So friends, are you familiar with JEWTASTIC? Jewtastic.com is yet one more reason that I have serious religion envy.
Dude. A site that talks about what cool Jews are doing in pop culture? Rad.
Why the hell don't we have a CATHOLICIOUS? (Well, okay, we do, but clearly it sucks.)
So until someone gets off their kneelers and gets the site together, I will bring you an occasional Catholicious update- a juicy tidbit from time to time on Catholics roaming about freely in the mainstream.
(In return, you WILL NOT post any hater crap like "But they're not really Catholic because they disagree with blah-de-blah-blah!" Seriously. The Church is big enough for everyone. So deal.)
Alright! On to our first edition of CATHOLICIOUS!
Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report:
Yes, my friends, he is a practicing Catholic. Take a deep breath, I know it's exciting. I feel suddenly compelled to order cable television. For those of you in the modern age who actually have cable, you can begin listening intently to subversive little Catholic shout-outs like the above example.
He knows so much about the saints and the church and every once in a while he mentions...the rapture...I've tried to email him and let him know that Catholics don't believe in the rapture, but I guess he never received it.

Stephen has been very Catholic lately. He had a great bit a while back on infallibility and the pope's red Prada shoes. I'll try to find the link. You're tempting me to just go and collect all the great Catholic moments from the show. (I suspect he knows that the rapture isn't Catholic, but it's got such comedic potential that sometimes he just does the generic "Christian" thing.) DC, Comedy Central or iTunes can give you a Colbert fix if you don't want to go all the way to cable!

Haven't found the prada link yet, but here's one from the other night that's just too good not to share. http://www.comedycentral.com/motherload/index.jhtml?ml_video=86945
