* ''[[Kaitou Saint Tail]]'' is a Catholic schoolgirl, her base of operations is a Catholic church, her informant is an "[[Nuns Are Mikos|apprentice nun]]", and all the victims that she helps are also Catholic. Given that they're in a predominantly ''Shinto'' country, it's odd that no one seems to notice.
** 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 highschoolhigh 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 168 ⟶ 167:
** An exception is Stella of ''[[CSI: NY]]'', who is apparently Orthodox—she makes the Sign of the Cross top, down, right, left (Catholic is top, down, left, right).
*** However, this was depicted as happening in a Catholic church.
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]](2004 TV series)|The 2004 ''Battlestar Galactica'' reboot]] goes further, even the pagans are kinda Catholic, at least with Brother Cavil. He is a priest, he hears confessions in "The Plan" etc.
* Likewise, Booth, the token Christian on ''[[Bones]]'', is Catholic, and holds a deep-seated dread of nuns. Somewhat justified in that the actor, David Boreanaz, actually is Catholic, and was raised Catholic and went to Catholic schools. Also justified in [[Nuns Are Spooky]].
** Booth is also an Irish name.
