Pope Francis tells audience of comedians it's OK to laugh at God

教皇方济各会见100多位喜剧演员，表示“取笑上帝”是可以的

Pope Francis said that laughing at God “is not blasphemy” as he met more than 100 comedians from around the world at the Vatican, encouraging them to use their powerful gift of humour to spread laughter “in the midst of so much gloomy news”. The pontiff, himself prone to the odd quip, invited comedians including Jimmy Fallon, Chris Rock, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Stephen Merchant to the audience at the Apostolic Palace on Friday as part of his attempt to engage with contemporary culture.

教皇方济各在梵蒂冈会见来自世界各地的100多名喜剧演员时表示，取笑上帝“不是亵渎神明”，并鼓励他们“在这令人沮丧的消息满天飞的时刻”利用自己强大的幽默天赋传播欢笑。

时常也会讲些俏皮话。教皇邀请了包括吉米·法伦、克里斯·洛克、茱莉亚·路易斯-德瑞弗斯和史蒂芬·莫钱特在内的喜剧演员于周五在使徒宫进行会面，这也是他与当代文化接触的尝试之一。
