Pope as superman: Vatican twitting wandschmiererei associated with sensei pontiff

VATICAN CITY-Pope Francis as superman, flying through the air together with his white cape billowing out behind him: the image graffitied by an anonymous artist onto a wall in Rome was tweeted by the Vatican on Tuesday.

Speeding forwards together with his fist raised, the heroic pontiff - crucifix swinging in the wind - carries his trademark black bag, with the phrase “values” written across it, in Spanish, in white letters.“We reveal to you a graffiti present in a Roman street nearby the Vatican, ” the Pontifical Council for Social Communications from the Holy See said on its official Twitter page.The 77-year-old Argentine pontiff is renowned for throwing off his security and plunging in the crowds to greet pilgrims, and frequently uses jokes or stories to spread the values of the Church.


The pope is just a keen Twitter user himself, regularly posting tweets by himself feeds in nine languages, which boast significantly more than 10 million followers as a whole.
