Summary/Abstract: The article aims to attempt a synthetic look at the reality of media literacy, first and foremost from the perspective of theological sciences, in particular the pastoral theology and the theology of means of social communication in a direct ecclesial context. This is connected with the need to define its role in the contemporary Church and its place in the current division of scientific fields and disciplines, as well as to indicate the trends of media literacy development and tasks that the Polish Church faces in this area. The contemporary teaching of the Church on the new evangelisation, which - in many places - has implications for the ecclesiastical doctrine of the media, constitutes the immediate context of the undertaken research. The issue under study has been presented in the following areas: 1. Around the concept of media literacy, 2. Interdisciplinarity of media literacy, 3. The role of media formation in the Church, 4. Selected trends of development of media literacy in an ecclesial context.
