Stephen Colbert: The Pope Is Coming to Town!

Friday April 11, 2008

Categories: Catholicism

My friend Jim Martin has a great video clip from Stephen Colbert's segment about the pope. In true Colbert, it's priceless. Click here to see it. Jim Martin writes:

There are few people who are more excited about the pope's visit than Stephen Colbert, who actually has tickets to the Mass at Yankee Stadium, as he explains in this clip. Mr. Colbert, as many of our viewers/readers know, is in fact Catholic.

Therese:

I think people offended at your "Why Catholicism is the Best Religion" post would be offended at Colbert, and people who thought Colbert was funny would also enjoy your post.

Interesting that the laughter in the clip was a touch uneasy and not as raucous as usual.

I can take or leave Stephen Colbert. When he's funny, he's a riot, but then he makes baby prostitute jokes and I scratch my head. That's the thing about comedians. Not everything they say is funny, but they throw so many jokes out there that some are bound to hit the mark. I have to admit I liked the nacho sauce joke, though. :)

BTW, I liked your "Why Catholicism..." blog post. If you, a Catholic, can't be excited about your own religion, then who can!?! LOL

I was in the Papal Choir on John Paul's visit to Los Angeles, and I must say that the experience of so many fervent people (we were in Dodger Stadium!) was a very special one. If only that energy could be harnessed for the greater good on a more regular basis.

So who cares if some "people" are offended by Therese's articles and videos about the Pope.

I am not even Catholic and thought both were so funny to the point I send them to my entire e-mail listing.

I want a pair of those red running shoes though..any one know where I can find those??? LOL
