Mike Pence isn't Roman Catholic. He's an Nondenominational Evangelical Christian.

According to wikipedia:
Pence attended Catholic schools in an Irish Catholic family. As a college student he had a spiritual awakening. There, Pence said he met young men and women who talked about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Congressman Pence describes himself as "a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order." However, his views on the origin of species are "mixed" and "an open question."

I just thought this meant he is Catholic, unless he converted when he had his spiritual awakening.

Rick Perry is actually a member of the United Methodist Church, which is technically a mainline denomination. There is no denomination called "Evangelical" - most of the people who this term is applied to are non-denominational Protestants.

I actually read that about Perry, but apparently he now attends a megachurch.  The same is true for Sean Parnell.
