PIC – The Pope Has Only Gone And Posted His First Instagram Photo

As we all know, Pope Francis is a big fan of social media to spread the message of the Catholic Church and is a prolific Twitter user. However, he's decided to take his social networking game up a notch by joining Instagram, where he's posted his first pic.

I am beginning a new journey, on Instagram, to walk with you along the path of mercy and the tenderness of God.

— Pope Francis (@Pontifex) March 19, 2016

He made the announcement on Twitter, and some of the replies are GAS:

@Pontifex looking forward to seeing what you had for brunch, pontiff!

@Pontifex What filter would Jesus use? (Answer: Rise)
