Maybe he was born Catholic.

There is something deep within we born to Catholicism that is almost reflexive. We may leave the Faith (for innumerable reasons) but we never forget what She stands for.

We are quick to defend Her as a beloved sister.

I know it sounds strange, but it would be wrong to pretend it isn’t there.

I have had many of the RCC here invite me back in. For many deep spiritual reasons I so far have not been able to tread that path.

Today we celebrated Jesus arisen... and, as with all matters of faith, it is because God tells us this in our hearts.

He’s not a conservative which casts doubt on the entire article.

I’m tired of liberals who are conservative when its good for them but not any other time.

Screw them and screw Colbert.

Interesting post. I went to Catholic school thru 12th grade and was a good Catholic for a long while. I did leave the Church, but the Church is still a strong influence on me.

I remember when Pope John Paul II died and I was glued to the TV for the funeral. A friend asked why did I care anymore, since I was no longer Catholic, but I did care. I am grateful for my Catholic education and moral foundation.

Still not sure Colbert is what they are making him up to be for the masses.

Amen! Today it is Catholic, Christian, Orthodox who rejoice as one at the Risen Christ! Our denominations matter not! Happy Easter!

He is unashamed and unrepentant in his profession of his Catholic faith. It amazes me to have seen him more than once invite self professed lapsed Catholics to “jump back in the waters fine”. There really is not a lot of that going on in the main stream media these days. People may not like his comedy or his politics but his defense of his faith is exceptional.

Colbert is a pro-abort, pro-queer “marriage” Catholic in Name Only.
