The audience, jointly organized by the Vatican's Dicastery for Culture and Education and Dicastery for Communication, with more than 100 entertainers will take place in the Apostolic Palace at 8:30 a.m., and is intended to "establish a link" between the Catholic Church and such artists, the press release noted.

Promoting joy, peace, and hope The upcoming meeting, it noted, aims to "celebrate the beauty of human diversity ... [and] promote a message of peace, love and solidarity". It "promises to be a moment of meaningful intercultural dialogue and sharing of joy and hope."

“James Martin”

Everyone knew that James Martin SJ was a joke, and good buddies with the likes of Colbert, but this is the first I’ve heard that the man is classified as a comedian.

All liberals, with the possible exception of Chris Rock. Gaffigan purports to be a clean comic, but I understand he has a bad case of TDS.

Chris Rock I acknowledge is a comedian.

Whoopi is not prominent except for being an idiot. She declared she wanted Dr. Jill Biden as her doctor because she was so great but wanted her to be the US Surgeon General.

Her fat rolls especially in the hips and rear end areas are “prominent.” I admit.

Checked the thread at top and it is not from the Babylon Bee.

Pope Francis probably failed at his desperate basement comedy cavern pass-the-hat appearances. Took up the papal life as second best.

Pope will try his new joke on the pros:
“Did you hear the one about the colored boy, the Jew, the llama and the TV network executive who walked into the bar when AOC was still bartending”?

(Mumbling comedian under his breath: Yeah, I heard it. It was a doozy.”)

So the Pope has an audience with a bunch of comedians so he can tell them to be more Marxist.

What’s the point?

The pope seems to have no sense of humor, so these people may be the perfect participants.

They are not comedians. They are far-left propagandists who use biting, mean, vicious personal attacks on conservatives to get their leftist message across.
There is some laughter, but it’s not humorous laughter.

The Pope got his autograph book signed by Pelosi and Joe Biden. He was nervous about asking but a couple of Cardinals nudged his back.

Imagine having an audience with Whoopi herself. Must humble him to think about it.
