I know I saw that discussion about Foggy on Tumblr somewhere, but then I went looking and couldn't find it (ah, Tumblr). As it happens, I'm entirely in agreement with both of you, speaking as someone who is also of the Irish Catholic via NYC persuasion. Matt's the obvious one, of course, but I find it interesting how strongly Foggy is coded Irish Catholic, especially in the details that a lot of TV-Catholic characters tend to lack.
