Shameless: Major Props and Locations Problem


Excuse me. But having crucifixes, with jesus bodies on, all around your house is NOT a sign of being a pentecostal charismatic. More usual in Catholic homes really. That's a big mess from cult TV programme Shameless. Paul Abbot knows this and needs to more carefully protect the hand of history on his shoulder.

Frank's segregation of Catholics and Christians however is spot on. What a patronising smile I got aged nine when asked by a teacher (actually a non-Catholic TV tennis star, knocking up with Rod Laver) "what is our religion" I answered "christian" which was quickly corrected by others, with sneering and sniggering, to "catholic". Hey ho! What a mess!

Shiite, Sunni, Wahabi, Sufi. Muslim.

Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Bushy. Christian.
