L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican's daily newspaper acknowledged that Homer Simpson is a true catholic although he snores through the sermons of the Reverend Lovejoy and inflicts 'never-ending humiliation' on his evangelical neighbour, Ned Flanders.
But in an article headlined 'Homer and Bart are catholics,' the newspaper said: The Simpsons are among the few TV programmes for children in which Christian faith, religion, and questions about God are recurrent themes. The family recites prayers before meals and, in their own peculiar way, believes in the life hereafter.
But the story doesn't end here. Al Jean, the producer for The Simpsons had a holy cow after learning that the Vatican considered Homer Simpson a catholic. He says: We've pretty clearly shown that Homer is not catholic. I really don't think he could go without eating meat on Fridays - for even an hour. The Simpson family attends the First Church of Springfield which is decidedly Presbylutheran.

Except Homer has been going to the "Presbalutheran" church in Springfield for the entire series.
Yes, that's what I said. And it's presbylutheran, not presbalutheran.
How many websites, newspapers and TV/radio stations ran this story without bothering to check with a Simpsons fan. Any true fan could tell you that the Simpsons are not Catholics although they did consider converting once.
