Stephen Colbert and Cardinal Timothy Dolan met before an audience to discuss faith and humor, moderated by Rev. James Martin. It was closed to the press, but what I wouldn’t give to have been there. Instead all we have is second hand accounts, like the following gems:
—
According to Gallicho’s tweets, a question from the audience included, “How to maintain joy when religious leaders spread hate, esp. with respect to homosexuality?”
Gallicho later tweeted that Colbert said: “If someone spreads hate, he’s not your religious leader. Keep your own joy.”

Another zinger came in exchange between the cardinal and the comedian. Dolan asked, “Do you feel pressure to be funny all the time?” Colbert fired back: “Do you feel pressure to be holy all the time?”
