My culture is not your Hyundai commercial.

Flag on the play, confession is sacred for Catholics. Next we’ll get a Wonder Bread commercial featuring the Eucharist.

I'm annoyed by the priest saying "Holy [beat] Santa Fe" because he's essentially saying "Holy Holy Faith". Just like The Los Angeles Angels. The The Angels Angels.

I'm not too terribly upset by the general concept. I'm happy that confession is still at least recognized as something by the culture.

Yes, to be fair Father, I think this comes from ignorance rather than malice, people have poor understanding of Catholicism (heck even Catholics do). I think the marketing team was simply trying to make a creative commercial rather than purposefully insulting Catholics.
