Kathyrn Lopez has an interesting piece on Stephen Colbert and his Catholic identity. I have to say that I find it refreshing because it’s not political. I wish we could find more Catholic discourse in this vein.

Lopez links to Colbert’s recent appearance on “The View” Barbara Walters brings up his Catholic faith and his family. Rattling off the names of his siblings earns him an applause. Upon which he comments, “I hope that applause is for my mother’s womb.” If you listen carefully, you can hear one of the “ladies” exclaim, “Oh my goooooood!” Typical, absurd, and sadly laughable.

Which brings me to an interesting Tim Russert interview of Colbert from several years ago. I really like Colbert’s comments on laughter as well as his comments on how he communicates with his children.

And my favorite is Colbert’s take on liturgical dancing:
