It seems that Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert was pretty excited about the Pope's visit to New York City this last weekend. Take a look to see what kind of preparation he made for His Holiness's visit...
Watch the video here from AMERICA, the National Catholic Weekly...

As a former Catholic, I found that hilarious! I bet the Pope would, too…
Colbert could’ve substituted the unbaptized baby for a larger, Italian, Muslim television personality, and it could have worked, too! But, I think Colbert would’ve gotten himself a hernia trying to swaddle a man like that. And the dude would’ve cried louder, too.

“His Holiness??????” I can’t get past the idea that anyone who is a child of God would allow someone else to call them “holy!” All this pomp and circumstance for a man. A sinner, mind you, in need of a Savior. A man given attributes that Scripture only assigns to God… “His Holiness”, “Father”, come on!!! Wake up and smell the cult!
Katrina:
Check out the lyrics used for Pope John Paul II, sung to him at his jubilee celebration before he died:
“Long live the Pope!
His praises sound
Again and yet again:
His rule is over space and time:
His throne the heart of men:
All hail! The Shepherd Pope of Rome,
The theme of loving song:
Let all the earth his glory sing
And heav’n the strain prolong…”
I just wonder at times when “In Vicarus Fili Dei” will become the moniker for real for that office.
