When it comes to presence on social networks, Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle may have a huge advantage over other prospective cardinals who may succeed Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Tagle, 55, is the most active cardinal on Facebook, Discovery News cited a social media analysis by the Italian start-up Decisyon.
"Tagle, regarded as 'The Asian Karol Wojtya,' boasts 123,000 Likes. Decisyon established that since Jan. 1, his page has accounted for 52 percent of cardinalss social-media use, producing more than 57,000 posts, comments and shares," Discovery News said.

Tagle has also gained the support of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, along with Austrian cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, it added.
