“It would have been better if he had avoided the entire subject, and then we probably would not have seen this Huckabee affair unfold.”
He COULDN’T avoid it. It’s been the basis for most of the attacks on him by the southern ‘holier-than-thou’ Evangelicals. IMHO you’d never see Catholics acting in such a self righteous manner.

JFK handled it without going into beliefs, and theology.
Mitt could have gone that route, but he didn’t.
Instead his speech was designed to sound like mormonism isn’t much different than christianity. Well, that isn’t entirely up front - there are huge differences.
Catholics are used to this type of an attack, but respond to them differently.
If Huck had said...”don’t catholics believe they are really eating the true body and blood of Christ at communion?”....the response from catholics would have been “yes, we do!”
