The Vatican is investigating how it is possible that the Pope's Instagram account liked an extravagant photo of a Brazilian model, Natalia Garibotto.
On November 14, the Catholic News Agency reported the scandal and sought explanations from the Holy See, which did not comment. It is still unclear how the Pope's Instagram account liked the photo. CNA reports that the Vatican has launched an investigation and is seeking explanations from Instagram. A representative from the Holy See told the Guardian that none of the staff liked the photo.
Pope Francis's account is popular on Instagram and has more than 7.4 million followers, but he rarely posts. "The pope is not like Donald Trump. "I do not sit still using my phone and computer to post every day," said Robert Mickens, the Rome-based editor of the English-language edition of the Catholic daily La Croix. "He approves the posts - for example - but not the likes. Everything else is handled by the communication department. And now it happens. Who knows. ”
On Twitter, shortly after the incident went viral, Natalia Garibotto joked, "At least I will go to Heaven."
