re: #1706 Cato the Elder

And how can you not love a show that shows a priest wiping his nose on a puppy?

Well, the point is partly that the priests in question are hopeless fuckups, and that’s why they’ve been exiled to this little, extremely remote island…to keep them out of trouble.
I don’t in any way consider it to be insulting to Catholics, and clearly the Irish didn’t think so.

But it’s interesting to me that if something like that were produced in the US, Catholics here would completely freak out. Of course the US does have a long history of prejudice against Catholics, so that’s part of it.
