I am a practicing Catholic and have been for 58 years, since I was a baby. I was not at all offended by this episode as I believe most Catholics would not be either. The truth is, this is a COMEDY show , so it does not need to be a factual representation of how a church service is conducted. I really dont care if the ushers count the money in the back of the church for the sake of bringing the story together. I don't remember this show as being advertised as a historicaly accurate portrayal of a church, so they can do whatever they want. If anyone gets upset about it they should really be watching a documentary or something. Also, my dad was just like Ray until he retired. Never went with us to church. So yes it could happen that way and probably did a lot.
Good job writers! It doesn't make a mockery of the church or demean it in any way. I loved it.
