Colbert Rebuked with Sr Helena's Great and Terrible Ruler of Horrible Retribution

Sr Helena Burns, fsp, a "Media nun [who] tweets Media Literacy, Theology of Body, Philosophy, [and] overlooked Catholic news" is one angry Bride of Christ. She's channelling Der Pöpenführer's recent rage against her socialist, poverty-fighting sisters and redirecting it at the world's worst Catholic, Stephen Colbert. Why? Well, Mr Colbert made a joke about about Timothy Cardinal Dolan's immaculate unit:
Of course, now some, some critics have said in response to this that if the Catholic church's insurance does not cover Sandra Fluke's birth control, it shouldn't cover Cardinal Dolan's Viagra.

Oh, no, no, no. Oh, no, no, no, that's called celibacy plus. That's how the pros do it. Because chastity is one thing, but it shows true commitment to uphold your vows when you are sporting a crook you could hang a miter on. Oh, wow, see you at mass on Sunday, sir?
Here's her response:

Agree w @FatherJimChern that Colbert went too far vulgarly slamming @CardinalDolan . No one got slammed harder. Oh, except maybe Jesus.

Yes, someone always gets hurt when people get to funnin', and that someone is always Jesus.

Sister Burns continues:

Here's full text of what Colbert said to/about @CardinalDolan @ TIME's 100 most influential people gala. Beyond vulgar.

Sr Helena Burns, fsp ‏ @SrHelenaBurns
Colbert & I are definitely not the same religion. Read his entire short address VERY carefully

Sr Helena Burns, fsp ‏ @SrHelenaBurns
Colbert is younger gen's sacred cow. When sez "I'm Catholic" means he can get away w anything & gives them a pass 2 do same
(Link)

Sr Helena Burns, fsp ‏ @SrHelenaBurns
@williamPriceIII A true Catholic would never say those things. To be Catholic: orthodoxy, orthopraxis and some modicum of charity/respect.
(Link)
Then, Mrs. Christ gets to the real reason Colbert so rudely referred to Cardinal Dolan's Small but Mighty Staff of Strapping Young Congregant Correction--the reason he didn't actually mention in his remarks--Colbert is jealous about the close, Christ-based relationship so many priests have with altar boys:
Sr Helena Burns, fsp ‏ @SrHelenaBurns
If Colbert (or whoever wrote Dolan attack) is ticked over priest abuse scandal-just have courage 2 say so. I'm still ticked, 2.
(Link)
But then, again, maybe it isn't about altar boy abuse. Maybe it's about something far worse:
Sr Helena Burns, fsp ‏ @SrHelenaBurns
I dont think Colbert's Dolan attack IS abt priest abuse scandal. Its abt precious birth control-WHOLE talk pretty clear
(Link)
It's all part of the sad, sorry, plight of American Catholics. No doubt it's something the six Catholic Supreme Court justices face every day.
Sr Helena Burns, fsp ‏ @SrHelenaBurns
Am Caths have 2 b stupidest religious people on planet. World heaps dung on us & we dont even know its dung. We laugh & say tx: more please!
(Link)

Sr Helena Burns, fsp ‏ @SrHelenaBurns
I'm tweetin' angry. Prolly not a good idea. Kinda like tweetin' drunk. Gonna stop now. :]
(Link)

Sr Helena Burns, fsp ‏ @SrHelenaBurns
@williamPriceIII A bit of hyperbole. But really, how COULD Colbert and I possibly be the same religion? I just don't recognize when he spks
