I was born and raised Catholic. I attended a seminary for 5 years. Now: I'm agnostic, an American (by birth), a human by Universal design, and a seeker of truth by choice.
JFK was a Catholic. He was feared during the 1960 campaign due to his religion, but that fear was ill founded.
Still, it was extremely difficult to convince Americans in the 1950's / early 1960's that JFK was:
1) an intelligent, "not beholden to Rome" candidate
2) a defender of the absolute separation of church and state
3) not even a very good Catholic (as per Jackie's judgment)
I don't know what kind of president Romney will make. We'll just have to see. But, I do know one thing: My decision will have nothing to do with his religion.

hey Monk... Frankly I think Romney's a coward, in the hip pocket of neo-con Bill Kristol. He's a blank sheet of paper-empty suit kinda guy with a penchant for lying. Makes not a wit of difference whether or not he's a Mormon or a Buddhist with flat feet--guy's a turd. PERIOD...
David :loo:
David,
Just between you, me and everyone else who has ever read your opinions about the political parties: You think that ALL Republicans are turds. I don't. I think all politicians are turds.
