Rough Idle with code P0420

My truck (2005 5.4) has had a rough idle for about the past seven months. The CEL has been on for probably six. Sometimes it would go off and come back a week later. I finally got around to reading it and got code P0420 (Catalytic Efficiency Below Threshold). Does this mean my cats are bad? And would that cause a rough idle? I have already changed my plugs to champions less than a year ago
