Line 32:
** Her informant is also blatantly breaking the rules of confidentiality regarding the confessional, which is something real clergy could get a ''lot'' of trouble for.
*** And nuns have no access to confessional secrets! Only male priests do and they can't even share them amongst themselves.
* In ''[[Sailor Moon]],'' Hino Rei, a Shinto miko, attends an all-girls Catholic school. Named T*A, an [[Expy]] of the former high school section of a famous women's college in Tokyo, the [[wikipedia:University of the Sacred Heart, Tokyo|Seishin University]] One of its most famous pupils was none other than [[wikipedia:Empress Michiko of Japan|Empress Michiko]] - formerly Michiko Shouda, [[The Ojou|daughter of a non-noble but well-off family]]
** T*A possibly stands for Thomas Aquainus.
* ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' is another [[Church Militant]] series set in the United States, which...sorta fits under this trope. [[Anime Catholicism|It's complicated]].
Line 216:

* The two times that a church has appeared on [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] programming (when Steve Austin and Booker T had a brawl in one, and when Vince and Shane McMahon used one as a backdrop to mock Shawn Michaels' faith), it was a Catholic church, complete with confession booth, font of holy water, etc. Note that the real-life Michaels, and thus presumably the character Michaels, is a Born-Again Evangelical, not a Catholic (although he was baptized Catholic as a baby). As well, the short-lived Reverend D'Von character, while talking like a Southern Baptist, dressed like a Catholic priest, and his entrance video had a very gothic stained-glass motif.
** This might be because the McMahons are of Irish descent.
** Mike Shaw's '''Friar Ferguson''', "The Mad Monk", lasted only a handful of matches before the Catholic church and the New York media raised enough pressure to have him removed.
