Pope Francis Dies Aged 88

File photo - Pope Francis greets American actress Whoopi Goldberg, as he meets with more than 100 comedians from around the world at the Vatican on June 14, 2024, encouraging them to cheer people up and help people see reality with all its contradictions. Comedians are among the most well-loved and applauded entertainers, Pope Francis said, because they ‘have and cultivate the gift of making people laugh.’ Pope Francis told comedians they are in possession of ‘a precious gift,’ that can spread peace ‘within hearts and between peoples, helping us to overcome difficulties and cope with daily stress.’ The pontiff is known for his sense of humor. He likes to crack jokes with people he meets, often telling them with a smile: ‘please pray for me… not against me!’ He has repeatedly emphasized the importance of having a sense of humor, saying it is something that he prays for each day.
