“From the very beginning of our republic, Catholics have uplifted and enriched our nation beyond measure. Catholics like Charles Carroll helped secure American independence. Women like Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton founded a movement that created thousands of schools and lifted children out of poverty,†Trump said.

Al Smith was the Dems' 1928 Presidential nominee. To what degree, I don't know, but I suspect anti-Catholic Dems hurt his run.
