Catholic vote was about 55/44 for Trump.

Anecdotally my sister has been friends with a very wealthy, very, very Republican family from church for fifty years. Three people from their family came to Amarillo today to see Bernie with my sister. Unfortunately Bernie had to go to a briefing on the Iranian situation and had to cancel.

He offered to find jobs for anyone, regardless of their religion, who didn't want to continue to work at Pantex where nuclear bombs were assembled.
