Stephen Colbert chimed in on the White House-Catholic Church’s spat over birth control Monday evening, declaring the Obama administration of “launching a vengeful crusade” against the church.

“You see to Catholics, sex isn’t two drunk strangers getting their freak on at closing time,” he said. “It is the mystical union of two people inspired to create new physical life while God adds a soul in a divine and ineffably beautiful three way.”

“So when you use contraception, you are not only sining, you are cock blocking the Almighty. I’ve got God’s back on this one.”
