Pope Francis has revealed in a new interview his unique papal way of life
The Roman catholic Pontiff sat down with Argentinian newspaper La Voz Del Pueblo, and among his more surprising admissions is that he hasn't watched television since 1990, after promising the Virgin Mary he wouldn't.
His reasoning for swearing off the medium is simply that it "is not for me," the 78-year-old told the paper. He also explained that he never uses the Internet and relies on a member of the Swiss guard to find out if his hometown soccer team has won or lost.
When asked what he misses about his previous life, he gave two answers: freedom and pizza. "To go outside," the pontiff said. "That much I long for the tranquility of walking though the streets, or to go to a pizzeria to eat a good pizza."
When the interviewer pointed out that he can request delivery to the Vatican, Pope Francis insisted, "But it is not the same."
He also revealed that he reads a newspaper Italy's La Repubblica, and not the official Vatican City newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano – but only for 10 minutes at a time. "I leaf through," he said.
Wow!! Pretty difficult for some of Us, Like you,yes you, lolxx!!
