Please keep in mind that one of the criticisms JFK faced during his 1960 run for the White House was "He will take all his orders from Rome."And even today, in some small towns in Arkansas and Texas that I know, it is better if the locals don't know you are Catholic. One time a friend laughed at the silly prejudices exhibited by one community...she was shocked when I told her if that community had known she was a Polish Catholic, she might have had the opportunity to see those prejudices in a much closer light!
