Your Simpsons character
Ned Flanders
Scott's strong moral compass and unwavering commitment to his faith, even when criticizing its flaws, aligns with Ned Flanders' character. Like Ned, Scott is a devout Catholic who believes in the importance of traditional values and practices. He is also critical of those who deviate from these values, as seen in his frequent criticisms of Pope Francis and other Church officials. However, despite his criticisms, Scott remains a loyal member of the Church, similar to Ned's unwavering faith despite his often-frustrating experiences. For example, Scott's tweet, 'Look, nobody has to defend the Pope's use of slurs, even he apologized for that. But if you want present yourself as a messenger of Francis' teaching, you do have to stick up for his view on homosexuality in seminaries, and not support James Martin's rejection of that,' echoes Ned's tendency to defend his faith even when criticizing its leaders.

Your song
Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' captures the complex and often contradictory emotions that Scott expresses in his tweets. The song's themes of faith, doubt, love, and loss resonate with Scott's reflections on the Catholic Church, its imperfections, and his own personal struggles with faith.

For example, Scott's tweet, 'It is worth noting that we, in a way I think is a mistake, try to have it both ways on this. We demand that the Church only 'grow by attraction' to its witness, but then get angry at people for expecting to join a Church of Saints, and I think we sorta need to pick a lane,' reflects the song's exploration of the tension between faith and doubt, and the search for a path forward in a world of ambiguity.
