Im talking about the time when the priest is seen looking at the alter boy magazine.

That had already happened by the time this movie came out (which is why they used that gag): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases

I don't think there was meant to be anything sexual about the priest and the alter boy magazine.

That was a variation on a similar gag from the first movie, where a nun was shown reading "BOY'S LIFE" magazine and then a kid is shown reading NUN'S LIFE.

However, if memory serves, towards the end of "II" there's also a gag when the stewardess is instructing everyone on assuming crash position, she says "Put your head between your knees," and then she adds "Your own knees, father."

So the "Priest as pervert" thing was definitely there.

The priest then turns the magazine as if it had a centerfold.

airplane 2 made by jewish people.
Same people who owns the media.

Be loyal to the them = no scandals. Say wrong thing = scandal.

It was more a warning to the catholics to stay inline/loyal to Israel.
