Even in France
France's media council has sharply reprimanded a private television channel for satirizing Pope Benedict as "Adolf II" and saying he blessed Catholics "in the name of the Father, the Son and the Third Reich."
From the article it would seem that the "satire" was indeed in poor taste, and (far worse imo) not funny.
