Kelly Clarkson, Baptist superstar

I wrote last week that I thought Kelly Clarkson, who will be serenading the pope in Yonkers, was Catholic.
I thought I saw her religious affiliation on her website, but I must have seen it on another website. Oh well.
It turns out that Clarkson, who grew up in Texas, is a Baptist. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that the local girl attended Crestwood Baptist Church in Burleson, Texas.
My apologies.
Kelly Clarkson, a Baptist, will sing Ave Maria to Benedict XVI, a Catholic, at the youth rally at St. Joseph’s Seminary on April 19. She’ll also perform in a concert before the pope’s appearance.

The world of religion, we don't have to tell you, is vast. The purpose of this blog is for Stern to note, flag and comment on some of the more interesting religious developments on the scene – weighty and quirky, somber and laughable, far away and just down the road. He won't interpret Scripture, take sides in conflicts or judge anyone. But he will take advantage of the journalist's license to observe.
i thought she was too, but being so i think it show’s that kelly clarkson is really a christian woman who is simply living the gospel that spreads love and not animosity towards other denomination..i’ve always admired kelly from way back but even more so now…
i am a proud catholic and for kelly to say she feels honored to have been chosen to sing for the leader of the catholic faith shows that she is indeed following what the gospel preaches and shows her true good heart…she deserves to be there because of that…
