Our 28-year-old parish priest, Father H., finally became up to date in cyber space: He now tweets! He decided to go on Twitter to follow the Pope and he told us about it in his homile yesterday evening. After his first day, he had 25 followers. He was ecstatic with that. His Holiness, after his first day, had a million.
Does the Pope tweet in German or simultaneously in several different languages?
(Fr. H's boss, the rector, has never heard of Twitter!)

The Pope tweets simultaneously in 8 languages. They are English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish and Arabic. He has separate Twitter accounts for all of these, and they are the only ones that he follows.
Here you go. (Hope this link works.)

This thread doesn't appear to be anything to do with liturgy or worship practices, and as the only topic for discussion in the OP was the languages in which the Pope tweets and that question has now been answered, I'm going to close this thread.
