C. It was an issue, people were afraid he would take orders from the Pope as Gods representitive! (If you can believe it now days) Kennedy won by a small margin so I suppose you could make a case for D. but many other factors could cause this too. I remember his election is how I know.....God I feel old.

c. Unlike Al Smith in the 1928 election JFK was effective in how he presented his Catholicism and the people gradually let it go as an issue. D is very close to being correct as well.
