I read yout post #14.

I agreed that the writers were probably going for a dig, but in their defense, if they were just portraying what a person ignorant of Catholic rituals might do when confronted with the unknown, I have a true story that could have come off their page.

Then the best case scenario is that you are defending something you acknowledge isn't funny. Why?

the other option is that you brought up your own situation defending the show with the "un-voiced argument" that it IS funny because it could happen. At least that's what it looks like.

Apparently, among other things I did not know about Catholics, is what thin skins some have.

I sure hope you never watched The Dukes of Hazzard or laughed at Smokey and the Bandit, No Time For Sergeants, Petticoat Junction, Beverly Hillbillies or anything else that portrays southerners as anything other than the urbane dandies that is our true face.
