About

The local priest of the Roman Catholic South Park Church, Father Maxi is a devote man of God with some unusual habits.

Originally Fr. Maxi displayed some rather unorthodox beliefs in his faith and methodology. he had preached about how Hell awaits most members of South Park unless they confess their sins at the Church. Even so, even he's was shown not to be free of sin himself like having sex with a woman in the church confessional. Maxi has also expressed in his he had homosexual tenancies long ago and through the church he sought to resolve his confusion.

Despite the past, Fr. Maxi being humbled though his actions was able develop more approachable methods to practice his faith. He had helped with Kyle's guilt after watching The Passion and took his faith and devotion to new heights when leading the charge against the Holy Document of Vatican law that forbids marriage and permits priests to molest children. It was not long after these events that Fr. Maxi was put though a wave of ridicule by his community after the irredeemable actions of the church became more widespread. While contemplating his place in the world, Maxi formed a bond with Butters to better cope with the stress and negativity, and with that he gained the courage to accept the insults from his town in order to repair his faith once more.

Father Maxi is also a big fan of the Denver Broncos and rallies support at sermons. It is worth mentioning that presides over many of the town's funerals in some way, shape or form.
