The screenshot of the misplaced Instagram “like” surfaced on social media on November 13 but the photograph was unliked on November 14, after the Catholic News Agency (CNA) asked the Holy See Press Office for comment. The controversial picture showed Garibotto dressed in a revealing tartan ‘skirt’ and suspenders leaning against a locker exposing her body parts.
The image was captioned: “I can teach you a thing or two 
can’t wait for you guys to see my October shoot.”
Sources close to the Vatican press office confirmed to Catholic News Agency that the pope’s various social media accounts are managed by a team of employees and that an internal investigation is underway to determine who “liked” the contorversial post.
Natalia Garibotto with username, Nata Gata took to Twitter afterwards and said, “At least I’m going to heaven.”
CNA reported that COY Co., Garibotto’s management and publicity firm, used the papal account’s like for publicity purposes, posting on its account Friday that the firm had “received the POPE’S OFFICIAL BLESSING.”
