The TV film provides a satirical perspective of the ethical issues that have plagued the global Catholic Church in the past few decades. It depicts several instances where Father Thomas (David Warner) makes questionable decisions regarding the briberies and immoral signing of letters of faith for Atheist parents. However, the sustained ambiguity forces the audience to create their own ethical conclusion as the statement of their false faith cannot be verified or substantiated. Perfect Parents also challenges the ethical parameters which are often breached when securing educational entry for children, such as blatant acts of lying and bribery of religious figures within the film by Stuart and Alison (Lucy's parents).

China's growing economy was not developed enough to allow the government to properly fund for its healthcare system. Instead, the government cut spending as private sectors played a more and more important role in the system where the gap of the funding was closed by briberies paid by drug companies and patients to doctors and hospitals. Chinese doctors were usually underpaid, which made bribery hard to be rooted out. Since the 1980s, doctors in Chinese public hospitals had to over-prescribe drugs and make un-necessary diagnostic procedures and surgeries to make a living, which was known by most Chinese and deteriorated the relationship between the patients and doctors, leading to widespread dissatisfaction.

The acquisition in 1514 of the very influential Prince-Archbishopric-Electorate of Mainz for Albert was a coup that provided the Hohenzollerns with control over two of the seven electoral votes in imperial elections and many suffragan dioceses to levy dues. According to canon law, Albert was too young to hold such a position and since he would not give up the archiepiscopal see of Magdeburg (in order to terminate the accumulation of archdioceses, which was also prohibited by canon law), the Hohenzollerns had to dispense ever greater briberies at the Holy See. This exhausted their means and caused them to incur vast debts with the Fuggers. To assist in the recovery of the enormous expenditures employed to assist Albert, mediators stipulated with the Holy See that the pope would allow Albert to sell indulgences to the believers in his archdioceses and their suffragans.

When his associates questioned him on the matter, he argued that it was necessary because Later Liang had a political culture of briberies, and that if he refused the bribes, the former Later Liang officials might come to fear that he was not truly accepting as Later Tang subjects, and therefore he had to; he further stated that he was only safekeeping the money for the state. When Emperor Zhuangzong was offering sacrifices, he offered part of that collected money to award to the soldiers. However, when the treasury officials informed Emperor Zhuangzong that the imperial treasury should also award money to the soldiers, the stingy Emperor Zhuangzong refused, only taking moneys that were confiscated from Li Jitao (who was put to death after Emperor Zhuangzong's conquest of Later Liang) to give to the soldiers. Meanwhile, Guo, due to his hold on power, was becoming resented by eunuchs that Emperor Zhuangzong trusted.
