I think this is what is called ‘framing’

Only this is the good kind, addressing a problem with power and honesty, and providing a personal connection. This is the testimony of a victim of the Irish Catholic workhouse system, and the brutal pedophilia of corrupt priests.

I found this on the blog of one of the creators of the Father Ted series, Graham Linehan, who wrote of this:

If all copies and records of 'Father Ted' were somehow wiped, I would find it impossible to summon up the affection with which Arthur and I initially wrote the show. Somehow, these days, The Irish Catholic Church seems a lot less cuddly.
