Is Urban Meyer a Mormon?

Please help settle a perpetual debate in my Utah-expat, football-obsessed family. Google has thus far failed me.

I can't believe I'm asking this.

He's Catholic
(and maybe or maybe not named after a bunch of Popes)

He is Catholic and named after one of the popes which is why he was so highly sought after for the Notre Dame job.

As a UF fan I could really careless of what his believes are as long as he keeps the football team winning and eventually to the Championship game!

This page says he's Roman Catholic.

Crotalus,
Can you please explain the joke? I've been trying to figure it out. Does anyone else get it?

I think it's because there were rumors about Lionel Richie being mormon.
