In an interview with Connect 5, Salt & Light Media, Mr. Colbert was asked “How do you balance being a person of faith and also being an informed citizen, someone who is active in the political sphere?”

Mr. Colbert quoted St. Thomas Moore in the movie A Man for all Seasons:

“Those who abandon their personal faith for their public duties, lead their country on a short road to chaos.”

Here are some excerpts from his biography for you to have a glimpse of this gentleman all Catholics must be proud of because he does not only wear his Catholicism in his shoulders, he lives it, night and day:
