When self-published novel “The Shack” hit shelves back in 2007, first-time author William P. Young’s Christian drama was met with significant controversy, thanks to its inventive portrayal of the Holy Trinity as an African American woman, a young Middle-Eastern man and an Asian woman. Despite outcry from the exact kind of religious audience the book was pursuing, the book became an unexpected smash hit.

American Idol promised to bring the special guests for its farewell season, and on Thursday’s audition episode, the Holy Ghost himself came down from heaven, inhabited the soul of a single mother named La’Porsha Renae, and delivered a rendition of Radiohead’s “Creep” so explosive that Kim Jong-un was like, “Ok, girl, I surrender.”

While Star Wars: The Force Awakens continues to shoot up the all-time box office list, not everyone is enamored with the latest episode in the space saga. The Vatican's official newspaper L'Osservatore Romano previously gave the film a negative review, and on Tuesday's Late Show, Stephen Colbert examined why the Catholic Church responded so harshly to The Force Awakens.
