Best Answer

Depends. Are you asking about "Catholic leaders"? Or "Leaders who happen to be Catholic"?

In the former category, there aren't many, because Catholicism isn't much of a political force in US politics.

In the latter, there's John Kennedy, the most famous Catholic of all, and presently, Gingrich, a bad Catholic who attends Baptist services when it's politcally expedient, and Santorum, a devout Catholic who nevertheless isn't getting the political support of many Catholic groups.
