You need to get up to speed on Howard's bio. Trust me. His mom AIN'T Catholic. And your friend who claimed to have seen Howard in Church was pulling your leg.

1) I didnt say his mom was Catholic. 2) I heard him say on the radio he "wanted to go on the record" that he was Catholic, which admittedly does not mean he was Catholic, but doesnt make a lot of sense if it didnt mean that. And 3) My friend was not pulling my leg, which does not mean Stern is a Catholic, but it does mean it would take a strange explanation for Stern attending Mass and saying he was Catholic.

Trust me. Stern ain't Catholic. But the part about him being a big hero in 'Nam is absolutely true. I mean Howard wouldn't fib on the air, would he?

Howard Stern has been a Jew since birth.

The Stern lineage as reported in "Howard Stern, King of All Media" by Paul Colford, St. Martins Press, NY, 1996 (p. 2):

Howard's Grandparents on his Father's side: Froim and Anna (Gallar) Stern, natives of the former Austria-Hungary.
His Father: Ben Stern.

Howard's Grandparents on his Mother's side: Sol and Esther (Reich) Schiffman, also from Austria-Hungary.
His Mother's maiden name: Ray Schiffman. (Ray is the correct spelling.)

Howard's parents were married by a rabbi at the Imperial Garden, a kosher catering hall in the Bronx, on May 17, 1947.
Howard married Alison Berns at Temple Ohabei Shalom in Brookline, Mass., on June 4, 1978. They were both 24.
