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.

...

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

"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."

L'Osservatore Romano: Not afraid to ask the tough questions.

3. Well, that would be a new twist in the Hulk's origin ...

instead of being physically abused by his father, he was sexually abused by a "Father" ...

HULK YANK!

7. Is Thor in there?

Hopefully they pondered Iron Man, too.

8. Well I'm an atheist

And i was married in Church, so that is meaningless.

Being a scientist, and nuclear physicist at that. Odds are he is agnostic or an atheist.

Daredevil on the other hand is Catholic and The Thing from the Fantastic Four is Jewish.

10. I bet The Atom was.

He has the right logo.

12. Back when I read comics, Nightcrawler was catholic.

Things may have changed since the late 70s, of course.

EDIT: see the irony...
