He used to be Roman Catholic, but converted to Evangelical Christianity. He explained this conversion by saying:[20]

I was Catholic, and then I became [an Evangelical] Christian [...] I started getting to know God more through the Bible, and I began experiencing powerful answers, miracles with my family, with my son. But I had to change my life, I had to change many things that [...] humanly are what we naturally desire. I'm struggling with myself so I won't fail God.
