their daily decisions and general attitudes towards ecology and environmen…
Catholic Ecological Organizations in Poland and Italy
The paper characterizes four Polish and Italian Catholic organizations that operate within the ecological field. The study of these organizations zooms in on the process of "greening of Catholicism" in Poland and Italy taking place. Studied Catholic organizations in Poland and Italy operate within different social and religious contexts. They face challenges, including resistance from traditionalists who view ecology as a leftist notion. To overc…
Providing Spiritual Care to In-Hospital Patients During Covid-19
Historically, there has be a close relationship between the nursing services and spiritual care provision to patients, arising due to the evolvement of many hospitals and nursing programmes from faith-based institutions and religious order nursing. With increasing secularism, these relationships are less entwined. Nonetheless, as nurses typically encounter patients at critical life events, such as receiving bad news or dying, nurses frequently un…
Different Shades of Green
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 d…
Sexuality beyond Chastity
In late modernity both religion and sexuality are being elaborated in terms of reflexivity. In this article, we present findings from our research on the topic of constructions of gender, intimacy and sexuality by sisters and brothers in Catholic monasteries in Poland. The findings are based on the mixed-method transformative connection between qualitative (n = 92) and representative sample quantitative research (n = 1543) conducted in 2020. We s…
The Transformation of Religious Orders in Central and Eastern Europe
Talking about Sexuality within Catholic Consecrated Communities in Poland
Currently, the topic of sexuality in the context of Catholic consecrated life is studied predominantly from the perspective of sexual abuse. In our study we sought to unveil how sexuality is lived out by sisters and brothers in Catholic monasteries in Poland, very specific groups that construct their identity and everyday practices by suppressing sexuality, resulting from the vow of chastity. In order to reach out to the attitudes and experiences…
The wall unit
Consumption in modern, capitalist countries is studied through the lens of fashion. We claim that it is fruitful to apply the concept of fashion to an analysis of consumption in a modern socialist country. By using the example of the wall unit, we discuss the emergence of fashion through the mechanism of state policy in Poland under the Communist regime. The socialist state was responsible for the propagation and implementation of modernity. The …
Loud internal life in a silent community
The aim of this article is to present the results of a sociological study on everyday life within a female cloistered monastery. This is a radical form of religious life, highly routinised, distanced from the outside world and conducted in community yet in almost total silence. By elaborating upon the concepts of everyday and lived religion, the scope of our examination complements dominant sociological approaches to the study of this religious p…
Transcending Methodological Atheism and Not Thinking Transcendentally
The main goal of the article is to propose an alternative approach towards the monastery, which relies on overcoming methodological atheism and is rooted in a lived, everyday religion approach. In order to do so, in the first section, I reconstruct Peter Berger’s methodological atheism, discuss its limits, and point to alternative methodological approaches. In the second section I present elements of my sociological study of a female, cloistered …
New Monasticism
New Monasticism has been interpreted by its protagonists as an answer to the challenges of the future of Christian monasticism. New Monastic Communities can be defined as groups of people (at least some of whom have taken religious vows) living together permanently and possessing two main characteristics: (1) born in the wake of Vatican Council II, they are renewing monastic life by emphasising the most innovative and disruptive aspects they can …
