Two tweets from Vatican mark UN Human Rights session
March 08, 2013 - While the Pope’s twitter account has gone into ‘hibernation’ since
the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI on Feb. 28 evening, the Vatican’s Secretariat
of State is tweeting messages under the handle @Terzaloggia. On Friday, as the College
of Cardinals gathered in the 7th general congregation, Vatican Secretary
for Relations with States, Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, took to social media with
the tweet: “The Holy See, in its diplomatic activity, is committed to the protection
of the rights of the most vulnerable”. Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Holy See’s
representative to the United Nations in Geneva also tweeted : “Respect for the religious
freedom of minorities is the cornerstone of dialogue and cooperation”. Both the tweets
addressed issues being dealt with in the 22nd session of the Human Rights Council,
currently taking place in Geneva from Feb. 25 to March 22.
