Jesus Christ was the world's first tweeter because his pronouncements were "brief and full of meaning", Vatican cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi said on Wednesday. Christ "used tweets before everyone else, with elementary phrases made up of fewer than 45 characters like 'Love one another'," said Ravasi, the Vatican's equivalent of a culture minister. The cardinal emphasized the importance of clergy making full use of modern-day computer technology. "If a cleric, a pastor is not interested in communication, they are defying their duty," he said. The Vatican has stepped up its presence on the Internet in recent years.
