Ariana Grande has revealed that she turned to the Kabbalah faith after her homosexual brother was rejected by the Catholic Church.
The 21-year-old singer disagreed with the Christian faith's teachings about elder sibling Frankie's sexuality but they both found a 'connection' with the offshoot of Judaism that has many a celebrity follower.
She explained: 'When my brother was told that God didn't love him I was like, "OK, that's not cool." They were building a Kabbalah centre in Florida so we both checked it out and really had a connection with it.'

The Problem hitmaker has learned a lot from Kabbalah teachings and feels they have made her a better person.
She told the Sunday Telegraph magazine: 'Since then, my life has unfolded in a really beautiful way, and I think that it has a lot to do with the tools I've learned through Kabbalah, I really do.'

Kabbalah, an offshoot of Judaism, is a popular faith among Hollywood and music stars alike, with some of its most famous devotees including Madonna, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore.
Last year, the pop princess revealed part of the reason she had turned to the faith was because the Vatican had criticised her favourite cartoons.
Speaking to the Metro, she revealed: 'I was born Roman Catholic but I lost faith when the Pope decided to tell me everything I loved and believed in was wrong.
'[The church] said Spongebob Squarepants is gay and he's a sinner and he should burn in hell. And Harry Potter was a sin. And working women. I was like "Enough! First the gays, then Spongebob and now Harry Potter? Get out my house!" I was not having it.
