Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research undertaken was to analyze the institutional communication ofthe Polish Episcopal Conference during the 2023 parliamentary campaign. The analysis coveredbishops’ communications posted on the official website episkopat.pl and published in the periodfrom January 1, 2023 to October 13, 2023, as well as nationwide Catholic weekly magazines “Nie-dziela” and “Gość Niedzielny” from August 8, 2023 to October 13, 2023. Moreover, the positionof the so-called Toruń media (Radio Maryja, Telewizja Trwam) was also taken into account. Theauthor used the methods of discourse analysis, content analysis and literature review. During the2023 parliamentary campaign, Polish bishops were uninvolved political actors at the level of insti-tutional communication. The hierarchs did not support the United Right government and distancedthemselves from it politically. In turn, the nationwide Catholic media approved of the politicalactivities of the United Right candidates. The article increases the cognitive value in the area ofpolitical communication of the Polish Episcopal Conference.
