MIGUEL, Gloria. Religiosity and memes: Responses to Pope Francis' posts on Twitter . Trama comun. [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.1, pp.123-143. ISSN 1668-5628.

The communication scenarios linked to social networks and internet-based media have been studied from different perspectives, and have been characterized as digital, reticular and interactive. This work aims to analyze expressions linked to Catholicism in these circuits and focuses on the activity of Pope Francis' account on Twitter in Spanish (@Pontifex_es) and on the repercussions among the users of that platform that are reflected online. It seeks to account for the production of meaning, negotiations, disputes and emerging meanings around the publications of the highest authority of the Catholic Church. For this, digital formats are analyzed, particularly tweets, images and memes, considering the representations that express the relationships between religion and new technologies; and representations of the Pope's image, religious beliefs and practices.
