What the controversy was with John F. Kennedy being a Catholic?
There was an initial worry by some people that having Kennedy in the White House would give the Pope and the Catholic Church carte blanche in directing Kennedy's decisionmaking in governing the nation. However, then-Presidential candidate Kennedy repeatedly made his opinion on the subject very clear in various national interviews throughout the 1960 Presidential campaign. His interview on the subject on Face the Nation on October 30, 1960, was perhaps the most publicly promulgated. During a press conference on Sep 12, 1960 in Houston, TX, then-candidate Kennedy made the following statement: "I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant, nor Jewish--where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source--where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials--and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all." There is also a series of additional quotes regarding President Kennedy's stance on the issue here: http://www.adherents.com/people/pk/John_F_Kennedy.html.
The fears of U.S. voters with regard to Kennedy's faith, while understandable, were unfounded in any case, as they were based on obsolete and antiquated notions of the Catholic Church's relationships with nations that proclaimed themselves to be "Catholic" by virtue of their constitutions. The Church had lost power with the secular political consolidation of the last of the Vatican city states which became the nation of Italy by end of the 19th century. By 1960, the Church had long been out of the business of politically governing any nation but Vatican City in Rome. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Church changed how it sought to influence people and nations no longer using political methods, but chiefly through appeal to reason and intellect.

Why do people think the CIA killed JFK?
The CIA did not kill John F. Kennedy, he was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald. There are many theories and schemes floating around on the subject but when the evidence is taken in totality, the result shows quite definitively that Oswald was responsible. Other theories of the assassination only hold together when the evidence is examined selectively.
Another theory based on the confession of a Mafia hit man is as follows:
Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John F Kennedy (JFK) , but was a patsy.
The Mafia killed JFK because Bobby Kennedy was "turning up the heat" on the Mafia.
Even after all the work the Mafia had done in Chicago to get JFK elected president in 1960.
Mafia hit man James (Sutton) Files has recently confessed to firing the fatal bullet, the blew JFK's brains out towards the rear, from the infamous grassy knoll in Daily Plaza.
James Files worked together with another Mafia hit man to "take the trash out" as he put it.
