Современные научные исследования показывают, что религия все больше определяет образ жизни обществ, в которых получили распространение традиционные конфессии. В  качестве причин называются социальные трансформации в развивающихся и развитых государствах, вызванные экономической модернизацией и миграционными процессами, а также неэффективность управленческих моделей, используемых политическими элитами. Мировые религии адаптируются к современной ситуации и стремятся влиять на общественно-политические процессы. Это характерно и для Ватикана, города-государства, осуществляющего руководство Римско-католической церковью. Важной задачей политики Ватикана в последние десять лет является стремление повысить значимость католической церкви за пределами ее традиционной сферы влияния. В  статье рассматривается публичная дипломатия Ватикана как инструмент реализации его внешней политики посредством анализа стратегического нарратива папы Франциска I. Цель исследования  – определить уникальность стратегического нарратива публичной дипломатии Ватикана в период начала понтификата Франциска   I, направленного на трансформацию образа Римско-католической церкви и укрепления ее отношений с верующими за рубежом. Подчеркивая двойную функцию понтифика как лидера суверенного государства и Римско-католической церкви, в исследовании используется фрейм-анализ для определения ключевых идей, артикулируемых в выступлениях понтифика. Результаты анализа демонстрируют, что в основе выступлений папы Франциска   I перед представителями общественности в первые годы его понтификата лежали идеи коллективной ответственности, универсальных ценностей, призыва к действиям. Комплексное осмысление этих трех фреймов указывает на то, что усилия РКЦ в контексте публичной дипломатии нацелены в том числе за рамки католической аудитории.

Modern scientific research shows that religion increasingly deter -mines the way of life of the societies where traditional confessions have become widespread. The social transformations in the developing and developed states caused by economic modernization and migration processes, as well as the ineffectiveness of the governance models used by the political elites are mentioned as reasons. The world religions adapt to the modern situation and try to influence the socio-political processes. This is also characteristic of the Vatican, the city-state that administers the Roman Catholic Church. An important goal of the Vatican policy over the past decade is to raise the profile of the Catholic Church beyond its traditional sphere of influence. Through the analysis of the strategic narrative of Pope Francis   I, the article considers the public diplomacy of the Vatican as a tool to implement its foreign policy. The purpose of the research  is  to  determine the uniqueness  of  the strategic  narrative  of  the Vatican’s public diplomacy during the early pontificate of Francis I, aimed at transforming the image of the Roman Catholic Church and strengthening its relations with the faithful abroad. Emphasizing the pontiff’s dual  role  as  head of  a sovereign state and head of the Roman Catholic Church, the study uses the frame analysis to  identify  the key ideas articulated  in  the pontiff’s rhetoric.  The results  of  the analysis show that Pope FrancisI’s speeches to the public in the early years of his pontificate were based on the ideas of collective responsibility, universal values, and a call to action. An integrated reflection on these three frameworks suggests that the RCC’s public diplomacy efforts go far beyond the Catholic audiences.
