Jesus Would Be on Facebook if He Lived Today, German Priest Says

Head of Germany's Catholic Church, Robert Zollitsch, has given everyone celebrating something new to think about the Christmas story. Zollitsch told a German newspaper that if Jesus were alive today, he'd be Facebook friends with all of his followers.

"Fundamentally all media are suited to bring the word of God to the people," he told German paper The Local. "Jesus would certainly today be on Facebook and Twitter."

Zollitsch's statement comes after the Catholic Pope joined Twitter (@Pontifex) earlier in December, and has seven different language accounts.
