Best quote on this issue comes from Hilaire Belloc:
Gentlemen, I am a Catholic. As far as possible, I go to Mass every day. This [taking a rosary from his pocket] is a rosary. As far as possible, I kneel down and tell these beads every day. If you reject me on account of my religion, I shall thank God that He has spared me the indignity of being your representative.
Someone needs to ask Sen. Feinstein how many questions she put to Jim Jones of People’s Temple about how his religious beliefs might influence
his political decisions...
Brilliant!
