TikTok may not have been in the Old Testament, but it serves as a record of capital indulgences: there’s seduction, materialism, food porn, and other manifestations of what conservatives see as corruption of the modern world.
But that doesn’t mean God isn’t there — or at least, this is what The Catholic Comedian Romar Chuca believes. He does God’s work on the platform, as well as Facebook and Instagram, using his brand of religious humor to shepherd his 600,000+ followers towards salvation.
His unlikely mashups of liturgical songs and pop hits — such as Fr. Eduardo Hontiveros’ “Papuri sa Diyos” and Ben&Ben’s “Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay” — earn millions of views.

Creation narrative
Romar started The Catholic Comedian accounts while cloistered during the height of the pandemic. His content — which includes bloopers during Sunday mass — brought a sense of nostalgia to people while church doors were shut.
Chuca’s TikTok follower count reached 5,000 within the first seven days.
But the process of becoming The Catholic Comedian started much earlier: when he was born to God-fearing parents, baptized by a priest uncle, then raised with a traditional Filipino Catholic upbringing.
