To Father Jonathan Morris - I don’t recall John F. Kennedy explaining such things as the virgin birth and other finer details about his Roman Catholic faith. I probably wouldn’t have found them relevant either.

Rush said that the speach was a home run. I agree - and Rush is right 98.8% of the time.

The virgin birth is not exclusively Catholic...it's Christian, gospel truth in the Bible

I was waiting to see where he would bomb trying to emulate JFKs vote-for-me-I-am-only-a-pretend-Catholic speech. He did a good job instead. I don't think he will make inroads into the hard evangelical vote that is discombobulated because the term "Christian" is in the LDS description of that faith. But I think he eased the minds of a lot of other folks who needed to see him confident and sincere and on the side of folks who know that Christian Values are the bedrock of the Republic. LDS is a repository of those values in higher and more effectgive concentration than just about any other major religious grouping in the country. That is day to day values regarding homosexuality, social relativity, the Ten Commandments and other things that are actually relevant to the way he will approach his job. The perceived nature of Jesus and the LDS conception of the Eschaton is NOT relevant to the running of the country. It is as silly for religiơus Christians to reject him for his particular Faith as it would be to reject him for his choice of breakfast cereal. Is the real atheism and Marxist Faith of the Democrats preferable to Christian Values as held and espoused by someone whose Faith is not quite orthodox? What about Mrs. Clinton's "faith?" Have any of yall looked up Hussein's church? How is it Christian? It is at least 95% Black Nationalist and they say "Jesus" a lot.

Most Christians (probably not some liberals these days) believe that Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus. It's in the Creed.

Exactly how ignorant of Christianity are you?
