Pitiful, just pitiful.
That was my reaction on watching this five-minute clip from The Colbert Report, in which host Stephen Colbert talks with Garry Wills about his new book, Why Priests? A Failed Tradition. The book was published last week.
Colbert is a Catholic but not, so far as I can tell, a completely orthodox one. Still, he professes...
"The work of priestly formation these days must involve a strong catechetical component since so many of our people have been deficiently formed. The resources you provide are allowing the Church to do a better job in preparing Catholics to know and defend their faith more effectively."
"If I am right, Thy grace impart still in the right to stay. If I am wrong, Oh, teach my heart to find the better way."
