This sounds like a quasi-accurate portrayal of much of the Episcopal Church. Why are non-Episcopalians complaining?

Because they realize they're next.

Haven't heard me complaining, have you?

If I was the sort of person who told tales out of school, I could top ANYthing in that TV show with true stories from my former parish (and the parish before that).

Unfortunately, the ECUSA has been a refuge for fruits, nuts, and flakes for years and years. It has just now all come out in the open where it can no longer be ignored.

We're complaining for the same reasons we complain about the heretical & apostate behavior of the Episcopal Church...because it tars all Christians with the same brush. In particular, Christians in the catholic traditions (Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Episcopalian) because to the average unchurched "Joe" out there, there isn't a nickel's worth of difference between any of us. And let's not forget - this is supposed to be a COMEDY, except this isn't good-natured humor that helps us to laugh at our own shortcomings & foibles. You can bet that the weekly "moral" will not be how this family's Christian faith is bringing them through the trials of life in the world. No. I think it's safe to say that, once again, Christians & Jesus, Himself, will be the butt of the joke & the weekly message will be that the Christian family is just as dysfuntional & sinful as the Atheist's family...the main difference being that the Christian family has someplace they have to go on Sunday morning!
