Reply #3: Well, it was a definite problem in the Baptist church I attended.

I recall our pastor pontificating (pardon the expression) when JFK was elected that the next step would be to amend the constitution to remove presidential term limits and then there would be a Catholic takeover of the entire country. Obviously, Nov. 22, 1963 put an end to that, but it was all God's work, you see. Just ask the pastor! I once heard that Al Smith (hope I'm remembering this right without googling) said, having lost a mid-30s election after taking a good deal of flack about being Catholic: "Wire the Pope and tell him to unpack." Maybe it was Al Landon...my memory ain't what it usta be!
