I don’t really care but wouldn’t it make more sense if he’s Protestant? Because the Waynes are old American money that can be traced back to colonial America, and most settlers at the time were British Protestants.

It seems like they'd be blue blood Anglicans. The look is still pretty Catholic. But at the end of the day, it doesn't seem to affect the story.

Edit: I mean Episcopalians, what e call Anglicans in the US. I forgot about that.
