Last week, ABC upset many faithful Catholics with the release of the new trailer for their upcoming sit-com The Real O’Neals, which contained some of the most mean-spirited, anti-Catholic material since Family Guy aired the episode “The 2,000 Year Old Virgin” in December last year.
The anti-Catholic spirit on display throughout the three-minute trailer, which mocks everything Catholics hold sacred from sexual chastity to the Blessed Virgin Mary, comes as no surprise to anyone, considering that radical gay activist and Christian-basher Dan Savage serves as one of the show’s producers.
Employing some of the most tired clichés on the books regarding Christianity, the show presents a completely clueless “typical Irish Catholic family” who, of course, don’t practice what they preach and who know absolutely nothing about sex. A family in which the father exclaims “I can’t have meat and potatoes for every meal, not ’til I’m in heaven,” while ordering at a restaurant and in which the mother – played by 80’s veteran Martha Plimpton – puts a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary over the toilet so that people would remember to put the seat down. A family in which the son knows nothing about contraception and the daughter collects money for charity so she can fatten her own wallet.
