Pope Benedict sends first Tweet from iPad

The Pope sent out his first tweet today Wednesday December 12th, a week after joining Twitter
His main account is @Pontifex which is in English but he has seven other linked Twitter accounts. The other seven have a suffix at the end for the different language versions. The German version is @Pontifex_de, and the Arabic version is @Pontifex_ar.

The tweets will be going out in Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese, German, Polish, Arabic and French. The pope already has over a million followers on all his accounts...

    God is not following him and vice-versa on Twitter. God has an account on Twitter! So funny!! The Pope said he was going to send his first tweet on the 21st in a Q and A. He's now tweeted 9 days early. Well, what a symbolic date it is today!!

    I am not catholic but I am shocked that someone on this thread asked why the pope thinks he can bless people? Na wa oooooo. I saw a poster in my neighbourhood announcing the birthday of a man of god and inviting the church members and the public to "sow a dangerous seed to bless the prophet". So na them sabi bless? Everyone should be careful with words

    @ anonymous 10.27 the pope was in charge of dispilinary wen over 200 deaf and dumb boys was sordormized it was brought to his knowlege and instead of handing the serial child molester to the police the only punishment he suffered was not to celebreate mass outside of his home church and dese poor orphaned boys were raped by a priest.

    If you holding this humble priest culpable for abuse perpetrated by few then U̶̲̥̅̊ ve to hold Christ culpable too for judas turning evil. This is a man who preside over †ђε affairs over a billion souls though some openly or covertly dissent with his leadership. What is wrong with him blessing us....but U̶̲̥̅̊ approve f U̶̲̥̅̊r president kneeling before a pastor ƒό̲̣̣̣̥r̲̅ blessing . Benedict hv serve in †ђε Lord's vineyard as priest for 62 Yrs . He has NƠ̴̴̴͡ personal property in his humble dwelling in †ђε vatican but only two cats Ãήϑ a giant piano where he plays Mozart or Bach. For those f you here who erroneously believe church can't save ..plz do a biblical research well. Yes claiming a christian doesn't save U̶̲̥̅̊ either...but personal holiness ...yet this can't be achieve outside †ђε church...
    Christ has placed de church as custodian over our souls . You read in last chapter f Matthew's gospel that disciples should teach al nations. That has been †ђε commission †ђε catholic church has been living for 21 Centuries now. Adherent to Right or orthodox teachings is wat lead you to heaven . †ђε reason you have disco houses in every corners bearing †ђε name churches with conflicting Ãήϑ heretical interpretation f scripture is τ̣̣ђȊ̝̊̅ڪ argument f personal interpretation f †ђε scripture which scripture itself condemns. NƠ̴̴̴͡body including †ђε pope condone such heinous evil as abuse f children but to hold †ђε pope culpable for τ̣̣ђȊ̝̊̅ڪ sins f few is like holding God accountable for man's misdeeds cus he created us. So you refuse to follow him on twitter or decline his blessings but dont descend low by insulting or falsely accusing him.
