She writes:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

A few years ago you surprised and delighted us all by\u00a0declaring your papist roots in an NPR interview<\/a>. Only, did you know your interview has been and continues to be used by some as justification to vilify Vatican II and the Norvus Ordo mass, saying it\u2019s a perfect illustration of why people leave the Church? I\u2019m sure you didn\u2019t mean for that to happen but the internet being what it is, stuff happens.<\/p>\n

I read that you tried to go back, which is a start, but were deterred by some bad liturgy; which, by the way, would make an awesome musical parody\u2026 Bad liturgy till the day I die. You can\u2019t let Conan and Colbert hold claim to all the Catholic shtick. Also, you should totally have Cardinal Dolan on your show.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After quoting extensively from his NPR interview, and noting some cringe-worthy liturgical moments, she extends an invitation:<\/p>\n

Whatever your past experiences with a particular parish, known that single church does not encompass the Universal Church. There\u2019s a place for everyone. It may be harder to find for some than others, but it\u2019s there and it\u2019s patiently waiting for you to come Home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Go and read it all<\/a>.<\/strong> And yes, I\u2019m looking at you, Jimmy Fallon.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
