	Season 21 / Episode 4: - Treehouse of Horror XX Marge Simpson: Let us in. We have the chosen one. Soldier: Welcome, son. To survive, all we must do is eat your flesh. Marge Simpson: Hold it right there, bub. What kind of civilized people eat the body and blood of their saviour?
	Season 21 / Episode 4: - Treehouse of Horror XX Krusty the Clown: Oww! That's my cash checking arm, you idiot!

FACT: Marge asks, "what kind of civilized people eat the body and blood of their savior?" Cut to Rev. Lovejoy, who becomes uncomfortable as the punchline of this jab, apparently as one who believes this. Reverend Lovejoy is a Protestant, not a Catholic, and thus would not believe that the bread and wine of Christian communion are anything more than reminders of the ultimate atoning sacrifice of Christ (See 1 Corinthians 11:23-26). Catholics and E. Orthodox traditions tend to be the proponents of transubstantiation, believing the bread and wine actually become Christ's flesh and blood. This is a 12th century idea not found in scripture, thus would not be believed by Rev. Lovejoy.
