 Abstract   

New and popular form of media – memes created by users of the internet has been used to portray a person of pope as well as others. It is an immediate reaction to recent events and happenings of all areas of life. In it’s main language memes use parody and pastiche. Most of memes are lively reactions caused by events such as reception of teaching sorforms of cult – including i.e. monuments. The author of the article describes several most common ways of portraying John Paul II as a person through memes – from approval to negation. She paints topic of memes with crisis in communication, personalism, theory of representation and symbol as its background. The author postulates “communicative humanism” based on concept of person – an individual who expresses himself/herself in a dialog (with himself/herself, other human being, world, and God) as a way to connect divided societies through building communities as well as through restoration of unity of lingual and symbolical code.
