Well let's consider the possible interpretations of Sneakers O'Toole. One is that he is a representation of the homosexual community and their refusal to change for detractors in society. In that case it's safe to say he doesn't have much attachment to Catholicism. The second theory is he represents a terrorist threat to America, with the men in the suits representing the FBI and the CIA in their failure to protect America. If he's a fundamentalist Muslim, then it's possible that he was raised Catholic but obviously has now converted to Islam and has nothing to do with Catholicism at this point. The third theory is that he represents George W. Bush and his stubborn foreign policy, with the men in the suits representing the international community trying to prevent the invasion of Iraq, which he just shrugs off and continues along the way behaving like a spoiled child. George W. Bush isn't Catholic. The fourth theory is it's a parody of the "breakout character" with the way he was introduced out of nowhere. Such a character obviously could be Catholic, but it's worth noting in the very same episode the Griffin family is shown going to a church where the denomination isn't given, but is most likely some type of high church Protestant (see the reference to "Reverend" rather than "Priest"), so with the Catholic-style communion is likely either Episcopalian or perhaps high church Lutheran or Methodist. And it's well known that Peter is from an Irish Catholic family. Now of course they only attend because Lois is the organist and it's known that Lois is from a Protestant family but it's entirely possible that Sneakers O'Toole is from a similar marriage and thus like the Griffin children has an Irish surname but was not raised Catholic. It's also possible that he's a "mutt" with all sorts of different ancestries and just happened to end up with an Irish last name but with that representing only 1/4-1/16 of his total ancestry, in which case predicting the religious background one is raised in is almost impossible. For all we know he could be the descendant of an Irish convert to Mormonism. So unless Sneakers O'Toole makes another appearance, the truth is we don't know.
I want to watch you present your theories to Seth MacFarlane, and then I want to watch him slap you.
