  Episode Notes  
The doll Peter makes says "Any of you kids want to see a dead body." But on Adult Swim it says "Any of you kids want to score some pot?"
 
This is the first appearence of Peters father, Francis, until Season 4's episode "The Father, The Son, and the Holy Fonz". Although, he is seen in "Perfect Castaway", but he does not speak.
 
Peters father is voiced by Colm Meaney, who is known for playing Chief Miles O'Brien on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
 
We find out there is alot of tension between Lois and Francis, because of Lois' religion.
 
  Episode Quotes  
Peter: We all love the bible in this house.
Francis: Really? What's your favorite book of the bible?
Peter: Umm... the one where Jesus swallows the puzzle piece, and the man in a big yellow hat has to take him to the hospital.
 
Peter: Whew, I'm glad we got that worked out.
(knock at the door)
Peter's mom: Peter, guess who needs a place to stay?
Brian: Oh god, No!
Peter: Quick everyone, into the pod!
 
Peter: My dad worked at that factory for sixty years. That's almost eighty years.
 
Lois: He just got up and left? Where would he go?
Peter: I don't know. I just asked him to buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks.
Brian: I don't care if he ever comes back.
(pause)
Brian: I wasn't being cute, I really hope he's dead.
 
Peter: Sometimes it's appropriate to swear
(Peter is in court)
Bailiff: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you god?
Peter: I do........you bastard.
 
Peter: Hey, what are you doing here?
Superman: I killed a hooker. She made a crack about me being faster than a speeding bullet so I ripped her in half like a phonebook.
 
Stewie: You know, I rather like this God fellow. Very theatrical, you know. Pestilence here, a plague there. Omnipotence ... gotta get me some of that.
 
Grandpa Griffin: You're a good woman, Lois. Perhaps you won't burn in hell after all. Maybe you'll just go to purgatory with all the unbaptized babies.
Peter: There you go, Lois, you love kids.
 
Stewie: (reading the Bible) My, my. What a thumping good read! Lions eating Christians, people nailing each other to two-by-fours. I say, you won't find that in Winnie the Pooh.
 
Lois: Kids, your grandfather's ears are not gross and they are certainly not an enchanted forest.
 
Peter: Dad, to be honest, I don't like you either. Aw, jeez, that's a terrible thing to say. I guess I am going to hell, huh.
The Pope: Peter, the good lord said to honor thy father. He never said anything about liking him.
 
  Episode Goofs  
Lois brings in a bowl of popcorn for the Pope in the living room, and a few seconds later it dissapears.
 
Stewie is on Meg's lap when the Pope is in the living room, but when they are examined one by one, Stewie is on the other side of the couch from Meg.
 
There are two pictures of the Griffin kids on the wall before Peter shouts "To the Popemobile!". In the first shot we see Stewie's picture is to the right side of Chris' and Meg's pictures, but then in the next shot it is to the left.
 
Throughout the entire episode, the kitchen door opens to the left instead of the right like usual.
 
Peter's father tells Lois "Maybe you won't go to Hell after all. Maybe you'll just be sent to Purgatory with all the unbaptized babies." Unbaptized babies are sent to Limbo, not Purgatory, a hardcore Catholic like Francis would know that.
 
When Stewie is holding the bible, it sometimes says the Holy Bible, and at other times there is a bright yellow background behind this title.
