For some reason the tone of that answer brings to mind Alfie Bass in The Fearless Vampire Hunters.

One is assuming that we are talking about late 16th century, otherwise there would have been no issue.
Not sure how subtle we are talking here.
A catholic priest would have held the sacraments aloft, whereas a Protestant wouldn't.
Alters we're replaced with wooden tables in the reformation, maybe there is something there?

How about he's wearing orange underwear - or would that be too early?
Or that he has sex with children?
Quote: sootyj @ February 26 2012, 5:32 PM GMTYou've got a factual answer.
Weirdo.
Yes but this left me with the problem of what clue to place in the script, and I was welcoming any ideas from the people on this board.
You utter git.

He could have a small papal medal somewhere on his personage?

That's the euro title. It was released here as "Dance of the Vampires".
I know.. I'm a pedant.

Killers, not Hunters, no?
In full The Fearless Vampire Killers or: Pardon Me But Your Teeth are in My Neck, and yes Stylee is quite correct about the UK release title.

How about 'Popes Rule' tattooed on his inner forearm in Gothic script a la footballers and only visible when he raises his arms with the Communion wine?

That is exactly the type of thing! I might be able to work this in. Thank you very much!

Elizabeth 1 removed herself from Westminister Abbey during this section of her own coronation as she found the elevation of the hoast offensive.
You might have thought she'd have other things to worry about really.
Host BF.
Um... depends at which point of 16th century as England didn't really get into being Protestant until Edward VI (1547- 1552). Henry pretty much remained catholic but with himself in charge rather than the Pope. We then had several years of being very Catholic under Mary and then Catholics became a 'bad thing' when Elizabeth became queen in 1558.
But making the sign of the cross is done in 'High' Anglican (Anglo-Catholic) churches. They do a lot of incense swinging as well. Not sure whether it would have been risked in Elizabeth's reign. I'm sure you could work something in about priest holes.
High Anglican and Catholic are very similar.
About the only real diference is celibacy, Pope and Rome.
So any passing reference to the pope would be a dead give away.
