Previously, pizzagaters have noted Southpark's frequent references to institutionalized elite pedophilia.

Examples:

A. Red Hot Catholic Love https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bctivboqvKo

B. Super Adventure Club https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vWy_Qf8gfko

C. Cartman Joins Nambla: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartman_Joins_NAMBLA

D. Pedophile Panic: http://southpark.cc.com/clips/qu8pqi/pedophile-panic

E. Pedophile Photographer (note the evil clown at the end): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ovSqCBYTte0

In the past 2 months, there has been a marked increase in lawsuits, published lists, and media articles documenting known pedophile priests and institutional complicity in sheltering these abusers from public attention and legal justice.

Crudely commenting on this trend Southpark devoted a 2 minute and 13 second segment to Catholic Parishioners heckling a Priest during a Sunday service with jokes about the sexual abuse of young boys.

It's part of a larger episode about the Catholic Church and how the bishops intentionally shuffle pedophile priests.

“A Boy and a Priest” centered around the friendship between Butters and Father Maxi, the local South Park priest who is being ridiculed by the townspeople over the Catholic Church’s history of sex abuse. Father Maxi’s relationship with Butters does his reputation no favors and prompts the Denver Archdiocese to send a cleanup crew of ordained church officials to South Park in order to remove any traces of child molestation.

In response, the Catholic League—a religious advocacy group—has released a baffling statement about the episode, calling the South Park creators "cowards." As a statement from the organization's president Bill Donohue reads:

The October 3rd episode of “South Park,” titled “A Boy and a Priest,” portrayed molesting priests as pedophiles. This is factually inaccurate: almost all the molesters—8 in 10—have been homosexuals. Therefore, the cartoon-victim characters should have been depicted as adolescents, not kids. In Hollywood, the creators of “South Park,” Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are seen as courageous. They are really cowards. It takes courage to tell the truth.

So what does the community think? Is this speaking truth to power? Or is it a large media empire normalizing abuse?

Edit:

Comedy Central is an American pay television channel owned by Viacom Global Entertainment Group, a unit of the Viacom Media Networks

Nickelodeon is also owned by Viacom. Dan Schneider, an alleged sexual abuser, was employed by Nickelodeon for decades. Thus I look at Southpark with suspicion
