Mike Pence Is Why We Have To Stop Excusing Religious Sexism

9. Raised Catholic, but started going to evangelical churches some time ago

Pence was raised in a Catholic family, served as an altar boy, and attended parochial school.[27][255] He became a born-again Christian in college, while a member of a nondenominational Christian student group, and identified his freshman year—and specifically "a Christian music festival in Wilmore, Kentucky, in the spring of 1978"[256] referring to the Icthus Music Festival at then Asbury College in Wilmore—as the moment he made a "commitment to Christ."[27][255] After that point, Pence continued to attend Mass (where he met his wife) and was a Catholic youth minister.[255] Pence called himself Catholic in a 1994 news piece, although by 1995, he and his family had joined an evangelical megachurch, the Grace Evangelical Church.[27][255] In 2013, Pence said his family was "kind of looking for a church."[27] He has described himself as "a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order," and as "a born-again, evangelical Catholic."[27][255]

I get the feeling he wanted somewhere even more conservative than the Roman Catholics.
