For one morning, the universal language of the Vatican was laughter as comedians from all over the world met with Pope Francis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For some, it was not their first time meeting the head of the Catholic Church. But what was different was the message he gave the group\u2014one specifically meant for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WHOOPI GOLDBERG More than 100 comedians filled the Apostolic Palace to participate in this intiative promoted by the Dicasteries for Culture and Education and for Communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each greeted the Pope individually, some even getting him to crack a smile. And Pope Francis left them reflecting on the relationship between humor and faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n STEPHEN COLBERT Pope Francis not only gave the group advice but also a physical reminder of the experience: a rosary, which at least one comedian already has a plan for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CONAN O'BRIEN As these comedians return to their shows and podcasts, they bring with them both the Pope's words and the memory of his all-too famous smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n KG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More than 100 comedians filled the Vatican for a meeting with Pope Francis, who not only gave them advice but made them laugh as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":68916,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/u5esl0tSfp0","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/brandomumoristieng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/brandomumoristiint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68919"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68919"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68919\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68921,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68919\/revisions\/68921"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
<\/strong>It was nice to see him again and nice to see him in this environment with comics who very rarely get a lot of love. But him reminding all of us that humor is everything. It really is meaningful and meaningful to us as humans, meaningful to God. It's nice to get a little pat on the back.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>I love this Pope for all his flaws. He's a human being.
And if he thinks comedy could be part of the life of the Church and your role as a good Catholic or a good Christian, I'll think about that. I don't know how to do it. Adding dignity or respectability to comedians never helps, so I'm not gonna take it too seriously. But it was an honor.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>It\u2019s one of those once in a lifetime opportunities. And I did get a rosary bead from the Pope and so that\u2019s a nice thing to have. I can bring that to my mom and that\u2019s going to mean the world to her and then I can take it away from my mom and sell it on eBay\u2026and then keep the cash for myself. So yeah, I\u2019ve got this whole thing worked out.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
