Church gets more followers after reforming social media platforms

On December 16, 2017, the Roman Catholic church launched its new Vatican news (www.vaticannews.va) website.

According to La Croix, this new website is multilingual, multimedia and offers access to all Holy See media outlets.

World Religion News reports that this move got the church over four million followers on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

This change is due to the efforts of the first chief of the Secretariat for Communications, Msgr. Dario Vigano, an Italian priest and twenty IT specialists.
