	abstract = {This article focuses on Pope Francis activities on Twitter and understanding the way of using this kind of social media by religious authorities. By examining Francis{\textquoteright}s tweets from half a year of his pontificate (from September 13, 2013 to March 16, 2014), the author offers an in-depth overview of methods for studying the presence of religious authority in the digital world. In fact, he faces both the rapidly growing Heidi Campbell{\textquoteright}s Religious Social-Shaping of Technology analytic frame and the grounded theory approach. Conducting the research the author shows that Pope Francis{\textquoteright}s Twitter can be treated as a good example of {\textquoteleft}religion online{\textquoteright} based on specific strategy to extend religious authority from the real to the virtual world.},
