Pope Benedict Tweets Via iPad [VIDEO]

The Vatican has finally entered the 21st century. For the first time Pope Benedict used Twitter on an iPad yesterday to send out a message announcing the launch of a Vatican news information portal.

Benedict's tweet read, "Dear Friends, I just launched News.va. Praised be our Lord Jesus Christ! With my prayers and blessings, Benedictus XVI."

If your parents aren't using Facebook or Twitter now there isn't any excuse!
