Diem may have been a devout Catholic.
JFK was anything but

It's always easy to judge, especially from the armchair.

I doubt if we EVER got anything honest about him. He was an anathema to the media and they pilloried him (and Jackie) without compunction.
That would be true, I believe, of any of the presidents. They are written about by everyone in the world and I think the "real media truth" would fit into a teaspoon.

Diem was pilloried too BUT here is something different about him. Good for this story. Maybe the "real truth" lies somewhere in between.

I’m not sure I know what you’re talking about.

The media loved and adored the Kennedys and the covered up for them.

And they continue to do to this day.
