Cultural Catholic ALERT: Is This Really a Catholic Comedian? 



It’s always hard to know what to make of those high-profile cultural Catholics who trash Catholic teaching in public at the drop of a hat and receive no – I mean, absolutely zero – pushback from Church leaders. Unfortunately, the number of cultural Catholics in public life today is legion and growing. 



The joke is on them, though, because, as St. Paul said so long ago, God will not be mocked (Galatians 6:7). 



Late-night comedian, Stephen Colbert, is one of those false Catholics who gets away with murder, literally. Recently, he used his CBS The Late Showmonologue <[link removed]>to go on a tirade against the Supreme Court in their review of the Mississippi abortion case that has the potential to overturn the reprehensible Roe v. Wade abortion decision of 1973.







This comedian – who is also on record aggressively defending <[link removed]> Planned Parenthood –  called the Supreme Court the “Supreme Stench” and took deliberate pains to mock his own fellow Catholics on the high court, Justices Thomas, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett, as well as Chief Justice Roberts.



Colbert does all that while at the same time portraying himself as a so-called “devout Catholic” everywhere he goes. In a 2015 interview with GQ magazine he spoke like this:



I was raised in a Catholic tradition… That’s my context for my existence, is that I am here to know God, love God, serve God, that we might be happy with each other in this world and with Him in the next—the catechism. That makes a lot of sense to me.



It’s hard to reconcile the “love and serve God” principles of our faith with the advocacy of abortion. As one writer <[link removed]> noted, Colbert’s real religion is not Catholicism. It’s liberalism. 



Catholics are entitled to differing views about non-essential social and political matters that relate to Catholic teaching, but we are not entitled to advocate for, promote, or in any way laud the crime of abortion. 



Colbert regularly does puff-piece interviews with the likes of dissenting Jesuit Fr. James Martin to stoke the image of the “good Catholic” while at the same time he berates and ridicules those who defend basic Christian/biblical teachings. He called the Alliance Defending Freedom, who oppose gay marriage, a “hate group”. He defamed Rick Santorum when the former senator spoke out against partial birth abortion. 



Mockery may be Colbert’s stock and trade, but God will not be mocked. 



Catholic Action for Faith & Family exists to defend and explain the Catholic Faith in the public forum with prayer and action. Join us in our Storm Heaven campaign and our Faithful Echo programs to get the word out that the Catholic Church and her teaching are God’s blessing upon our nation.
