wow, this is such a great perspective. i’d never made these connections between the show and catholicism (as another irish catholic in the diaspora!), and now am realizing how deeply the humour is rooted in the dark catholic humour too
absolutely!! yeah there's something specifically about irish catholicism that lends itself to dark humor. When I went to Ireland, I remember thinking that every single person I met there was the funniest person ever. That, and the best poet ever.
This was awesome. Love the connection. Your writing is very engaging.
Thanks so much Miles, that's very kind of you :)
