Ecological issues have been present in the official social teaching of the Catholic Church for many years. It was in particular Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato si’, devoted to environmental issues, that brought forth a huge response worldwide. The primary aim of this study is to search for answers to the following questions: What is the attitude of Polish Catholicism to the social teaching of the Catholic Church with regard to ecology? What is the extent of the awareness of the ecological crisis? What causes are indicated and what proposals for change are formulated? Are representatives of contemporary Polish Catholicism unanimous in their statements referring to ecology or can significant differences between them be indicated? The analysis was conducted on statements made by representatives of contemporary Polish Catholicism and found in documents of the institutional Church and in official public utterances. An important subject of research was also the analysis of publications referring to ecological issues in influential Catholic magazines, i.e. Niedziela, Gość Niedzielny Przewodnik Katolicki, Tygodnik Powszechny and Więź i Znak. Based on the statements analysed, it can be concluded that ecological issues are treated with great attention. The majority of the opinions published agree that ecological threats are extremely important and require a reaction; however, there are still some representatives of Polish Catholicism that approach these issues with some reservations and a great deal of caution, especially with regard to statements and actions instigated by eco-activists. Some differences can also be seen in the context of the main causes of the environmental crisis and the choice of methods and tools for changing the situation as indicated in the statements. When reporting on the social teaching of the Catholic Church concerning ecological issues, other components of this teaching are often emphasized and given various interpretations. These differences are visible both in the context of statements made by representatives of the institutional Church and in the comments and opinions published in the above-mentioned magazines.

Artykuł stanowi próbę opisu – na podstawie danych empirycznych – najważniejszych cech charakterystycznych religijności młodych Polaków. Autorzy prezentują wyniki własnego badania ankietowego zrealizowanego wśród polskich studentów, które potwierdzają tezę o polaryzacji postaw w tym zakresie, jak również tendencję do indywidualizowania i relatywizowania nakazów Kościoła, tak w sferze deklaratywnej, jak i w praktyce życia codziennego. Wnioski zawarte w tekście pozwalają szczegółowo scharakteryzować zróżnicowanie zachowań i poglądów młodych ludzi w zakresie religijności oraz moralności. W świetle prezentowanych danych bardzo wyraźnie widać rozdźwięk pomiędzy religijnością a moralnością młodych ludzi. Religia okazuje się ważnym aspektem ich życia, jednakże w niewielkim stopniu determinuje zachowania zgodne z moralną nauką Kościoła katolickiego.

The authors describe – basing on empirical data – the most important characteristics of religiosity of young Poles. They present results from their own survey conducted among Polish students, that support thesis about polarization of attitudes as well as individualization and relativization of religious orders in the respondents’ declarations and practice of everyday life. Findings allow to describe in detail the diversity of young people’s behaviour and opinions in scope of religiosity and morality. In the light of the presented data we can observe the gap between these two spheres. Religion is an important aspect of life for young people, but it determines to a small extent their behaviour which is compatible with the moral teachings of the Catholic Church.
