As some of you Twitter folk might (or might not) have noticed, Pope Benedict XVI tweeted today for the first time from his personal account. The tweet read:
Dear friends, I am pleased to get in touch with you through Twitter. Thank you for your generous response. I bless all of you from my heart.
Since then he has delivered four more tweets. If you’re interested in hearing what he has to say, join Benedict in Cyber Space here.
Meanwhile, the Irish abortion question continues to cause controversy, as Minister for Justice, Alan Shatter condemns anti-abortion posters that directly refer to him. Some of the posters have been situated near a creche and near Shatter’s home. The posters carry the message:
Every child matters, except to Alan Shatter.
Make sure to keep an eye on both of these stories, I’m sure at some point Benedict will say something more controversial and juicy, and the abortion debate can only heat up.
