American Decades, in their article “Catholics and Politics,” highlights the idea that JFK was the second Roman Catholic to be nominated for president by the Democratic Party. He was the first Roman Catholic to be elected but “his success raised questions about religious tolerance in the United States.” Many were opposed at first to his presidency and thought his views would be swayed because of the fact that he was Catholic. But he shocked the world with this quote: “"I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party's candidate for President, who also happens to be Catholic."” This evidence suggests that JFK was a very influential president and had many supporters but kept going even though the nay-sayers made themselves evident.
