Father Sean gave [[Bart]] a comic book of the various saints in order to get Bart interested in the Roman Catholic faith. At home, [[Bart]] begins to show to his family his new found religious beliefs, which worries [[Marge]]. [[Homer]], at Marge's request, goes to the school to talk to Father Sean.
