The Pope concedes that Facebook is a more important social network than the Catholic Church

The Pope used an iPad to send his first tweet yesterday.

His Holiness also conceded that the Catholic Church is no longer the most important social network in the world in the description of their new Facebook app, Pope2You. 

"Pope2You for Facebook lets you receive the messages of Pope Benedict XVI through the most important social network of the world. So you can meet the Pope on Facebook, listen to his words, see his pictures, receive his messages of congratulations through “virtual postcards”. The postcards can be sent to your “friends” on Facebook and the application can be shared with anyone."


Pope2You also includes a YouTube channel and an iPhone app.
