Stephen’s Audience With The Pope | Does God Like My Comedy? 

That's awesome.

That’s fantastic!

Aw, that was sweet! I bet He loved it. Do you still do that? (Staying childlike is a Godly thing to do...)

Steve Martin and David Letterman talking about late fatherhood recently. Letterman said no one told him how much fun kids are. That captures my feelings as a non-father. Sounds like you were one of lateral-thinking little tykes in your day.

I can imagine few things God would find more pleasing.

Absolutely agree 💯🙏🇺🇸🙏👏👏👏❤️👎🇺🇸👍

That makes me think of the real life patch Adam’s. He’s so incredible! Joy really does make our hearts lighter.

@@dash-x "Fools for Christ"? Sounds like renaming Christianity to fit into truth in advertising laws.

@@glenncurry3041humor is important. Eternal hell, where most humans spend eternity, is not funny.

After almost 2,000 years of mass murder, polytheism, and idolatry, the Pope can afford to smile. He's not bad, for a Catholic, but that's already a ridiculously low bar. Said with all due respect to decent Catholics.

Hi Marcella ! I guess with your first and last name you come from an Italian family. Many greetings from Italy ! 🇮🇹👋🤗

why are they barely coming to laughter after all decades of so much secrecy, war, and injustice? What's next? He's riding space X? Okay Does proverbs also mention the devil disguised as an angel? Or does it mention church power, dominance over other beliefs and their greed is International. The Bible# book sold in the world. You would think that a lot less people would die of hunger with all this profit but instead, look at the golden Palace the pope lives in. The first class travel and all the royal treatments he must get. What a shame

Since most people will probably just read that and not bother to look it up for themselves, I want to clarify that what the verse actually says is "a joyful heart is good medicine" (in the NASB). Of course, there are a bunch of different translations, but you can look at 56 different translations on Bible Gateway, and not a blessed one of them uses the words "laughter" or "best".

@@Rookiebatman well, laughing makes my heart joyful, so I'm going to add that translation.

I have nothing against Stephen, but what “ministry” is it you believe he’s doing? 🤔

Better example (which I only know from VeggieTales): “A happy heart is good medicine, and a cheerful mind works healing.” - Proverbs 12:18

As an Italian, I can confirm that this film is still massively appreciated across the country, and I'm a young fan myself! Apart from the cultural background, I think the voice acting was another key factor of the movie's success in Italy, since it did a great job in recreating the wit and the charisma of the original performances.

The movie “Sister Act” has been shown a lot of times on Italian television, and it is always occasionally broadcast.

Also some Italians (I mean ME) are in love with hip hop and can’t miss the wonderful young Lauryn Hill ❤️

@@beatrixkiddo7083 Un momento, quindi c'era anche Lauryn Hill nel film?

That's wonderful. Just, absolutely and totally wonderful.

Well said.

💯!

Levity is the best cure for tragedy.

Preach!!

Or maybe we would have dragged that orange clown out of the WH way back when and we would be done with all this craziness a long time ago.

He is the best host . So grateful ❤

Especially after they tried to walk it back to say he was talking about crime… as a felon.

I thought it was Wisconsin that he insulted?😅

It's terrible, folks. Chicago's terrible. Ever heard of Alfonse Capone?

I thought it was New York City that he insulted?

@@fartingduck5316 The DNC is happening in Chicago. The OP is saying Biden isn't stupid to crap on the DNC host city.

Amen!!

❤

What does God have to do with any of this? 🤔

@@eurowan My thoughts exactly. There's enough baptist god in the US at the moment without dragging another bigoted sect of the christian church into the mix.

@@eurowan ummm....pope might have something to do with it...and the rest is just thanking God for Stephen and Jimmy!

She stills thinks she is a nun, someone needs to tell her it was a character in a couple of middling movies.

He blows...In a good way.

They were having so much fun! I am hell of jelly!

