VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Vatican said on Friday that it had asked Instagram to investigate how a "like" attributed to Pope Francis' official account ended up on a photo of a scantily clad Brazilian model.

The "like" was discovered earlier this week by one of the 2.4 million people who follow Natalia Garibotto on the photo and video sharing site.
