In a first for nearly a century
the world now has a pope
who will not watch television.
Pope Francis has promised The Virgin Mary
that he would not watch it.
I might be wrong, but he may
have extended this commitment
to leaving others to appear on it,
as much as he can, as well.
I look forward to many other Catholic,
and non-Catholics, following his example.
And lead more wholesome and engaging lives.
It does not mean that they can't listen to radio.
The Patron Saint of Television,
St Clare of Assisi, has so far
proved unavailable for comment.
