ROGER SOLIS NICOT, Yves Bernardo. Catholic E-Vangelization and Web 2.0 during Pandemic time in Mexico. Cuicuilco. Rev. cienc. antropol. [online]. 2023, vol.30, n.88, pp.131-152.  Epub 08-Abr-2024. ISSN 2448-8488.

In Mexico, even before the health emergency caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, some priests, religious men, and women chose to bring the gospel to digital social networks. One of them is the famous Chinese short-form video hosting service: TikTok. The phenomenon studied is alive, so new methodological tools and methods are needed to analyze it. In this article, I used new tools and methods of digital ethnography and text analysis to understand the production of content and the reactions of the faithful through the analysis of two cases of Catholictokeros originally from Mexico: Sister Judith and Father Borre. The health emergency came to accelerate an already existing process. The institutional effort of the Catholic Church in these times of health emergency has been plural and diverse both in the digital and analog world.
