Britney Spears’ “Conversion” Spread Across The Internet – Even Deleted

The American pop star Britney Spears, 39, announced in a now-deleted Instagram.com post (August 5) that she became “Catholic.”

“I just got back from Mass,” Spears wrote at the end of her caption. "I'm Catholic now ... let us pray

She followed up with a brief video of her twirling in a blue dress with a plunging neckline, which, she revealed, was her ensemble of choice for Mass.

Catholic and secular news jumped on this “conversion” story.

The obvious problem is that the post was deleted. Further, merely attending Mass does not make someone Catholic.

PillarCatholic.com writes that Spears probably made some reference to her sister, a practicing Catholic, and not actually meaning that she’d converted.

Britney Spears was raised in a strict Baptist household and later became involved in a Kabbalah Centre (Gnosticism).
