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".

The church was eventually dissolved and all money sent to the charity Médecins Sans Frontières, as originally announced, attributing the dissolution to being sent massive bags of seeds, a four-foot-tall wooden dong, and five packets of semen. Really.
