On July 16th, 2013, The Vatican announced that the church will grant “indulgences,” or remission of temporal punishment in the Purgatory, to those who follow Pope Francis on Twitter. According to the decree issued by the Vatican’s sacred apostolic penitentiary, the papal court will offer indulgences to the Catholics in exchange for attending the upcoming Catholic World Youth Day to be held in Rio de Janeiro on July 22nd, or alternatively, for observing the event in real-time through television, radio and social media channels.
