Pope Benedict XVI Posts First Tweet, Already Up To 1 Million Followers by ijebabe: 5:37pm On Dec 12, 2012 |
Pope Benedict XVI has finally joined this world on social media, posting his first tweet this afternoon. The Pope blessed his hundreds of thousands of new internet followers today as he sent his much-anticipated first tweet from his new Twitter handle @Pontifex. But Benedict XVI, an 85-year-old theologian who has just completed a three-volume biography of Christ that he wrote in long-hand, needed help from an aide to send the message from an iPad at the end of his general audience at the Vatican. In perhaps the most drawn out Twitter launch ever, Pope Benedict XVI pushed the button on a tablet brought to him at the end of his general audience Wednesday. Later in the day he is to respond to a few messages sent to him from around the world. The pope had garnered nearly 1 million followers in the eight languages of his account. And here is his first tweet: “Dear friends, I am pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter. Thank you for your generous response. I bless all of you from my heart.”
