Probably the biggest reason was simply that fact that protestants had fled to the United States to get away from Catholics (and Anglicans, initially, for that matter). In the 19th century, besides Jews, most of the immigrants into the United States were Irish, Italian, and Polish, along with some other groups like Hungarians and Spanish. But in the main the they were all Catholics, and looked down upon by the white protestant majority who had been in the United States for several generations at that point. I grew up in the 1950's and even though I had a Catholic grandmother only knew of the Catholics as a various collection of not very nice slang terms that described their nationality, mostly Italians and Poles (my grandmother was Irish, so, although I heard those terms as well, they weren't used in my family.)
