As the leader of the Roman Catholic Church and God's consiglieri on earth, you are one of the most important humans on the planet. You'd imagine that after a hard days Poping that Pope Francis would like nothing more than to kick off his white DM's, slip into his heavenly slippers and kick back to watch some Big Bang Theory.

Incredibly though, he has just revealed in an interview published in the Argentinian newspaper La Voz Del Pueblo that he hasn't goggled the box since July 15th, 1990.

We did some investigating and here's some of the televisual happenings that may just have put the future pontiff off the telly for life!

Could Elton have done it with this chart topper? Slightly ironic if you think about it but in fairness...that hat! 

The out of this world brilliant sitcom show ALF came to tear teasing end in 1990. The future Francis must have been a fan.

1990 was the year that Winning Streak began...maybe his 3 stars never got pulled out. In any case it gives us the excuse to show you the greatest moment on the internet ever.

We think we've cracked it with our final revelation! Pope Francis loves his soccer apparently so considering his beloved Argentina only went and lost to West Germany in The World Cup the week before, it may have instigated the greatest TV sulk in history.

 

Francis also said he really misses the tranquility of walking the streets and, with a laugh, told La Voz he misses slipping into a pizzeria to eat "una buena pizza."

...he clearly hasn't tried Papa Johns.....BOOOM!
