<\/a><\/p>\nThis is what the Pope tweeted:<\/p>\n
And afterwards he demonstrated how \u00a0much he has mastered the game Cut the Rope.<\/p>\n Well actually he tweeted: Yes the new Vatican News site News.va<\/a> is up an running.<\/p>\n So what Twitter app on the iPad does the Pope use? It was the official twitter app simply called “Twitter for iPad.” I have several Twitter apps on the iPad, but this is the one I mostly use.<\/p>\n Though I do have some serious questions about papal tweeting. Now obviously the Vatican has multiple Twitter accounts one for each of the various languages such as news_va_en<\/a>, news_va_it<\/a>, news_va_es<\/a>, news_va_fr<\/a>. So which language did the Pope tweet in?<\/p>\n I must admit it is a serious oversight that there is no news_va_la twitter feed. Surely official tweets should first be done in Latin and then other tweets would be translated and based on that official tweet.<\/p>\n My other question is could the pope issue an infallible statement via twitter? I believe he could as long as the tweet included “We declare and define that ..,” and was clearly intending the tweet for the whole Church. A direct message with “we declare and define that” would not since it would be directed towards only one individual. 140 characters for an infallible definition is I believe doable.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
