This may solve our questions. I got it in a reply via FReepmail.
**Ronald Reagan's father was Catholic, and his mother Protestant. His elder brother was baptized Catholic. But his father was not an especially successful husband/provider, and Ronald was brought up Protestant.**
Sorry. As much as the Catholics on the forum would like to claim them, President Ronald Reagan was born to a Protestant mother, baptized Protestant, became a practicing Presbyterian in good and faithful church standing, and raised a son, Michael, who is now an Evangelical Protestant.
