I don’t usually post about books, but when this opportunity came along from Blogging For Books, it piqued my interest. Cardinal Timothy Dolan was recently on The Colbert Report, a show that I don’t personally watch but I know is popular with a lot of people. I’m a practicing Catholic, and my faith is always evolving. I know not everyone agrees with the church’s stance on a lot of things, but I believe that religion is deeply personal, and that identifying with a sect doesn’t necessarily mean you agree with every single decree.
That being said, I watched some of Cardinal Dolan’s appearance and I liked that he was good humored and entertaining. I think it shows that religion doesn’t always have to be stiff and serious. You can watch his interview below:
