Pope Francis Joins Instagram

After taking Twitter by storm, Pope Francis now joins Instagram. Pope Francis in his 5 months as the head of the Roman Catholic Church, took his social media presence to the next level by setting up an Instagram account.

Having more than 3 million followers on Twitter where he uses the handle @Pontifex and tweets in English, Pope Francis also has handles in other world languages with many followers on those profiles too. The Vatican also has an Instagram account with more than 6,000 followers. Posts on the feed include shots of the Vatican buildings and crowds waiting to see the Pope. Social media seems to be something Pope Francis has understood and is doing his best to use all the avenues possible to reach out to the faithful around the world especially the youth. 

Be forewarned though, there won't be any Rihanna or Lady Gaga styled selfies on the pontiff's Instagram account.
