  You can be sure that Mitt will not listen to the 
Pope regarding matters of policy.

  As to Kennedy, I was thinking more of his pledge 
that he wouldn't listen to the Pope in matters of 
polity!! I wonder if Mitt is willing to give the 
same kind of response??

  And, yes, I don't think a practicing atheist 
could get elected, even though I would trust 
somebody whose worldview was consistently closer 
to mine, not like Mitt and Rudy who are clearly 
interested in power and who are willing to say 
anything it may take to get elected to the post de 
jour!!  (Yes, Hillary, Barack, and John E. likely 
fall into that same category as well.

  But, what about Right to Life backing Thompson 
as the one who can win??  What a strange season 
this has been. About as many changes as winner on 
Dancing with the Stars!!

  That's how the Muslim states work, why not us? 
We will have separated church and state the day an 
atheist candidate winsthe Presidency.  Thinking 
about your reference to JFK, the issue wasn't that 
he wasChristian, but all about whether he was the 
*right sort* of "Christian" tolead the USA. It 
seems to me the Muslims have that problem too.
