The Pope Joins Instagram, Already Has More Followers Than You

Box CEO Aaron Levie wins best reaction to today’s social media curiosity.

“I am beginning a new journey, on Instagram, to walk with you along the path of mercy and the tenderness of God,” Pope Francis tweeted today.

“Well that’s certainly one of the more baller ways to announce your Instagram account,” Levie replied.

And to the surprise of exactly no one, the pope is doing pretty darn well on Facebook’s photo-sharing app. About eight hours after His Holiness’ initial tweet, he has well over 800,000 followers.

So far, Pope Francis has posted two photos, both of him praying. His bio simply reads, “‘I want to walk with you along the way of God’s mercy and tenderness.’ (Official Account.

Here are the Pope’s first two photos:

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
