My friends, this is where I begin to get suspicious. I’m experiencing a nagging feeling which tells me that The Simpsons is perhaps yanking my chain. See for yourselves.
Here Marge is consulting with her spiritual advisors about Homer’s and Bart’s conversion to Catholicism. The suggestion in her daydream is that Jesus “goes native” and sides with the Catholics. But remember, dear friends, where Left Behind author and eminent end-times scholar Tim LaHaye puts the Pope in the whole Rapture/Tribulation experience: that’s right, at the right hand of the AntiChrist!
Hide your children from The Simpsons, dear friends. We cannot have them laughing at things so decidely unfunny as death and the afterlife and Protestantism.
