(SRN NEWS) – America is a mostly-Protestant nation and while Catholics are a big slice of the population — 23% — they are dwarfed by the roughly 50% who are Protestants. 

But President Trump, whose two election victories were fueled by Evangelicals, has selected a lot of Catholics for his cabinet. 

Vice President J.D. Vance is also a Catholic, as are seven of the nine Supreme Court justices. 

A majority of Catholics cast their ballots for Mr. Trump in November.