That is one cute adorable baby José​@@josedejesus6134

And his family emigrated to Argentina from Italy

Also the Pope 99% of times speaks Italian, at that meeting he spoke Italian.

Well, it really depends on what you mean by “fluent.” Obviously, he’s fluent in his native Spanish However, as an Italian I can assure you ,that while he can speak Italian, it is heavily accented, and at times difficult to understand. While he is able to read liturgical Latin, very few priests in the Vatican, including the pope, can actually speak Latin since it is a dead language. Secondly, having the ability to say a few words in some of the languages you mentioned does not make him”fluent,” even if with some effort he can read a short prepared speech in those languages. Although Francis did study English for a short period of time, he was never fluent and really dislikes the language. Several years ago when he spoke to the United States Congress, he practiced over three months for his short speech which he delivered in halting English.. Both when he travels and has meetings with foreign dignities who do not speak either Spanish or Italian, the pope always has an interpreter with him. In the last meeting Pope Francis had with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in the Vatican which was shown on Vatican TV, Francis had an interpreter to translate from Italian to English. The suggestion that Pope Francis is “fluent “in English or any of the other languages which were mentioned, is prosperous . Unfortunately, unlike past popes, Francis is not a polyglot.

Basically Gods hitmen

I got genuinely mad at that joke. Gotta rep my Swiss Heritage.

We are the only four Americans who know what the Swiss Guard is, I’m afraid.

@@SchoolforHackers five. and they would only take offense if they were paid to. they take their jobs seriously.

@@SchoolforHackers I did...but I had never seen a picture before.

What a Caananite observation!

can't you fix captions now?

🤣🤣

You're not the only one! Found it extra funny on account of this being a more religious centered clip.

@@OCW55Having the munchies while watching a cooking show would be rough. More of a drinking game. Try to match Child shot for shot. If you make it ten minutes, it counts as a win.

Saw him a5 the Beachland in Cleveland!!!

Who Dat!

Where y’at!

No contradiction there, then

@@Lazy_Sundae why the comma and the use of the word "then" A question mark would have been, sufficient?

@@michaelrobson3460 Nope, the comma is correct, unlike the one you placed between 'been and 'sufficient'. Incidentally, sentences start with capital letters, questions end with full stops and indicative sentences end with capital letters. You're welcome.

@@michaelrobson3460 PS; regarding your opening post, 'God' starts with a capital 'G' (even though he doesn't exist); and you need to pick either a single inverted comma or a double one and stick with your choice, instead of opening a quote with a single and closing it with a double. (And to reiterate, sentences end with full stops.) You're welcome.

@@Lazy_Sundae Yeh, could you help me with the spelling of "pedantic" too?

Her voice isn’t quite so deep tho

Do you know who “god” in the Bible is?

My favorite used to smoke a cigar.

He sounds like Brian Stack, which is good enough for me.

@@eurowan yes I do. That’s why I spelled the name in lower case letters and used quotation marks in my comment. I was referring to a role portrayed by a man in a movie. Not the Biblical Lord God.

I'm just glad it went better than that meeting with John Paul! ("This Week In Religion" sketch, from the early Daily Show years)

My condolences.

Nah. If he was Catholic and on his honeymoon, he got a special blessing.

@@lenawagenfuehr53 Nope, Jainist turned nonpracticing Methodist (protestant) and he'd been married for decades.

0.1% of what? Doesn’t matter because I won’t be coming back. But you could say what, otherwise people don’t know what you’re saying either. 0.1% of the rich? Or the smart? Or the most special because of a particular topic or subject. Is it a sport, a musical instrument? 0.1% could be anything, everything or nothing.

So what you are saying is no ordinary scum could ever hope to get close to this man. Cool. I’m also not interested in him getting close to me. Considering what the Catholics have done to children, all over the planet, for decades.

"Man plans, God laughs" is an ancient Jewish proverb, not an Irish one.

@@SanctusPaulus1962 We Irish consider ourselves one of the lost tribes, lol.

