Vatican asks: is the Hulk Catholic?

The Vatican daily L'Osservatore Romano on Friday devoted a full page looking at the Catholic identity of popular comic book superheroes while questioning the religious affiliation of some of the most popular like Superman and Batman.
---
The Vatican newspaper article was accompanied by two scenes from popular comic strips – Batman showing his alter-ego Bruce Wayne as a boy saying his prayers by his bed and the Hulk depicted with rosary beads in his hands.

"Is it enough for a person to have a rosary in his hand to be defined a Catholic?" wrote senior journalist Gaetano Vallini.

But Vallini said there was plenty of evidence to indicate the Hulk was a Catholic.

I once came across a list of comic characters and superheroes which gave the religion of each, and I think where/in what episode/issue the "proof" was found.

Ill see if I can dig it up, it was really interesting (for nerds like me, anyway lol).

That one proclaims Hulk a lapsed Catholic.

I think I fall somewhere between Little Mermaid (Lutheran-Atlantean) and Mastodon (raised Lutheran, now atheist). I guess that would make me "raised Lutheran-Atlantean, now agnostic."

"Stately Wayne Manor" alone suggests Batman to be high church Episcopalian, but I see he's lapsed as well.

These days I'm feeling like Thundra - a "Femizonian Female Supremicist".
