Davion · Answer 1

The correct answer is C. This is due to the fact that many considered that with him being the president of the United States, the Pope and the catholic church could influence decision making as it has in the past to many European countries. Kennedy, however, declared that his faith has nothing to do with politics, and that he believes in a secular America.
