According to Osho, he laughs at the pope not out of personal antagonism but to expose the absurdity of papal infallibility and borrowed authority. History itself refutes the claim—one pope burned Joan of Arc as a witch; centuries later another sainted her. Claims of representing Jesus are baseless given a 300‑year gap. Laughter punctures arrogance, superstition, and unexamined belief.
He laughs to show that the pope’s “I can’t be wrong” and special authority are silly and disproved by history.
