Picking on the Catholics has a long history in the US.
Nowadays, I think some of it has to do with the fact that the majority of Hispanics (there's a growing Protestant minority) are Catholics. Oh noes, the brown people are coming and they're going to overrun us!!! Sort of similar to when it was the Irish and Italian immigrant waves.
