Wasn’t there also one episode where the town priest was officiating a gay wedding?
I spent my high school years in a town with a population of 2000. 7 churches. 7.
Internal consistency in South Park is not necessary. Father Maxi went from straight out murdering people to keep Korn out of town to scary sermons in “Do the Handicapped Go to Hell?” to theological liberalism in “Red Hot Catholic Love” to possibly being bicurious. But then he tried to keep the “fags” out of town, but the rest of the town agrees, and anyway it’s okay.
Parker writes all of the episodes and he does enjoy kicking the Catholic Church (though he does show moments of sympathy too).
Yeah I remember thinking that too. Of course, I had to tell my sister (who fancies herself a good Catholic) that the Catholic Church teaches evolution in its schools and universities. I’m not trying to pick on Catholics though, I know more than one Protestant who attends church weekly but couldn’t actually tell you the specific name of her denomination.
Is it the one with all the well-meaning rules that don’t work out in real life?
Moe was born a snake handler and will die a snake handler.
The Nahasapeemapetilons are Hindu.
Moe has also alternatively been of Polish, Italian, Dutch (complete with clogs), and “half-Armenian” ancestry. (Intentional) consistency issues aside, it wouldn’t surprise me if he were a pathological liar.
And why he no talk a-with his accent no more? Mamma mia!
So how come Apu goes to Reverend Lovejoy’s church? He’s Hindu, but you always see him in the pews.

All Catholic or Jewish? No Protestants? Sounds like the current U.S. Supreme Court.
He’s shown attending Mass with Father Maxi and using a rosary to pray, or at least fiddling with one while praying (though in the instance I remember he was saying a variation on Jesus Loves Me, which iirc isn’t traditionally said on a Catholic rosary).
He did appear to become a stereotypical Evangelical/Fundamentalist hellfire preacher that one time and started Faith + 1 that other time, but, as a poster said above, those were hypocritical endeavors where Cartman was really worshiping the Almighty Dollar. He didn’t actually become a believing Evangelical Protestant.
IIRC, it was the Almighty “Ten Million Dollars.”
