Good luck. Has anyone fought South Park and won? I'm surprised it took 8 years for them to start trashing the Catholic Church, they've taken on everyone else.
I guess you missed the season 5 episode "Red Hot Catholic Love".
You must have missed the pedophile priest episode.
8 years? You missed a very old episode that focused on the molestation of young boys by priests. That episode actually had that practice as somehting enshrined in secret, Vatican scriptures that the Great Spider, who is above the Pope, refused to have changed. It's the same episode where Cartman proves that if you put food in your a$$, you will cr@p out your mouth.
Start trashing?????
They've taken pot shots at the Catholic church many times... between the sex with boys episode, to the the Pope being portrayed as a blathering idiot, to the congregation chanting "DENVER BRONCOS" in the middle of mass on a football Sunday.
They use offensive comedy, and take pot shots at EVERYONE... as a Catholic, I don't get worked up when they take a pot shot at the religion, in fact, often I laugh pretty hard over some of them. Some I find in poor taste, but that goes for nearly every episode of the show.
Lets face it, if you haven't figured out after 8 years of watching a show about 8 year old foul mouthed boys that its going to offend folks... you haven't been paying attention.

You haven't been watching it closely enough. There was one episode (a few years back), where they strongly implied all priests were pedophiles. The Vatican council met to discuss the "Priest Abuse Scandal"--the problem to the Vatican was't that priests were abusing children, just than they were getting caught.
Anyone who watches South Park should be prepared to check their taboos before airtime.
"I'm surprised it took 8 years for them to start trashing the Catholic Church, "
Oh, they've already taken on the RCC in an episode that revolved around the priest-child molestation scandals a few years ago.
I did not see this episode and I am sure it was in bad taste but I just don't get the Catholic obsession with Mary? I have heard more catholics utter the name of Jesus as a frustrated explicative but somehow Mary to them is untouchable..
Oh, they've taken on the church, Catholic or otherwise, many times before.
They've done it before, a number of times, either the Church, or docterine.
There was the episode where Carman was on the cross, and then the episode on pedophiles in the clergy. I believe that there were others as well.
