The "Holy Name Church" is a striking catholic church located on the Oxford Road Corridor across from the Carling Academy at the heart of the Manchester University Quarter.
I think this song is about prejudice and a kind of "those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" Holier than Thou message. "As i was minding my business lifting some lead" is about someone doing something unlawful/socially unacceptable (stealing from a church). This person sees their actions as normal "as i was minding my business" but the person sees the vicar in a tutu as weird/different.
"As rose collects the money in the cannister" is probably about Morrissey's qualms with the money making of the church "all they want is your money" from the queen is dead.
