Jimmy Carter Tells Stephen Colbert: The Bible Is Misused to Subjugate Women
interview starts after about 5min.
The audience watching the taping of The Colbert Report went wild cheering and began chanting the 39th president’s first name.
Carter appeared on the Comedy Central program to promote his new book, “A Call To Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power.”
He told Colbert that he’d written a letter to the pope about the abuse of women, and he said the pontiff replied that he agreed with many of the former president’s concerns.
“He said that in his opinion and the future years, women needed to play a much greater role in the Catholic Church than they were playing now or have played in the past,” Carter said.
Carter said discrimination against women by Christians was puzzling to him.
