A recent Politico article addressed Marco Rubio’s journey to Catholicism to Mormonism to an Evangelical megachurch and back again.
Rubio has been described as an Evangelical Catholic, which could be a deal-breaker for some voters. But beyond the political scope of Rubio’s faith, his hybrid of beliefs begs the question: Can you be a Catholic and an Evangelical at the same time?
Practicing a religious hybrid isn’t as uncommon as one may think. As one example, people of interfaith marriages and their children adapt to this concept, but finding ways to do it can be challenging.
So how do people practice more than one religion? Larry Mantle weighs in with some religious experts to discuss the dynamic of religious hybrids.
