Pope Francis has revealed that he has avoided the temptation of television since July 1990, reports the Independent

The pontiff said he gave up TV after promising the Virgin Mary he would abstain from it. 

“I have not watched TV since 1990. It's a promise that I made [to] the Virgin of Carmen on the night of July 15, 1990. I told myself: 'It's not for me',” he said in an interview with Argentine newspaper La Voz del Pueblo that was reported in the Independent.

The Pope also revealed that he does not use the Internet and spends only 10 minutes a day reading a newspaper, Italy's La Repubblica, tacitly admitting that he avoids the Vatican papersL'Osservatore Romano and Avvenire.
