""'I am the Democratic Party's candidate for president, who happens also to be a Catholic. I do not speak for my church on public matters, and the church does not speak for me.'"" -JFK

My how times have changed.

Had Kennedy worn religion on his sleeve he would have been trounced.

"They" said .... "'If Kennedy was elected president, he'd criminalize birth control, he'd cut off foreign aid that helped countries invest in birth control, and he'd funnel tax money to Catholic parochial schools.'"

As it turns out, it's the GOP xtian fundies and vangies returning women to chattelhood.

Remembering the religious right's fight against planned parenthood efforts in rapidly populating regions, I foresaw the migration to the US of that surging human growth. Et, voila! Here they are, here they come and come and come. ... just like baby jeebus ordered. They went forth and multiplied and continue to multiply.

But they are losing their children. The latest Pew studies have indicated a continuous drop in religion for a couple of decades now. The Catholics are closing churches all the time for lack of attendance. The young are eschewing religion outright.

They are dying off. In another generation or two, religion will be like it is in much of Europe.
