Pray for Colbert

While today is an important day of prayer for Catholics, tomorrow also is, according to Mastermedia International, which has declared tomorrow the day to pray for the Catholic comedian Stephen Colbert. Mastermedia, which consults media companies on the Christian market, releases a Media Leader Prayer Calendar, featuring a different media leader and cultural influencer for each day. The organization asks that those who order the prayer list "pray that Christians in media will lead godly, exemplary lives and that they will have loving boldness to express their moral convictions in their marketplace."

Fans of The Colbert Report know that Colbert, who plays the part of a conservative pundit on his fake news show on Comedy Central, is not shy about being a "defender of his faith." In one episode, he recited the Nicene Creed in its entirety on air. You can see him discussing the day of prayer with fellow cultural influencer Candice Bergen on his show's website.

Considering Colbert's influence on Wikipedia (he has convinced fans to change entries), he would also appreciate this unique two-source theory for the Synoptic Gospels from the Locust and Honey blog: The sources for Matthew and Luke are Mark and, of course, Wikipedia.
