POPE OPENS A TWITTER ACCOUNT @pontifex

You can now follow the pope on twitter. Pope Benedict’s handle on Twitter will be @pontifex.
The Vatican said on Monday that the pope will start tweeting on December 12, the feast of the Madonna of Guadalupe. The tweets will be going out in Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese, German, Polish, Arabic and French. Other languages will be added in the future.
He already has 1.2 billion “followers”. In case you are expecting him to follow you too on Twitter, you had better take your mind off it...cos he won't be following anyone.
The first papal tweets will be answers to questions sent to #askpontifex.
The pope’s Twitter page is designed in yellow and white – the colors of the Vatican, with a backdrop of the Vatican and his picture. It may change during different liturgical seasons of the year and when the pope is away from the Vatican on trips.
