I OFTEN WONDER...

Has anyone ever gotten this gut feeling that comedian Stephen Colbert really is Catholic and loving it? Or is it just another comic act? The more I watch him, the more I think the former. After all, he once recited the Apostles Creed on his show, knows The King of Glory enough to do a comic dance to it, albeit really goofy, and this quote (Red Sox cap tip to our friendly neighborhood Catholic Caveman):
But I'm not speaking against [Presidential Candidate Gov. Mitt Romney] being a Mormon. In fact, I consider all religions equal. And by equal, I mean they're all tied for 2d place behind Catholicism. (emphasis mine)

The other modern comic I really like these days, btw, is Larry the Cable Guy. IMO, he's THE funniest living redneck. He tells it like it is and will make it perfectly clear that the holiday that falls on December 25th is CHRISTMAS!

THE SERPENT TRICKED ME INTO IT!!!

From Catholic blogdom's favorite cartoonist, Paul Nichols, in response to this really bad bad Mass put on by Richard ("Roaring Nutcase") Rohr during MahonyFest '07.

Maybe someone can submit Fr. Rohr's name (and Cdl. Mahony's as well) to Carlos Mencia for a "DE-DA-DEE" award. Even better, here's a perfect "On Notice" board, a la Stephen Colbert:

LET'S PLAY "FIND THE ITEMS"

Check out Dad29's "On Notice" Board, and tell me which TWO of my favorite expressions that I often use (even on this blog) appear on his board. I KNOW y'all know ONE of them. No cheating! ;)

Jumping on the Bandwagon.....

Pennington's Notice Board

So you want to put "Roman Catholic" back into Church? Notice these...

YOU'RE ON NOTICE!

To all of the following, you have been put on notice, with a little help from Stephen Colbert!
Hat tip to Gerald, who got it from Amy Welborn. I had to get two boards. One wasn't enough!

You can make your own "On Notice" boards as well.

STRANGERS ON NOSE CANDY

I'm still trying to recapture where I had seen this, but for those who remember the clip with Steve Colbert dancing around what appears to be a classroom (Nick's original post here) while singing The King of Glory Comes, someone had come up with a good point (someone please come clean and I'll gladly update this post with a proper hat tip) - that Steve Colbert is actually Catholic, and he did the dance to prove just how foolish liturgical dance really looks.

But still, just imagine that classroom that he did the dance in being full of elementary Catholic school students? Aye-aye-aye!

UPDATE 7/26/06: I found the hat tip recipient! It's Gerald! This is actually what he wrote (ok I was somewhat close):
Stephen Colbert has obviously suffered through liturgical dance and "contemporary" church music...
