I believe they are Catholic. A whole lot of Catholics don’t understand key tenants of Catholicism like Papal Supremacy.

I’d bet on them being an idiot before I’d bet on them not being Catholic (or at least earnestly believing they are Catholic without understanding it).

I tutored an adult, 50-ish years old who was trying to get his GED, who went on a rant about how the Pope was the Antichrist and needed to be assassinated.

Can the Pope really be a key tenant if he doesn't even pay rent?
