Father Sean

azel Father Sean' is a Roman Catholic priest who ministers at St. Jerome's Catholic School. He was the priest who was educating Bart Simpson in the Catholic Church throughout the episode.Bart was sent to St. Jerome's after being falsely expelled from Springfield Elementary. On his first day of school at Saint Jerome's, Bart is penalized by a Nun and told to hold up two dictionaries. ( in order to feel some of the pain the Jesus Christ felt during his crucifixion)After finding Bart in the hallway, Father Sean regaled to Bart how he converted to Catholicism after a drunken fight with his father.After the fight, badly injured and lying against a lamp post, St. Peter appeared to Sean and told him to reform from his rebellious ways. Father Sean gave Bart a comic book of the various saints in order to get Bart interested in the Roman Catholic faith. At home, Bart begins to show to his family his new found religious beliefs, which worries Marge. Homer, at Marge's request, goes to the school to talk to Father Sean. Upon seeing the pancake dinner/bingo night, Homer also becomes infatuated with the Catholic church, and asks to celebrate the sacrament of confession. After realizing that he could not receive absolution without being a catholic, both Homer and Bart decide to become Catholics.Meanwhile,Marge (worried she might be alone in Protestant Heaven while Bart and Homer are in Catholic Heaven) seeks help from Rev. Lovejoy and Ned Flanders, who agree to stop them. While they are learning about First Communion, Marge, Rev. Lovejoy, and Ned capture Bart and bring him to a festival for The Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism. At the festival, Bart is told to listen to the band quiet riot (pious riot after the conversion) and play paintball, which eventually brings him back to The Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism. Homer and Fr. Sean arrive with a motorcycle, shoot Marge's hair with some paintball bullets and engage in a Mexican standoff with Ned and Lovejoy. Bart says it is stupid that all the different forms of Christianity are feuding. The two groups agree to both fight monogamous gays and stem cells and to take Bart's idea to heart. The character was voiced in the episode by Irish actor Liam Neeson. He openly criticizes hinduism.
