Evidence of Faith: According to an article from Relevant Magazine titled “Jack White’s Many Sides” that has sadly been lost, it explains that Jack White grew up in a Catholic family. According to a Rolling Stones interview with Jack, he also explains that he was an altar boy & that both of his parents worked for the Archdiocese of Detroit: his father was a maintenance worker, his mother a secretary. Lastly, according to an archived page from The White Stripes website, it goes on to explain that when Jack married Karen Elson, their wedding was held on a canoe in the Amazon River basin near Manaus, & while they were initially married by a shaman, their marriage was shortly afterwards held & convalidated by a Catholic priest named Igreja Matric & held in a Catholic cathedral in Manaus.
