WRITTEN BY: CHIOMA MADONNA NDUKWU

In a revelation that sheds light on his personal discipline, Pope Francis shares that he made a solemn vow 34 years ago to abstain from television viewing after encountering objectionable content.

This decision, made during a moment of moral reflection, has remained steadfast throughout the years, with the Pontiff remarking that he hasn’t watched television for nearly three and a half decades.

While there have been occasional exceptions for significant events such as presidential inaugurations and moments of personal necessity, Pope Francis emphasizes his commitment to his self-imposed ban, citing it as a reflection of his role as a clergyman. This revelation comes to light in his latest book, “Life: My Story Through History,” offering insight into his personal journey and unwavering dedication to principles he holds dear.
