Question about the old movie “Fletch Lives”

It was the one sequel to the original “Fletch.” It’s literally the first time of me watching these 2 films in the past 2 days, but I have a question I couldnt find online...
Are they making fun of Jimmy Lee Swagart in this movie by the Jimmy Lee Farnsworth? I assume it is and I know its probably a dumb question since this movie is based in Louisiana in the late 80’s, but Id like confirmation to ease my pain...

It's an amalgamation parody of Swaggert and Jim and Tammy Baker...basically any popular Southern preacher from the 80s on big time TV.

I took it as a general parody of tv preachers in general.
Boy, I always thought that movie was funny as hell.
“What’s your address, sir?”
“7.”
“Bend over.”
“Hi, Ben. Victor Hugo.”
“We’re the Nazis of Natchez!”
“Bobby Lee. Bobby E. Lee. Bobby E. Lee....Schwartz.”
And a ton of others.

The original Fletch is one of my all-time favorite movies. That movie is funny up to the very last line spoken just before the credits role.

Yeah, as previous posters said, mostly Jimmy Swaggart and to some degree ALL those televangelists back then.
Hard to believe he was played by the famous drill sergeant, R. Lee Ermey.
"Fletch Lives" was a fun little flick, but quite few steps down from the original "Fletch":
"Well, I know that, and you know that, but somebody's buckin' for a promotion... probably that pederast, Hanrahan.."
"Can I get you anything to drink, Dr?" "A cup of hot fat... and bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia..."
"Muchos Gracias" "Tierra Del Fuego"

The scene when he takes the car with the kid in it for the California Emissions test is one of my all time favorites in any movie.
