Daredevil Message Board

I was searching religion of Superheroes and came across this site: http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/comic_book_religion.html

And here is their link to DareDevil's religion: http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/Daredevil.html

I always thought it was Frank Miller and with quotes from Miller like "I figured Daredevil must be Catholic because only a Catholic could be both an attorney and a vigilante" it sounds like Miller is actually taking create for it but read this:

"Frank Miller is often credited with first establishing Catholicism as Daredevil's religious affiliation, but this is incorrect. It was certainly Miller that brought this aspect of the character to the forefront, but Daredevil's Catholicism had been introduced prior to Miller's seminal work on the series. Tony Isabella has identified himself as the writer who first indicated that Daredevil is Catholic, back in Daredevil #119, in a story titled, "They're Tearing Down Fogwell's Gym." Isabella is an influential comic book writer whose creations include Black Lightning (another overtly religious superhero). Isabella is himself an active churchgoer and who has frequently and sensibly included religious elements in comic book characterization. Isabella has in the past commented on the relative ignorance found among fellow comic book writers with regards to real-world religious practice."

Well, Isabella's issue doesn't explicitly say Matt is catholic, it just features a catholic priest who is implied to be friends with Matt.
