Line 209:
* In ''[[American Horror Story]] the [[Anti Christ]] subplot is approached from a distinctly Catholic viewpoint including a cameo by the Pope.
* ''[[The X-Files|The X Files]]'' tends to work like this around Scully's faith. In the episode ''All Souls'' the following exchange appears:
{{quote| '''Father Gregory:''' I was her confessor. Divulging her name would violate the code of my faith [screen cuts to Scully's simple cross necklace] ...and yours, I see.}}
* Justified in ''[[Blue Bloods]]'', where the Reagan family are Catholics of Irish descent. Other denominations are present, too; the black reverend who's apparently a longtime thorn in Frank Reagan's side is an indeterminate Protestant denomination.
 
Line 255:
** In "Like Father, Like Clown", Lovejoy co-hosts an ecumenical radio talk show with a Catholic priest and Jewish rabbi (who's Krusty the Clown's father).
** In an episode where it was feared Grandpa Simpson might die:
{{quote| '''Marge:''' Shouldn't we give him the Last Rites?<br />
'''Rev. Lovejoy:''' That's ''Catholic'', Marge. You may as well ask me to do some kind of voodoo dance! }}
** When Bart and Homer convert to Catholicism in "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Guest Star", Marge is given a glimpse of Catholic Heaven (with Mariachi, Pinatas, spaghetti dinners, Irish pubs, Riverdance, and fistfighting) and Protestant Heaven (with [[White Anglo Saxon Protestant|badminton and croquet]], and everyone talking in vaguely [[British Accent|British accents]]). At one point it's revealed that Jesus himself has been hanging out in Catholic Heaven a lot, leading one of the Protestants to cluck, "He's gone native" - which would suggest that ''Jesus'' is a Protestant, despite living 1,500 years before Protestantism existed.