Thank you for that. My dad is also, and he's a jerk about it. Respect goes a long way.

Not all of us have a god complex because of our atheism, oh the irony!

I am an atheist as well.. and I absolutely appreciate the big deal. Just from the history and anthropological sense, it is quite something. Especially if you are a believer, I can see how much bigger th deal gets.

As an atheist I would love to witness Ricky Gervais arguing with the man in the ridiculous outfit

@@beatrixkiddo7083 I'd pay money to watch that.

It's a disgusting sense of humour, to be sure.

... well, maybe an exception can be made here. I'll ask my uncle Peter.

No.

@@mauijttewaal ... (don't be sure, you're not God).

"God's representative on Earth"? Why would an omnipresent being need an earthly representative? I mean if there actually were such a thing as a god.

@@roberthill799Lighten up, you’ll live longer.

@@roberthill799 There are many gods. For some the omnipresent being you mention, for others money, for others the orange julius, and for you apparently, being what the Italians call ritardo (which is not derogatory there bc it’s the words on train platforms for delayed).

​@@mellocello187He made a good point though

It’s disappointing when someone who loves Tolkien that much does not realize how awful Jackson is.

Trombone Shorty in the house!

I forgot about those! You're right, time for a revival.

What is that? I’m Italian and I had a catholic education. I know both about that… Is it like the midnight mass at Xmas?

​@@beatrixkiddo7083its a comedy bit Stephen used to do where he starts by saying he's so busy he can't get to confession often enough so he asks the audience to hear his confession. Then he pretends to be sitting in a confessional and admits to a weird list of stuff that isn't exactly sinful (but he does feel bad about them!). It's always off beat, ironic, sarcastic, and funny (with a lot of political & self-deprecating humor). He usually manages to have an alcoholic beverage hidden in the confessional as well... At the end he asks the audience to absolve him and they forgive him in unison. It's hard to describe but it was one of my favorite bits too!

There’s an excellent book you should read called Bullies and Saints by John Dickson that you might find really helpful.

Lapsed Catholic here - I think it's important to look beyond history, at the church today and what it's doing today to atone for its past and serve better in the future. I think they've done incredible things lately, though they've still got plenty of work to do. Like Il Papa likes to say, "Who am I to judge?" If you knew my history you might judge me harshly, but then you'd never know me, only who I was in the past.

The Church’s history contains saints and sinners and everything in between

It's a great tip. Makes cakes very moist

Evie couldn't get the time off work & Jimmy's wife had to stay. With their son who has special medical needs. Both their Mom's are too old to travel that far. So is Jimmy's Dad & Stephen's Dad is dead, so they took their next available relatives with them, their sisters.

Stephen's mom is dead.​@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980

Evvie is Presbyterian, so meeting the Pope would mean more to Stephen's sister

Glad I’m not the only person who actually liked Big Furry Hat. The Late Show was def going through growing pains in those early years, but it had its charms too.

I miss big furry hat too!!!

Conservative "jokes" are cruel, making fun of the lost and least and the poor and the marginalized whom Jesus loves. Conservative humor does not make God smile.

GOP humor sucks. Only T. is funny!😅

Well,God has been busy the last little while. Lol

@@justmenb3379 I say he does as much as our Republicans in the House! 😉

When he mentioned it, I immediately took note to google a recipe using sour cream to find out the amount to add! Also I have a friend who will add a box of pudding (dry of course) to regular cake mix when she didn’t feel like making a cake completely from scratch. It made it more moist, flavorful and folks thought it was scratch. Also doesn’t hurt to have a reputation as a baker in advance. 😜

Found a recipe for sour cream pound cake. Super easy! 1/2 cup sc But Google if interested 😊

No more than a cup.

​@@debbiedoodiedandi this is The Way.

Which would explain a lot.

Way better than a Trump Shorty if you believe Stormy Daniels.

And, Start Trek: Next Generation where the character originated I believe.
