Pope Francis told a special audience of 100 comedians, actors, and writers, including celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, Jimmy Fallon, and Chris Rock, that it's acceptable to joke about God as long as the humor isn't offensive. He emphasized that comedy should not offend, humiliate, or demean people, using Jewish wisdom and literary tradition as an example. The gathering occurred after the Pope apologized for using an insulting term towards gay people.
