Vlad the Impaler was christian, catholic is all they had available at the time, so no catholics arent true christians BS.
Prince Vlad, or as he was called even in his own time, Dracula (which means "Son of the Dragon") tops the list of Romania’s many, many Christian crusaders who, in the transition years between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, fought to keep the Muslim-faithed Ottoman Turks out of their country.

First and foremost, he was a madman.

Maybe, but he was captured by devil..
"Dracula" in Romanian means literally, son of the Dragon.
His father and namesake Vlad Dracul was the governor of Transylvania, a Knight of the Order of the Dragon, from which he took the name "Dracul."
The Order of the Dragon was a Catholic chivalric order similar to the Knights Hospitaller, whose mission was defending Christianity against the Turks.
Ironically, the emblem of the order symbolized the defeat of the dragon at the hands of St. George- but while the elder Dracul was a dragon-slayer, the son was destined to become the dragon.
I guess Romanian are orthodox indeed………..

He started out Orthodox, but he renounced Orthodoxy and converted to Roman Catholicism.
