In the novel, the MacNeils are not Catholic. It's not explicitly stated they're Catholic in the movie either. We never learn what the MacNeils' religious affiliations are, although when one of the doctor first mentions turns the radical religious ceremony to Chris, she says it's like going to a witch doctor, implying she is not catholic. We also see that Chris is friends with Father O'Malley, one of the Jesuit priests and teachers at Georgetown who attends the party Chris throws at the beginning of the movie, and later brings his friend Damien Karras in as exorcist, who is in the same order and Parrish. This may point to Chris possibly being Catholic, but we're not sure. On the DVD commentary, William Friedkin states that Chris MacNeil is agnostic.
