Wrong. Separation of Church and State is not constitutional. Santorum knows this. JFK spoke that Protestant pastors shouldn’t tell their congregations how to vote. That statement tells me that JFK did not understand the first amendment.
Please address that issue.
"Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion & Govt in the Constitution of the United States, the danger of encroachment by Ecclesiastical Bodies may be illustrated by precedents already furnished in their short history."
James Madison

JFK’s remarks on the SCS fallacy were more than abrasive. Santorum obviously wasn’t thinking about the Presidency when he hyperventilated into that brown paper bag. Two dorks.
That is a green light to Muslims.
JFK was trying to assure Protestant ministers that he wasn’t going to take orders from the Pope. People today forget the times. In 1960, in many regions of the US, Catholicism was looked at in much the same light as say Mormonism. It was Evangelicals, a term I believe not used at the time, but correct me if I’m wrong, who wanted to hear those words from JFK before they would consider voting for him.
