 Henry A. Wallace, Roosevelt's vice-president in 1941–45, did not go public with his anti-Catholicism, but he often expounded it in his diary, especially during and after World War II.He briefly attended a Catholic church in the 1920s, and was disillusioned by what he perceived to be the intellectual straitjacket of Thomism.By the 1940s, he worried that certain "bigoted Catholics" were scheming to take control of the Democratic Party; indeed the Catholic big city bosses in 1944 played a major role in denying him renomination as vice president.
