Imagodoc, Roland's not catholic at all, he said in an interview that he does not subscribe to any organized religion, and that he believes we gain conciousness after death.
It's true that this album is about a hard time he experienced with his wife, but he also said in an interview that it's about his father's illusions on their family tree and about the reality of their poverty. In "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" and "Los Reyes Catolicos" he clearly makes fun of what his father told him about their family's descent.
He also stated that this album's about the relationship between rationality and spirituality, explaining that "God's Mistake" pokes fun at Albert Einstein's statement "God does not play dice".
"Yet if he's everywhere, he's in casinos with aces to spare", says Roland, along with "God, you look mighty fine, dressed as the devil in a cosmic pantomime".
What's more, in a song from Elemental called "Mr.Pessimist" he says "mr.pessimist with you catholic taste, we do not relate", so he doesn't seem to look at catholicism in such a favourable way, just saying.
