All right! Here's a classic Family Guy scene, from "Holy Crap". That's the episode where Peter's dad, Francis, retires and stays with Peter's family for awhile. Francis is a staunch Catholic who has never been happy about Peter's marriage to a non-Catholic:

Francis doesn't like being retired and he starts working with Peter at the Happy-Go-Lucky toy factory, where he quickly moves to a supervisor position, names Jesus Employee of the Month, and works everyone to death. In the meantime, the pope's tour plans a stop in Quahog:


Peter decides to kidnap the pope, take him to see Francis at Happy-Go-Lucky, and get him to tell Francis that Peter isn't a failure. To the Popemobile!

Peter [to Happy-Go-Lucky employees]: Hey guys, remember when we brought in that stripper for Lombardi's birthday and it turned out to be his son? Well, I think this is gonna top it.
[in walks the pope, and everybody starts chattering all excited-like]
Francis: Slothful sinners! You're here to work, not stand around with your ... holy mother! It's the holy father!

Francis [kneels]: I am not worthy.
JPII: Arise, my son, you are indeed worthy, for you have raised a fine son. His zest for life is an affirmation of God's great love within us all.

Peter: Wow, and that's from the freakin' pope! So I guess you were wrong about me, huh Dad?
Francis: I was wrong, all right.
Peter [to band waiting to play that 'la laaaa' sound when something sentimental happens]: Stand by, boys ...
Francis: I was wrong about YOU. You've gone soft on me, holy father! Even a tambourine-shaking Baptist could tell this boy's no good.

JPII: Are you calling ME a liar?
Peter: Whoa, easy pontiff.
JPII: Because I'll excommunicate your sorry ...

Peter: Okay, time out.
JPII: I have never met such an infuriating man! You must have the patience of a saint!

Peter: Well, he's my dad. I just want him to love me.
Francis: Peter, how could you say such a thing? I love you with all me heart.
[band starts playing]
Peter: You do?
Francis: Of course. I just don't like you. I don't like anything about you!
[band stops]
Peter: No, keep playing, you guys - I think this is as good as it's gonna get. Dad, to be honest, I don't like you either. Geez, that's a terrible thing to say. I guess I am going to hell, huh?
JPII: Peter, the good Lord said "Honor thy father." He never said anything about liking him.
Peter: Well, in that case, I'm going to eat meat on Fridays, golf on Sundays, laugh at Jewish comedians, and yes, sleep with my Protestant wife. But I won't enjoy it. And she hates it.
Francis: Well, fine, I'll be on me way. Take back your job. And give your old man a hug.
Peter: I love ya, Dad.
Francis: I know you do, son.
Peter: What are you going to do now?
Francis: I don't know. I guess the good Lord doesn't have much use for an old man like me.
[Pause, while Peter grins at the pope]

JPII: Well - I suppose I could use another pair of hands on my tour.
Peter: You'd give Dad a job? Even knowing what a jerk he is?
JPII: I have to. As you said Peter, "I'm-a the freakin' pope!"
I hope nobody finds this irreverent. I believe that the Holy Spirit dwells within me, as in all who have accepted Christ's sacrifice for their sins, and He enables me to interpret Scripture and allow it to guide my life. So, while I appreciate John Paul II for being a constant voice for life and for objective moral truth, and against communism - I can't scripturally justify elevating him above any other person. I find no Biblical reference to the pope (except in one area that I won't mention because I don't want a flame war in my comments) - but despite doctrinal differences, I'll use Paul's words from Philippians 1:18:
What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
John Paul II preached Christ, in which I rejoice.
