Title
"Catholicism and JFK's achievement" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the Vatican's decision to keep Catholic politicians ecclesiastically accountable for upholding Catholic doctrine. AuCoin criticizes this decision, describing how it undoes the achievements of President John F. Kennedy, the first Catholic president, who advocated for the separation of church and state in the 1960s. AuCoin explains that JFK affirmed that the head of any church should be prohibited from having any influence over the United States government. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired between 2002-2004.
