He is on video record stating that it scares the shit out of him that we have separation of church and state, and that it sickens him. He was referring specifically about a speech JFK made when people were afraid he was a “papist”. The arguement was that as soon as a catholic took over the presidency, he would turn power over to the pope, or be a puppet for the pope. JFK was stating that even if that was his intention, the government would never allow such a takeover, and the laws of the people would prevent such a thing from happening.

Which is ironic, because such a speech is what is basically giving Santorum (as a catholic mind you) the ability to run now without such claims. That literal speech has merit for allowing him to run. And Santorum is throwing it in JFK’s face, saying “fuck no, lets have religion and government be the same thing”. On top of all this nonsense, it shows a real lack of understanding of what the 1st amendment is supposed to be about.
