Kennedy provoked widespread discussion of issues relating to church and state and to the role of Catholics in American politics.

It includes a detailed analysis of the vote in every state, revealing that religion affected the outcome of the election far more than previously thought. Kennedy lost more votes than he gained due to his religious affiliation, but by crafting a strong coalition, he prevailed in one of the closest races in presidential history.

Download or read book Religious Liberty and the American Presidency written by Patricia Barrett and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960 election settled the question of whether a Catholic can be elected to the highest office in the land. The aim of this book is to report and evaluate the campaign charges against Catholicism and indicate what they reveal of contemporary American attitudes regarding (1) the relationship of religion to politics, (2) the compatibility of Catholicism and American freedom, (3) trends in interfaith dialogue, and (4) the expanding dimensions of the whole problem of religious liberty. Despite President Kennedy's election, familiar charges against Catholicism are very much alive, and this text draws attention to persistent underlying tensions which lend themselves to fruitful exploration or fatal exploitation. This book is a summons to reflection on the past, and a call to continuing public argument on issues the campaign of 1960 revealed to be still burning among us.

Download or read book The Making of a Catholic President written by Shaun Casey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960 presidential election, won ultimately by John F. Kennedy, was one of the closest and most contentious in American history. The country had never elected a Roman Catholic president, and the last time a Catholic had been nominated--New York Governor Al Smith in 1928--he was routed in the general election. From the outset, Kennedy saw the religion issue as the single most important obstacle on his road to the White House. He was acutely aware of, and deeply frustrated by, the possibility that his personal religious beliefs could keep him out of the White House. In The Making of a Catholic President, Shaun Casey tells the fascinating story of how the Kennedy campaign transformed the "religion question" from a liability into an asset, making him the first (and still only) Catholic president. Drawing on extensive archival research, including many never-before-seen documents, Casey takes us inside the campaign to show Kennedy's chief advisors--Ted Sorensen, John Kenneth Galbraith, Archibald Cox--grappling with the staunch opposition to the candidate's Catholicism. Casey also reveals, for the first time, many of the Nixon campaign's efforts to tap in to anti-Catholic sentiment, with the aid of Billy Graham and the National Association of Evangelicals, among others. The alliance between conservative Protestants and the Nixon campaign, he shows, laid the groundwork for the rise of the Religious Right. This book will shed light on one of the most talked-about elections in American history, as well as on the vexed relationship between religion and politics more generally. With clear relevance to our own political situation--where politicians' religious beliefs seem more important and more volatile than ever--The Making of a Catholic President offers rare insights into one of the most extraordinary presidential campaigns in American history.
