Most of Al Smith's opponents weren't against him because of Catholicism and didn't believe in any Papal conspiracy theories. It's like saying most anti-Obama people are against him because he's black, it was a motivating factor amongst a lot of the uneducated population and redneck types but it certainly wasn't the primary factor or motivation of the core opposition to him. 1928 was going to be a Republican year no matter what as well.
