Research on religious language in Poland has been developing since the second half of the 20th century, a period in which new religious movements have emerged within traditional denominations. One of these is the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (hereafter: the charismatic movement). The Charismatic Renewal is a global movement formed by individuals and groups who share a similar religious experience. Its members are characterised by a distinctive way of experiencing faith and by common goals. The charismatic movement attracts interest both from researchers and from Catholics themselves, but it also provokes controversy, particularly among Catholics associated with so‑called Catholic traditionalism.The aim of this paper is to analyse the image of the charismatic movement in media discourse, using as examples articles published on the PCh24.pl website, which represents the traditionalist trend mentioned above. The research is conducted within an axiolinguistic framework, focusing on linguistic indicators of evaluation and on the reconstruction of the value system manifested in the analysed texts. The study draws, among other things, on the cognitive axiolinguistic model developed by the Polish linguist Tomasz P. Krzeszowski. The analysis covers both lexical and extra‑lexical evaluative means (including morphological and syntactic devices), as well as strategies for profiling religious actors in the media discourse under examination. Particular attention is paid to the values and anti‑values (e.g. orthodoxy, emotionality, elitism) attributed to the charismatic movement and to how these fit into the broader context of progressive-traditionalist disputes in contemporary Catholic discourse. The analysis will make it possible to determine whether, and in what way, the charismatic movement is becoming an element of polarisation within religious discourse in the media.
