A poser for you...

if a character's evil twin/counterpart from a dystopian mirror universe traps the pastor of said character's childhood church in a confessional booth before blowing the church up, is that evidence that said character was raised Catholic? It's not like Episcopalians *have* confessional booths, is it?

Um... not necessarily. Maybe the person committing the crime simply had something against the church in general, hated the victim, etc. Then again, who is doing the detective-work, the character him/her self, or another person?

I think it is only the good ol' Catholic faith that does confessions like that. Not sure if Orthodox does anything similar, and Episcopals and Lutherans have group confession done in public. You can ask a pastor for a private confession, but there is no set place for that.

No, this is something that happened in canon. Evil Twin went around eliminating anyone who remembered the Good Character from his childhood, prior to an attempt to replace Good Character; it was an amazingly psychopathic series of events. Evil Twin talked to the parish priest through a confessional while assembling a *bomb*, which he left there to detonate.
