"Uh... no! I don't think so. That scene where they had a flashback to 1993 made no sense. It completely disrupted continuity. In the episode 8F04, Homer and Marge clearly get married on the state border- but this has them getting married in a proper church!"

I also wondered at the lack of Jesos.
I visited my local sports centre the other week and there was a black church meeting there. A 2nd storey window was open and someone could be heard shouting JESUS! through it. Over and over again, her voice was cracking as she strained with the volume. JESAS! It was super creepy. She wasn't talking about his love, or his wisdom, just JIZAS! JIZAS! JIZAS! OH JIZAS!
I shook my head and wandered off, then began to regret not shouting "YES? WHAT DO YOU WANT?" A regret that has lingered to this day.
