Roman Catholics is the wrong answer, it is Buddhists
The anticommunist leader who was overthrown was Ngo Dinh Diem. Part of the reason he was overthrown was because of his treatment of Buddhists.
President Diem talked about making South Vietnam a true democracy - but he used a very autocratic style of leadership and didn't expand democratic rule in his country. He also was a Catholic - anathema to the traditional Buddhist monk religious leadership at that time. The Buddhists strongly and publicly protested while the U.S. chose to withdraw support for Diem. He was captured and killed in a military coup 'sponsored' by the U.S. government.
