People are only raging that the Pope definitely hasn't seen Father Ted

He hasn’t watched TV since 1990.

THE POPE ADMITTED today that he hasn’t watched TV in 25 years due to a promise he made to the Virgin Mary.

Listen, if we kept all the promises we’ve made to the Virgin Mary we’d never be able to do anything.

But Pope Francis has kept the vow made in 1990 and hasn’t tuned into the box since Winning Streak started. Can we blame him? Keep in mind Fair City started in 1989…

People just won’t let it lie

Pope said he hasn't watched TV in 25 years,doesn't use Internet and reads the paper once a day for 10 minutes How can we trust such a man?

It might afford him some new career opportunities though

Pope Francis says that he hasn’t watched TV since 1990. He was promptly hired as the head of development at CBS.

It kinda explains so much

I read that the Pope hasn't seen TV since 1990. If I'd never seen any "reality TV" I might also believe that humanity can be redeemed.

He’s just playing it cool

Pope brags he hasn't watched TV in 20 years. Congrats to Catholic Church for electing a hipster.

Think of all the stuff he missed

The Pope hasn't watched TV since 1990. Who will tell him Den and Angie no longer run the Queen Vic?

The real misfortune though, is that he never got to see Father Ted

So Pope Frank @Pontifex hasn't watched TV since 1990. That means he hasn't seen Father Ted. He really should see Father Ted ...

If the Pope watches telly, does he have someone to change channels for him? Surely he should watch Father Ted

@richardosman In this day and age, how can you be Pope without a good grounding in Father Ted?

He didn’t say he doesn’t watch OTHER devices

The Pope says he hasn't watched TV in 20 years, but everyone knows he'll sit on the toilet and binge watches entire TV series on his iPad.

He’ll crack eventually

Guarantee theres a load of Cardinals banging on at the Pope about The Wire. He'll crack & watch it eventually. Everyone does. Everyone does.

But not before getting caught rapid

The Pope hasn't watched TV for 30 years? The cheeky scamp told me he was 'a big fan of the show' when he came on Pointless Celebrities.
