Incase anyone is not aware, they used President John F Kennedy’s Catholicism against him in campaigns.
I’m not actually sure why they target Catholics. One thing I can think of is that it’s Christian Nationalism targeting the group most in common to be separated from Protestants. Another reason is that Catholics, historically, tended to have a bigger social justice (ok, their version of social justice) that wasn’t beneficial to conservatives.
