It's official. The Vatican has announced that Pope Benedict XVI has embraced social media and would begin posting messages on Twitter next week under "handle" @pontifex which is a Latin term for bridge builder. (see NYTimes 12/4/12) A Vatican adviser "advised" "Just don't expect the Pope to start following you on Twitter or retweeting your posts. He won't follow anyone - he will be followed." Asked whether the Pope's posts would be infallible, a Vatican representative laughed and said they should be considered "pearls of wisdom." His first tweet will be on that magic date 12-12-12 which is the date of his next general audience and has no mystical significance.
