Related: About this forum5 faith facts on Mike Pence: A ‘born-again, evangelical Catholic’
http://religionnews.com/2016/07/14/5-faith-facts-on-mike-pence-a-born-again-evangelical-catholic/While an official announcement has not yet been made, IndyStar and other media outlets are reporting that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence will be presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trumps running mate.
Pence became governor of the Hoosier State in 2013. Previously, he had worked as a lawyer, president of the Indiana Policy Review, political talk radio show host and U.S. congressman.
He has described himself as a pretty ordinary Christian and as a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order.
But he also once said, I made a commitment to Christ. Im a born-again, evangelical Catholic. Thats not a combination you hear every day, as journalist Craig Fehrman, who has covered the Indiana governor for Indiana Monthly, has pointed out.

There's probably no way for him to get around being a Catholic (which he probably doesn't want to anyway), but for those religious nutjobs who still look sideways at Catholics, he's telling them he's born-again and evangelical. Surprised he didn't mention he has magic underwear just to get in with Mormons.
