The Vatican is investigating how the official Instagram account of Pope Francis “liked” a photo of a model in a schoolgirl outfit.
A spokesperson for the Vatican told NBC News on Friday that it was seeking answers from the popular social media app.
“We are studying what happened with the help of the competent office at Instagram,” said Matteo Bruni, director of the Vatican Press office.
A team runs the pope’s social media accounts, but the Vatican believes the “like” came from an outside source.
