Pope Benedict XVI to get his own personal Twitter account | Source : Wikipedia.org |
In June 28, Pope Benedict XVI launched Vatican's news portal, tweeting from Vatican's English language account, @news_va_en. "Dear friends, I just launched News.va Praised be our Lord Jesus Christ! With my prayers and blessings, Benedictus XVI." the Pope said through an iPad device.
Thousands of people re-tweeted Pope's announcement and it also increased his followers count.
The Vatican said that new Twitter account would belong to Pope Benedict XVI but as he is not using a computer the tweeting will be mostly done by someone else.
The Associated Press reported that a papal spokesman, Rev. Federico Lombardi said that the details about Pope's handle would be released when the Vatican officially launched the account.
