all the Kennedys except old Joe attended mass as did his wife and those that spewed out anti-catholic propaganda use the catholic dogma used against him....people yelling and whispering the Pope would be in the White House. Unless you were of an age to remember, you can't imagine what had been said....oh my he will tell secrets to the pope in confession, he cannot be trusted etc.....It was in the papers all the times and there came a point where Kennedy faced it head on about the fact that the Pope will not be telling him what to do....

I find that era similar to those that don't like Mormons. Same kind of tactics, based on a persons religion...I would trust Romney (he was my last choice) more than the muslim in the white house now...also its not just the man you are voting for, its also all cabinet and all the directors to bureaus like EPA,Attorney General and a multiplicity of alphabet soup bureau's that run the show on domestic regulations...

I didnt come to the US until 1971

but I was only going on 15 when JFK was assasinated...

I dont remember any talk about his religion...

just that he was a war hero...

we were taught to respect the American president and I do remember it was horrible when he died that way...
