It was pretty inoffensive as far as a parody of religions go and overall it was fairly pro-Catholic.
The best Simpson episode of the season.

I think most people except for those with the thinnest of skins would find it funny. I did.

I didn't think the episode was anti-Catholic. I do think they take a punch at religion in general at the end of the episode, but what do you expect from Hollywood.

The Simpsons hasn't been funny in many years. It lost any edge it had a long time ago. Groening and FOX just didn't know when to quit while it was still on top.

It didn't skewer religion so much as American's attitudes towards it. I thought it was funny.
