* ICannotSelfTerminate: Kyle and Jesus are imprisoned in a cage, and there's not enough time to cut the chains.

His one condition is that Cartman ''never'' find out about this.

* BigBad: At first, Pope Benedict was believed to be this as he employed Donohue and the American Catholic League to capture and imprison the Hare Club for Men, as he considers their belief of Saint Peter of being a rabbit as blasphemy. However, Benedict is appalled by Donohue's fascist nature, and when he willing to listen to Jesus's pleas, Donohue takes up the mantle by having both Benedict and Jesus locked up while taking the position of the Pope for himself.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Although Pope Benedict and the Catholic Church want the Hare Club for Men dealt with, they feel that the actions Donohue is advocating are too extreme, such as torturing the Hare Club members and using them as live bait for rabbit stew. Pope Benedict is also appalled of the fact that Donohue is willing to double-cross Stan and Kyle after they surrender Snowball, implying that he's willing to honor the boys' promise to spare Snowball and let the Hare Club members go free. He is even willing take Jesus's word that Saint Peter was a rabbit, as he is outraged when Donohue urges him to kill Jesus for this.
