Better late than never. Last Saturday, the Vatican launched its official Twitter page. And it is available in no less than six international languages. As of writing this post, the Vatican Twitter (English) page has more than 2,000 followers.

The Vatican is not new to social media as it launched its YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/vatican) as well as Facebook and iPhone applications more than a year ago. The Vatican’s YouTube channel is available in 4 languages.

Here are the links to the Vatican Twitter pages:
