Stephen Colbert supports abortion rights. He supports same-sex marriage. He has described death as the “dispersion of the self into some other greater being,” a statement one theologian calls closer to pantheism or New Age spirituality than to Catholic teaching. And Father James Martin says Colbert is one of the best Catholic evangelists alive today.

John-Henry Westen challenges the premise that personal warmth and cultural visibility can substitute for doctrinal alignment. Colbert is beloved. He is funny. He reaches millions. None of that matters if what he communicates is not the Catholic faith.
