One of Pope Benedict’s last marks made? An embrace of social media

Tags: Pope Benedict XVI pope benedict social media catholic church es pope benedict catholics numbers pope benedict resigns 25 • Permalink

1.5M the number of Twitter followers Pope Benedict XVI had built up for himself in the two months he had been on Twitter. Sending just 34 tweets, he quits the post by becoming the first Pope to show an earnest embrace of technology. Prior to the move, 53% of U.S. internet users were unaware of the Pope’s online presence.
