At LEAST it wasn't theology!
Heh. My mom used to say she heard that BS when she went to Catholic grade school in the early 60s. They basically told Catholic kids that they ALL should blindly love Kennedy no matter what he does. One of her most vivid memories was when they stopped school and announced on the intercom for everyone to come to the auditorium, and then told the students that the president had been killed, and everyone broke down in shock and tears.
Seems some of "today's Republicans" who fawn over that corrupt socialist scumbag JFK would be more at home teaching in an early 1960s Catholic school, telling future adults every day about the virtues of the saintly heroic JFK.
