The purpose of this research is to explore and examine the process of identity construction of the Catholic priest in cyberspace, especially in the context of intersection of communication, cyber culture and religion. Considering that identity is constructed through narratives, the research aims to analyze the identities created in cyberspace from the technical resources available in the digital ambience, particularly from the personal websites of the priests. The research begins from philosophical perspectives, i.e., the theoretical foundation of identity from the ancient thinkers: Heraclitus, Parmenides and Aristotle, and from the modernity: Renè Descartes, David Hume and John Locke. Further, the study situates identity in the cultural context, using authors such as Stuart Hall, Anthony Giddens and Zygmunt Bauman whose realities involve technical inventions in the field of communication. We get deeper into these realities with the studies of Marshall McLuhan, Douglas Kellner and Dominique Wolton, and specifically Pierre Levy, Lucia Santaella and André Lemos who are in the field of cyberspace. After considering the identity of the Catholic priest in cyberspace, the second part of the research attempts to place the priest in the institution, “Catholic Church” and to deepen its relationship as communication by seeking theoretical framework in the documents of the Church and in researchers like Joana Puntel, Antonio Spadaro, Jorge Miklos and Moisés Sbardelotto. Finally, through a qualitative method, the third part of the research analyzes four websites of well-known Brazilian priests (Fr Reginaldo Manzotti, Fr Marcelo Rossi, Fr Juarez de Castro and Fr Fábio de Melo) in an effort to map out how their identities are constructed and deconstructed in programmed strategies for the digital plataform
