It was fascinating to hear that the Pope had invited a large group of comedians to an audience at the Vatican and I loved the photographs that appeared of him with Whoopi Goldberg. We didn’t hear much about what was said, but in the past the Pope has been heard to talk about praying for a sense of humour. I hope he had enough time to listen to the guests, including our beloved Ian Hislop, as well as address them.

It can be painful listening to a priest modelling a homily on his favourite comedian’s delivery, but some of the techniques for holding an audience surely overlap. Sometimes you hear the same personal anecdote told by different priests, or being used repeatedly by the same priest. I think there may be a classic book of funny stories regularly handed to the newly-ordained, possible title “Rolling in the Aisles”. I often wonder about Jesus’ delivery of his teachings, and especially about how much we might be missing. He must have been enormously attractive to listen to and he must have made people laugh, because otherwise they would not have stayed, as we know they did, long after mealtimes, even in lonely places with the night coming on. But we don’t have any obvious jokes.

How do young people join in the life, mission and leadership of the Church on the synodal path? What are their hopes and dreams for a better world and for a Church that is true to its word?

About 150 children and teenagers ages 4 to 17 who are sheltering in the Latin Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza took up their books and notebooks again in June for the first time since the start of the Israel-Hamas war last October thanks to an effort spearheaded by their parish priest, Father Gabriel Romanelli.

The program had to be suspended for two weeks earlier this month due to Israeli military action but resumed once again on 19 July.

Returning to Gaza in mid-May after being stuck in Jerusalem for the first seven months of the Israel-Hamas war, Romanelli wasted no time. Within a few weeks, he launched the St. Joseph Project to help children reconnect with their studies after missing an entire year of school due to the ongoing conflict.

“I had been thinking about it since the war broke out, and when I returned, I saw that there was a great need for it,” he said. “It is good for children and teenagers to use their time well. Leaving them without study, without structure, leaves them at the mercy of what happens around them.”

Our Story

The Tablet is a weekly Catholic journal which has been reporting on events of significance for more than 170 years. Launched in 1840 just 10 years before the restoration of the hierarchy in England and Wales, it is the oldest surviving weekly journal in Britain.

On succeeding Catherine Pepinster as editor in July 2017, Brendan Walsh said: ‘I will do all I can to cherish and protect its values and the quality of its journalism.’ Among the most widely read columns are View from Rome by Rome correspondent Christopher Lamb, features and comment by Deputy Editor Lorna Donlon, global coverage of the universal church overseen by Foreign Editor James Roberts, plus more from Home News Editor Bernadette Kehoe and others.

The Tablet attracts some of the best writers in the UK and abroad to its pages. These include Christopher Howse, Clifford Longley, Joanna Moorhead, Richard Leonard, Peter Hennessy, Melanie McDonagh, Carmody Grey, Sara Maitland, Marco Politi, John Cornwell, Peter Stanford, Margaret Archer, Eamon Duffy and others. Glimpses of Eden, a weekly column by Jonathan Tulloch, is enduring popular, as is Living Spirit, reflections linked to the liturgical calendar. The Tablet’s editorial viewpoint as expressed weekly in its leaders builds on the legacy of the Second Vatican Council in a manner that is both contemporary and challenging.
