Stephen Colbert vs. Jack White: Catholic Throwdown:

Stephen Colbert and Jack White (the rock guitarist) try to one-up each other in a game of Catholic trivia. Advisory: the language is appalling. If you can get past that, there are some amusing moments. The most telling thing, of course, is how little either of them actually seem to know about Catholicism, sad to say. For example, Jack White says at one point that person conceived in the Immaculate Conception was Jesus, and Colbert says at another point that the Virgin Mary's mother was Elizabeth. Ah well ... all in the name of entertainment.

This is testimony why good liturgy is so important. They remember the music at mass but obviously are weak in knowledge of their faith. In other words, stop singing protestant hymns at mass, they send a protestant message.

And the Mass music Jack White remembered is totlly forgettable.

It's a "thurible", not a "censure".

I am a bit confused with the "Colbert is a devout Catholic" thing. I sincerely hope that he really is.
