It seems at odds with values Catholicism teaches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p>White was raised as a Catholic with both his parents working for the diocese in Detroit. He met Pope John Paul II and got a hug as a child. White even has said he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anothermanmag.com\/library\/9871\/jack-white\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">considered becoming a priest<\/a> but backed out just before going to seminary.<\/p>\n<p>But the religion has little to do with his life today, according to White, who responded to the social media user by saying \u201cI never claimed to be a practicing catholic or christian, you assumed that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After saying he wasn\u2019t scared of Satan, White espoused more on his thoughts about religion. \u201cCommune with god on your own terms and communicate with god and find your own path, not some path somebody made up to make you afraid and make money off of you,\u201d the musician wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The whole religious discussion comes after <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2026\/07\/jack-white-twin-temple-charley-crockett-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charley Crockett booted Twin Temple<\/a> from opening slots <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2026\/03\/charley-crockett-age-of-the-ram-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on his tour<\/a> with the country crooner telling <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> \u201cI thought they were like Black Sabbath, but they ain\u2019t.
