Vatican investigating racy Instagram like by Pope Francis account to Natalia Garibotto

The Vatican is investigating usage of the papal Instagram account after Pope Francis’ official page liked a racy picture of a scantily-clad model.

The Vatican is investigating usage of the papal Instagram account after Pope Francis' official page liked a racy picture of a scantily-clad model.

The picture "liked" by Pope Francis' verified account, Franciscus, features Brazilian model and Twitch streamer Natalia Garibotto wearing a lingerie outfit that resembles a school uniform. Garibotto's mostly-uncovered posterior is visible in the picture. The exact time of the "like" is unclear, but it was visible and reported by news outlets on November 13.

The photograph was unliked on November 14, after CNA asked the Holy See Press Office for comment. An official for the Holy See Press Office declined to comment on the event.

Sources close to the Vatican press office confirmed to CNA that the pope's various social media accounts are managed by a team of employees, and that an internal investigation is underway to determine how the "like" happened.

COY Co., Garibotto's management and publicity firm, used the papal account's like for publicity purposes, posting on its account Friday that the firm had "received the POPE'S OFFICIAL BLESSING."

Eventually I knew I would one day have something in common with the Pope. Today is that day.

They should just drop it, create a new account, and move on. No one cares.

Pope, if you're listening, ex Catholic here: I understand you want to keep up certain appearances, but if you liked a woman's butt, no one really cares.

Vatican: Please explain how his Excellency's account "liked" this sinful photograph!

Instagram: Well, what appears to have happened is that the Supreme Pontiff saw the photo of this divine bum, and hit the button which indicates that he likes it.

...Case closed.

Is he even in charge of his own social media? I would think that would be handled by his public relations person.

400 years ago if the Pope publicly liked your ass you would at least get stained glass in a church made in your honor or something.

The Pope knows good booty when he sees it.

Jokes aside, hopefully the intern in charge of the account doesn't get in too much trouble.
Give it 20 more Popes and we'll probably have one that's internet savvy.

Yeah, jokes aside, this is most likely what happened; someone fat-fingered it and hit like. ...Happens sometimes when you're using your off-hand to navigate.

fat finger? nah. someone forgot they were logged into the pope's account and not theirs? probably. the pope actually being the one who did it? if there is a god.

This is only gonna help his public image as a pope of the modern age, all things considered. Let the man thirst.

I wonder if they have a papal PayPal?
