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.

Apparently, among other things I did not know about Southerners, is how intolerant and insensitive some of them are.

We're not thin-skinned. I'm a practicing, conservative Catholic, and I thought Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life" was hysterical. Sure, "Every Sperm is Sacred" is a bit irreverent but they made fun of everyone. The very next scene has the two stuffy Protestants talking about having only one child and how they, just like Catholics, get pregnant every time they have sex . But this "Committed" episode was the outright portrayal of the desecration of our most cherished sacrament. There's room for humor in all institutions, but this was way WAY out of line.

Well, I am from New Orleans, but we only think of ourselves as southerners geographically. As for the shows you meantioned, yes you are right I probably would not enjoy them, on the few examples I did see some of them I thought it was all just foolishness and ignorance desplayed as some great and wonderful thing.

As for the translation of my comment it reads.

"The foolish man always praises is own ignorince."

I meant it in a more general way however when I originally said it. So that arguing with you about this issue is probably a waste of time since you seem intent on defending the show.
