Not sure about the Cassidys, given that high-born Irish families have changed religion more than once over the centuries for various reasons to do with land inheritance. The only lead I've found is that Tom sent Theresa to a Catholic Boarding school. I've been going off that...

I know a lot of characters are Jewish, so I was wondering who is officially Catholic?

I know Daredevil is. It's a major part of his personality and often occurs in storylines.

I also believe Firebird from the West Coast Avengers... After that, I'm pretty much stumped.

Anyone have any others?
