Pope Francis has made 40 million Twitter followers, the Vatican said on Wednesday, thus becoming one of the world’s biggest social media influencers.
With the development, the Argentine who has his accounts in nine languages, runs neck to neck with US President Donald Trump (40.3 million followers)
However, the Pope is way behind former US President, Barrack Obama (95 million) and Katy Perry (104 million).
According to the Vatican, nine million Twitter users have followed the various @pontifex accounts in the last year, a development which they belief underscores the increasing bridge of communication between the Pontiff and Catholic faithfuls

 

Francis, 80, has become a star of the platform despite the dry, religious nature of most of his tweets.
