It's not without a touch of irony that the very speech -- i.e., Kennedy's -- that Chris Matthews presents as the gospel truth re. separation of Church and State concludes with the following passage:
"But if, on the other hand, I should win the election, then I shall devote every effort of mind and spirit to fulfilling the oath of the Presidency--practically identical, I might add, to the oath I have taken for 14 years in the Congress. For without reservation, I can "solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution...SO HELP ME GOD." (emphasis added)

i loved it.
solid reasoning.
Yes I agree. Bishop Tobin had solid reasoning. Too bad CM wouldn't shut up long enough to listen to any of it.
