Steven Colbert on Satire
August 23rd, 2006
courtesy Sojourners (via email):
“I love my church, and I’m a Catholic who was raised by intellectuals who were very devout. I was raised to believe that you could question the church and still be a Catholic. What is worthy of satire is the misuse of religion for destructive or political gains. That’s totally different from the Word, the blood, the body, and the Christ. His kingdom is not of this earth.”
- Stephen Colbert, of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

Beautiful! An aside, but in the vein of Catholicism - have you read anything about the Womanpriest movement?
