On the positive side of global civil societies (NGOs) we could mention for instance the numerous civil initiatives which advance public education and public debate on global affairs. Many NGOs secured greater public support than governments and their officials. Most NGOs also undertook projects to fight for more equitable distribution of planetary resources. But at the same time the models of NGOs activities, growing and shaped by western patterns of economy and culture, were not properly understood and realized in the differentiated cultures of developing countries. This was the case especially at the end of cold war, when growing disappointment with globalization expanded the space for religious renewal. Alongside the erosion of traditional identities and sources of authority, religion was able to furnish the empty space of people's sense of security. In comparison with NGOs, religious social organizations (FBOs) have something qualitatively different to offer, particularly in terms of empowering people, e.g. giving them personal dignity and self-worth.

Artykuł prezentuje fundamentalizm jako zagrożenie dla społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w oparciu o nauczanie Benedykta XVI. Współcześnie wskazuje się na liczne tendencje do myślenia w kategoriach fundamentalizmu, obecne w sferze religii, kultury, polityki, a nawet gospodarki. Największy rozgłos zdobywa jednak fundamentalizm religijny, skutkujący często atakami terrorystycznymi islamistów. W nauczaniu Benedykta XVI pojawiają się liczne wskazówki, a nawet analizy zjawiska fundamentalizmu, który zagraża współczesnej koncepcji społeczeństwa obywatelskiego. Kościół stoi zawsze na pozycji ochrony osoby w zakresie godności osobowej oraz praw człowieka, gdyż takie stanowisko jest koniecznym warunkiem rozwoju, także w wymiarze globalnym. Równie kluczowe w tym kontekście jest stwierdzenie, iż religijność człowieka, ukierunkowana na Boga będącego miłością, z założenia wyklucza przemoc, stwarzając tym samym przestrzeń dla kształtowania prawdziwie ludzkich odniesień.

The article, which is based on the teaching of Benedict XVI, presents fundamentalism as a threat to civil society. Nowadays there are numerous tendencies of thinking in the terms of fundamentalism which are present in the sphere of religion, culture, politics and even economy. However, the form of religious fundamentalism that frequently results in terrorist attacks by Islamists enjoys the greatest publicity. In the teaching of Benedict XVI, there are numerous indications and deeper analyses of the phenomenon of fundamentalism, which endangers the contemporary concept of civil society. The Church always protects a person when it comes to personal dignity and human rights, as this attitude is a necessary condition of development, also in the global dimension. In this context it is equally important to state that human religiosity is directed towards God who is love, and this assumption excludes violence, thus creating a space for shaping truly human relations.
