The Vatican has invited the pope's new Twitter fans to ask questions that the pontiff will try to answer in 140 characters or less.
The first tweet marks a milestone in Vatican communication efforts as it tries to disseminate the Catholic message worldwide -- especially to younger people.
Several leading Vatican prelates are already regular tweeters including Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, head of the Pontifical Council for Culture.
