This article aims to present the case of the unfinished construction of a mexican saint in the Age of YouTube and Facebook. The first part of this writ will be a reflection about evangelization, faith and the promotion of saints in the age of Web 2.0. In a second moment, we will compare and discuss the construction of the Servant of God Luis María Martínez and his digital promotion analyzing mainly the Facebook pages open in his name. We will promote a comparative analysis of its digital "rating" with other similar figures. Finally we will encourage the reflection on the role of historical research and the role of the historical expertise required in the process of canonization within the Catholic world. This, in order to understand the similarity and divergence at a methodological level when approaching sources and the historical reconstruction in the era of Web 2.0.

Keywords : construction of holiness; Web 2.0; digital social networks; vatican secret archives; Luis María Martínez.
