Recap
The parents of South Park are a bit unnerved when Father Maxi announces a Young Men's Catholic Retreat. With all the news of priests molesting little boys, the parents agree now to let their kids go. Becoming paranoid, they bring in a counselor from out of town to ask the children if Father Maxi ever touched them inappropriately. The boys are confused about the "talk," especially when the counselor asks them if Father Maxi ever put anything in their butts. They have no idea what she means, since Father Maxi is an honest priest and never did anything appropriate. While the boys are mulling this over, Cartman arrives with a fantastic idea: He believes that if you put food up your butt, it'll make you crap out your mouth. The boys, especially Kyle, dismiss this as ridiculous. Meanwhile, all of the parents in town decide to become Atheists, due to all of the sexual molestation stories surrounding the church...Read the full recap

Martha Stewart: (on TV) In the past few days we've all heard of the healthy benefits of inter-rectogestion, and so making food that can be inserted into the ass is essential. Now, everyone knows that some foods are simple to shove up the ass - puddings, soups, raisins... this is a nice raisin pudding right here - but we can also still eat our favorite foods. What we're gonna do today is prepare a Thanksgiving turkey for inter-recto. Now, the key to shoving a turkey up your ass is first wrapping it in string, keeping the pointy wings neatly at the side.
Stuart McCormick: Now come on everybody, just because a few priests of the country have been corrupted doesn't mean that all priests are child molestors.
Mr. Tweek: Well sure that easy for you to say, your son's dead. But those of us with alive children need to make sure that Father Maxi is on the up and up.
