Catholic influencers have emerged as influential figures on social media platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, where they share religious content and engage with followers. These individuals, including Brother Paul-Adrien, Abbé Matthieu Raffray, Victor Dubois de Montreynaud, and Jean-Baptiste Bienvenu, have built large online communities. Recently, they gathered for a prayer vigil at the Saint-Sulpice church in Paris in anticipation of Pope Léon XIV's visit. Organizers anticipated more than 2,000 people attending the event. These influencers often use the formats and styles popular on social media to share religious content. For example, the Padreblog channel provides tutorials on confession, while the Two Disciples channel discusses topics like the travels of Pope François. On TikTok, they share prayer sessions and excerpts from their podcasts. Victor Dubois de Montreynaud, for instance, films short videos in Parisian streets, similar to many TikTokers, but his content often includes thought-provoking questions like "Jesus is resurrected, prove to me that I'm wrong" or "Christmas without God, it's more Christmas, prove to me that I'm wrong." Many of these influencers have become highly professional, with production teams and studios supporting their work. Brother Paul-Adrien, for example, works with two others and relies on donations, support from the Dominicans, and products like music and books. The Two Disciples channel collaborates with 9Média, a media incubator linked to the Chemin Neuf community. Victor Dubois de Montreynaud describes his work as full-time, supported by donations, partnerships, books, and public speaking events. The primary goal of these influencers is evangelization—reaching out to non-Catholics and reinvigorating the faith among young people. David Douyère, a researcher in religious communication, notes that the rise of digital evangelists has contributed to a recent increase in baptisms. According to the French Bishops' Conference (CEF), more than 13,000 adults were baptized at Easter this year, a 28% increase compared to 2025. Over the past decade, the number of Easter baptisms has more than tripled, according to the CEF. However, the content produced by some Catholic influencers is not always neutral. Many reflect neo-traditionalist, classical, or even fundamentalist views. They often discuss topics such as the devil, differences between religions, and conversions to Catholicism. Some influencers take clear stances on political and social issues, including the Church's position on contraception and gender equality. Abbé Matthieu Raffray, for example, has expressed concerns about the "search for equality" that he believes erases differences between men and women and has criticized "trends toward homosexuality" as a "vice." Victor Dubois de Montreynaud argues that issues like euthanasia should be viewed as matters of human life rather than political debate. David Douyère notes that many Catholic influencers associate their spiritual messages with socially conservative positions, such as opposing same-sex marriage and believing that homosexuality should not be lived. The influence of conservative figures like Pierre-Édouard Stérin, who funds events for Catholic influencers, may contribute to the conservative tone seen on social media. The French Bishops' Conference generally aligns with classical or neo-traditional views, though there are diverse opinions within the group. This conservative influence may explain the prevalence of conservative Catholic content on social media. Left-wing Christians are often older and less active on these platforms. Some progressive priests, like Matthieu Jasseron, who once had over a million followers on TikTok, faced Church disapproval for views that conflicted with traditional teachings, leading to their eventual departure from both the Church and TikTok.
