Published on Dec 4, 2012

On Monday, the Vatican announced that the 85-year-old pontiff would begin posting messages on Twitter next week under the handle @pontifex, a term for pope that means bridge-builder in Latin. Within hours, he had more than 250,000 followers.

Benedict is expected to send his first post at a general audience at the Vatican on Dec. 12 — a response to questions about matters of the faith that he is now accepting via the hashtag #askpontifex, officials said.

The Vatican acknowledged that it had chosen the @pontifex handle not only because of its meaning but also because many other handles had been taken.

The move is aimed at drawing in the Roman Catholic Church's 1.2 billion followers, especially young people. "The pope's presence on Twitter can be seen as the 'tip of the iceberg' that is the church's presence in the world of new media," the Vatican said in a statement.

    I appreciate this kind of video clip. Really like You tube because of this sort of information!

    My best friend used to be bullied. He explained he was going to grow muscles. I laughed... Til out of the blue he gained 40 pounds of complete muscle mass. He tried the Muscle Building Bible (Google it). No one dares to bully the man these days. :-) I personally subscribed earlier this week. Plus this guys emails are fucking interesting!!!
