Catholic minority.

I've been wondering about that. Kennedy was motivated to bail out the French and help out his Vietnamese co-religionists (who were also culturally French at the upper class levels),but were the masses Catholic, as well?

Do you have a link to this information about the Vietnamese people?

South Vietnam was about 9% Roman Catholic. Don't exagerate.

French Indochina had RC ties, but the country was never predominantly Catholic.
