Pope Francis has claimed that he hasn’t watched TV since 1990 after making a promise to the Virgin Mary.
The Pope said that he didn’t even watch the matches of his football team San Lorenzo de Almagro back in Buenos Aires, but got a Swiss Guard to update him regularly on match results and league table positions.

Yep. Also by killing capitalism.
I think he studied Chemistry. The periodic table and Das Kapital don’t mix too well.
Poor soluability? I’ll have to check that out. He should know that CO2 below 2% is more of a good thing for the flock...
Good one!

The way I figure it is that if all God's got to worry about is whether a human is watching tv or not, then he's not a very important God so I aint gonna worry about it one way or another.
Not Catholic bashing at all but then where did he hear about Global Warming?
