You don't get to find a bunch of other people's statements on the concept of church-state separation and thereby defend Santorum. That is poor use of reasoning, at best.<br /><br />Santorum, to his credit, has backtracked and now says that what JFK said was what he had and should have said at the time. <br /><br />Unfortunately for him, it was too late and yesterday Ohio Catholic Republicans strongly rejected him. <br /><br />JFK's speech was about a religious test for public office. That is wrong and JFK was right.Kurtnoreply@blogger.com
