Letting In Outsiders

Jesuit Michael Kelly, S.J., suggests good humor is to be welcomed. It allows us to see ourselves with greater clarity and in all areas.

When I was asked by The Hoopla whether the lampooning of religion in general and priesthood and Catholicism in particular ‘hurts and crosses the line?’ my answer was simple: when it’s bad comedy! For the rest – the good stuff – it’s welcomed by me as a timely reminder of just how comic a lot of religious carry on can be.
