During the 1960 presidential election, some Protestants feared that Democratic candidate John F. Kennedy would take orders from the Pope because he also happened to be Catholic. Under pressure, Kennedy made an famous speech in Houston before a protestant audience affirming his duty to separate church and state. Kennedy would later win the election in a very close race against Richard Nixon.
