Faithful departed? Was she Catholic?

From the news link…

In recent years, she has spoken out in favour of stronger gun control laws, the elimination of capital punishment, the end of apartheid in South Africa, reduced military spending and same-sex marriage rights.

May God have mercy on her soul.
