In an effort to keep Catholics from having a cow, Fox and the producers of The Simpsons have decided to postpone a religion-skewering episode until after the new pope is inaugurated.
The typically irreverent episode, titled "The Father, Son and Holy Guest," features the voice of Liam Neeson as a priest, who inspires Bart after he gets expelled from Springfield Elementary and lands in a Catholic school. Hijinks ensue.
Fox decided to move the episode back to May 15 after the Apr. 2 death of Pope John Paul II. The network had figured the date would give plenty of time for a new pope to be elected. Indeed, Pope Benedict XVI was chosen on Tuesday and will be inaugurated this Sunday.
