The Pope Sends out a Tweet from his IPAD: Wow! I Still Don't Own One :(

The Vatican has entered the 21st century. For the first time Pope Benedict used Twitter on an iPad yesterday to send out a message announcing the launch of a Vatican news information portal.

Benedict's tweet read, "Dear Friends, I just launched News.va. Praised be our Lord Jesus Christ! With my prayers and blessings, Benedictus XVI."

According to Thaddeus Jones, project coordinator and an official with the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, the 84-year-old pontiff was "clearly in awe at the new technology."
