That question is really only relevant because Fredette comes from a part-member family, where his parents let him choose which church to go to. Fredette chose to be baptized at age 10, but it sounds like he had been attending all along, so I doubt there was much inclination for him to be catholic.

It’s interesting, though, how much religion seems to come up in the context of sports. You would think it wouldn’t enter into the conversation much, but it seems to come up all the time. I think that alone validates the decision to have sports teams at BYU. Even with how much money they cost, it’s worth it because there’s no way you can get this same level of exposure for the Church in any other way. A guy like Fredette talking about his testimony on a national network like ESPN? Huge.

Couldn’t agree more.

Amen, brother.
