I live in a rural area of New Jersey where there is mostly protestants. . the church and school closings, sɛҳuąƖ abuse etc. of vatican II has made a joke out of the catholic faith.
Now Cardinal Dolan of N Y and comedian from comedy central, Stephen Colbert makes a mockery of the catholic faith in public again. Terry Mattingly who is not Catholic writes articles his recent article "humor has always been a part of religious life" was printed in the Today's Sunbeam newspaper in Salem county, New Jersey.
Here is online of same article

As Catholics we should be upset and should be writing letters to the editor.
SSpx has been in pub lic news. When is sspx like Bishop rostand or even bishop fellay going to respond to this. There is a time and place for humor and also some humor is in appropiate at all...
A)
Father Rostand is not a "bishop." B) Fr. Rostand does not have any jurisdiction.
C) Bishop Fellay does not have any jurisdiction.
D) So what good would it do for them to "respond to this?"
Actually, Bishop Tissier de Mallerais would be more appropriate for you to
pick on than +Fellay, because he is residing in Chicago, which is a lot closer to
New Jersey than Switzerland is, where +Fellay resides.
But while residing in Chicago, +de Mallerais has no jurisdiction either. So he is not
responsible for other clerics (outside the SSPX, of course) to be making a good
impression on TV comedy shows.
Cardinal Dolan IS THE AUTHORITY with jurisdiction in New Jersy. We're looking at
the spiritual progeny of Abp. Cushing of infalicitous memory. What do you expect?
If you complain to Rome (step up from Cardinal Dolan) you will get no reply, or,
if you do get a reply, it will be Rome giving Dolan MORE influence, somehow. His
egregious acts will be REWARDED because of your complaint.
This is Diabolical Disorientation, in action.
