'I start this new path to walk with you along the way of God's Mercy and tenderness.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
This is how the Pope has launched his Instagram account; 'Franciscus.\u00e2?\u009d An account that after being active for only an hour, had more than 100,000 followers and has reached more than a million and a half followers within a couple of days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was accompanied by the CEO and co-founder of Instagram, Kevin Systrom, who was one of the first to follow him and also welcome him to Instagram.<\/p>\n
This event did get overlooked by other major player in the social media world, as the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, who received the news with this message: 'No matter what faith you practice, we can all be inspired by Pope Francis' humility and compassion.'<\/p>\n
The first picture the Pope posted was an image of him kneeling accompanied by a phrase that could not be missed: 'Pray for me\u00e2?\u009d in nine languages. He also uploaded a video upon opening the account and several photos like this one where it says that the Crucifix is the royal seat of God.<\/p>\n
His Instagram account was launched precisely on March 19, St. Joseph's Day, marking the three years of the start of his Pontificate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His predecessor,\u00a0Benedict XVI, launched a papal Twitter account that today has over 25 million followers.<\/p>\n
