Abstract

n Italy, after the COVID lockdown, began “phase two,” allowing worshippers to celebrate live masses. Churches reopened, but many masses were still transmitted live through social media, having a large mediatic resonance. Our research inquires the relation of Church and politics in the costruction of governance: we investigate how the leaders of the religious community took a stand on political and medical ordinances in relation to pub- lic opinion. In order to do it, we will compare four homilies given on May 31, 2020 (Mass of Pentecost), and we will analyze them using semiotic and ethnolinguistic categories
