Pope added

1. Good humour does not offend, humiliate, or put people down according to their flaws. There are many examples of good humour in Jewish literature.

2. What I am saying is not untrue. When you (artists) try to bring smiles to the faces of countless people, you automatically make God smile too.

Editorial Perspective

If Christians listen to the Pope and make fun of Jesus Christ or Mother Mary, that is their view, however, if anyone insults the Deities or Saints of Hindus, Hindus will never accept it !
