The Prescience of JFK
On September 12, 1960, John F. Kennedy delivered his now-famous speech to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association. William Fisher writes, "He told the group he believed in 'an America where the separation of church and state is absolute - where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act ... For while this year it may be a Catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, in other years it has been, and may someday be again, a Jew - or a Quaker - or a Unitarian - or a Baptist ... Today I may be the victim - but tomorrow it may be you - until the whole fabric of our harmonious society is ripped at a time of great national peril.' I wonder if JFK realized how prescient he was."
