Benedict XVI, the pope known for his hefty volumes of theology, is now trying brevity – spreading the faith through his own Twitter account.

The pontiff will tweet in eight languages starting Dec. 12 using his personal handle (at)Pontifex, responding live to questions about faith during his weekly general audience, the Vatican said Monday.

Within six hours of the Vatican’s announcement, Benedict had already garnered nearly 150,000 followers on the English version of (at)Pontifex alone, with thousands more following him in the eight other language accounts.

Carrie Underwood learns from Imperfect Moments

“American Idol” did more than launch Carrie Underwood’s career – it helped shape the picture-perfect image she has today.
