Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption
Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption was the name of the parody church that Oliver created to mock televangelists and expose holes in the United States tax code pertaining to churches. In the typical style of televangelists, he asked for seed money so that "great things will happen to you".
