Yes its true Pope Benedict XVI has a Twitter account as of Yesterday. Within hours, he had more than 250,000 followers. This was created to draw in the Roman Catholic Church's 1.2 billion followers, especially the young people. The Pope said he will not follow anyone for now, he will just be followed from others. His posts will go out in Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and spanish. The tweets will mostly be about content of his speeches, sunday blessings, major holidays, and reactions to major world events. Since the Pope is 85 years old he will not be conducting these tweets himself but have aides typing the tweets and him approving them. This just goes to show you Twitter is trending with the young and old now.
