The Vatican is Asking the Big Questions

Headlined Was the Hulk really a Catholic?, the newspaper described the article as an "inquiry into the religiousness of superheroes"....

"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 guess it matters to someone, but I can't imagine why?  Would someone convert to Catholicism to be like the Hulk?  Seems to me the Sistine Chapel would be better reason.
"Bruce Banner, the incredible green man, in fact married his beloved Betty Ross in a church and a Catholic priest presided at the ceremony.

"There are other indications dispersed among the hundreds of comic strips dedicated to him that are said to unequivocally reveal his faith."

The writer said there is evidence to suggest the mother of Batman's alter ego Bruce Wayne was Catholic while the character Nightcrawler from the X-Men films explicitly refers to his Catholic faith.
 That sounds conclusive enough for comics. But what about She Hulk!
