Lovely, it’s spring of 1960 again.
People worried JFK would have the pope on the hotline. They should have worried more about his bookies and pimps, err brothers, whatever he called them...

Sixty-five years have passed since John F. Kennedy went from Mass at Holy Trinity in Georgetown to take his inauguration oath on the Fitzgerald family Bible;65 years???? I don't think it has been quite that long yet.

The better question might be whether Catholics should serve on the Supreme Court. Would they be willing to rule against the desires of the Pope and the Roman Catholic church if the U.S. Constitution clearly insisted they should?
Well, skip that. Apparently there are enough Catholics that are willing to support unfunded federal mandates like ObamaCare, force Catholic institutions to provide birth control and support abortion because, you see, the Catholic Church seem to do nothing to punish their heretics.

Go back to the early days of the republic, though, and you find a very different attitude. John Jay, one of the Founding Fathers, who went on to become the first U.S. chief justice, argued that his home state of New York should extend full toleration to every sect "except the professors of the religion of the Church of Rome, who ought not to hold lands in, or be admitted to a participation of the civil rights enjoyed by the members of this state." John Jay proposed this amendment to the New York constitution in 1777, so technically it wasn't in the "early days of the republic". John Jay was not selected as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Article VI of the Constitution prohibits any religious test for public office.

The Supreme Court is entirely Catholic or Jewish
If I was Catholic I’d be more worried about a politically correct socialist Pope who barely mentioned Christ
And quit trying to be victims
It’s stupid

Watch the speech (12 September 1960).
JFK basically fulfilled Dr. Carson's conditions as to who is suitable to serve.

Apparently, the founders thought that Catholics shouldn't be citizens.
Ann Coulter is right on everything, so, she must be right on this...

He must have used common core math:

"Well there was the IRA." Oh YES! You beat me to it. I was just thinking the same thing when I read post #6. Also, I seem to remember something about "the inquisition" as well when protestants were tortured and put to horrible deaths for something as innocent as possessing and reading a Bible or daring to worship the All Mighty God differently than the Catholic Magisterium dictated.

You’re “remembering” things that never actually happened, then. Does your “memory” include the hundreds of Catholics executed under Elizabeth and James I in England whose “crime” amounted to nothing more than hearing Mass and shielding priests from certain death so that they could?

Plenty of Catholics have been patriotic enough to bleed and die on the battlefield for this country. Fine thanks they get from the neo-Know Nothing crowd.
