The Pope officially joined Instagram on Saturday (Mar. 19, 2016), and he already has over 570k followers and counting.
Even though he won’t beat Caitlyn Jenner’s world record for over 1 million followers in under four hours, he’s well on his way to becoming a very popular man on social media.
His first post shows him praying, with the caption “Pray for me” written in English and eight other languages.
The religious leader is already on Twitter under the handle @Pontifex, so it was only a matter of time before he made his presence known on Instagram too.
“Watching Pope Francis post his first photo to Instagram today was an incredible moment.
@franciscus, welcome to the Instagram community! Your messages of humility, compassion and mercy will leave a lasting mark,” Instagram CEO and co-founder Kevin Systrom posted on Instagram, alongside a photo of him shaking hands with The Pope.
