The Pope has way too much faith in the way we use social media

Pope Francis had some wild optimism to share with Twitter timelines on Tuesday.

He celebrated the fifth anniversary of his Twitter account with a tweet, thanking his followers for their support. But then he threw in an interesting line, that places entirely too much faith in the people who use social media—and in the most loving of ways, people called him out for it.

"Thank you for following @Pontifex which turns five years old today," he, or someone in the Vatican, tweeted. "May social media always be spaces that are rich in humanity!"

Haaaaaaaaaa.

"Rich in humanity" is definitely not the way folks tends to describe social media platforms like Twitter. Though if you count misogyny, racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, violence, etc. as all facets of humanity then, well, he isn't too wrong. There's plenty of that in every social media platform, though to be clear, that's definitely not what the Pope is endorsing.

Maybe one day, Pope Francis, we'll tweet good things and good things only.
