Yet,
Considering 70% of Brazilians are Catholic,1 it should come as no surprise that Bündchen joins them. She married her husband, football player Tom Brady, in a Catholic ceremony,2 and she said she married him because he was a “good Catholic.”3 She not only prays for her husband’s victories on the field, but at least once sent out an email asking her friends and family to do the same.4
She’s clearly devout, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to do everything the Pope tells her to do. She criticized the Catholic church for being outdated in its opposition to pre-marital sex, birth control, and abortion.
Bündchen isn’t terribly involved in the political debate, but she has associated herself with one cause that sounds liberal in some circles. She was named the Greenest Celebrity at the 2011 International Green awards for her environmental activism including, among other things, preventing deforestation and protecting waterways in the Amazon.6 She also started a “Green Blog” on her website to try to bring awareness to a broad range of environmental issues from protecting animal habitats to reducing resource consumption.7

Heck, with this Pope, I wouldn't do anything he'd tell me to do.
“She criticized the Catholic church for being outdated in its opposition to pre-marital sex, birth control, and abortion.”
So, wouldn’t that make her a non-Catholic?
