The leader of the Roman Catholic Church, who has made
waves of connections reaching out to disaffected
Catholics and insisting on making the poor a top
priority, hasn't watched TV since July 15, 1990, he
revealed in an interview published in the Argentinian
newspaper La Voz del Pueblo.
The pontiff did not reveal why he gave up watching TV,
except to say he decided it wasn't for him, before
promising the Virgin Mary he wouldn't watch again.
That promise has kept him from watching his favorite
soccer team, Buenos Aires-based San Lorenzo, but he
told the paper a member of his Swiss Guard tells him the
scores and keeps him up to date on the standings.
Pope Francis said he really misses the tranquility of just
walking the streets.
The Pope concluded that he would like to be
remembered as a "good guy" who tried to do good".
