Normally these sorts of things are already baked into the demographics of our partisan divide, but I do think there actually was something of an effect of the Trump campaign's appeal to Catholics because it helped keep a few anti-Trump Catholic Republicans in his column who would have bolted otherwise.
But the main reason why Trump did well with the Catholic vote was economics and the class divide. Trump's coalition managed to pull in more blue collar Catholics who normally either don't vote or vote Democratic.
