Solution

The correct option is C John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy, the first non-Protestant president, came to Texas as a candidate for president in 1960 to reassure voters of his loyalty. Many Americans were concerned that a Catholic president would have more allegiance to the pope than to the United States. Kennedy addressed the issue of his Roman Catholicism to a group of Protestant ministers, the Greater Houston Ministerial Association.
