Hero to homeless, Irish priest a hit on 'Daily Show with Jon Stewart'

Father Séamus Finn is set to appear on "The Daily Show"

The Irish priest agreed to do the show because he believes that though they might mock him for his position in the priesthood and the financial world, they will also ridicule Wall Street.

“They won't be able to resist taking the Catholic Church to task at least to an extent,” said Marshall. “When Séamus was in the studio they had a photo of him massaged to show him like a game show host emerging from a barrel of cash, the bible, some quotes from scripture, the crucifix, and candles as part of the props and staging. But, he thought, they generally kept their eyes on Wall Street.”

He hopes that the show, when aired, will focus on who is responsible for the broken financial system and discuss attempting to inject some ethical compass into the financial world.

When asked why he robbed banks, the bank robber replied "because that's where the money is, dummy." ... In this country there are more government employees involved in the homeless question than there are homeless ... Why? "Because that's where the money is, ..."

More power to him - Anything in that direction has to be more healthy than the new menaing many priests have given to PP (Once parish priest but now, alas, paedophile priest).

I think it's great that he is a strong enough person to use whatever media at his device to get his point across. Also that his is not so stuffy as to avoid a show like this. Fingers-crossed, he will maybe write a book and get to be seated at the table with Jon himself.
