John Carroll (January 8, 1735 -- December 3, 1815) was the first Roman Catholic bishop and archbishop in the United States — serving as the ordinary of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. He is also known as the founder of Georgetown University, the oldest Catholic university in the United States, and the Georgetown Preparatory School, the oldest Catholic day and boarding school in the United States.
Richard James Cushing (August 24, 1895 -- November 2, 1970) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Boston from 1944 to 1970, and was created a cardinal in 1958.
His work contributed to making the Roman Catholic Church acceptable to the general American population at the time of then-Senator John F. Kennedy's run for the White House. Part of this work included reaching out to the non-Catholics of Boston after "the muscular style of involved Catholicism that Cardinal O'Connell brought to bear on issues of his day religious, social, and political in Boston and Massachusetts."
Cushing was created Cardinal Priest of S. Susanna by Pope John XXIII in the consistory of December 15, 1958. He was also one of the cardinal electors in the 1963 papal conclave, which selected Pope Paul VI.
The Cardinal was a close friend of the Kennedy family. He officiated at the marriage of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in 1953, at which he also read a special prayer from Pope Pius XII, and baptized many of the Kennedy children. Cushing gave the prayer invocation at Kennedy's inauguration in 1961. The Cardinal also celebrated President Kennedy's funeral Mass in 1963 at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
The day before the funeral, he gave a televised eulogy for the assassinated President. Cushing later publicly defended Jacqueline Kennedy after her marriage to Aristotle Onassis in 1968. He subsequently received a large amount of hate mail and was contradicted by the Vatican.
There were sixteen primaries in 1960. Kennedy entered seven of the primaries; Humphrey entered five of them; Morse entered three; and Brown entered one. Polls showed Brown to be invincible in California. Morse challenged Hubert Humphrey in the Distict of Columbia primary and John Kennedy in the Maryland primary. Oregon listed all of the candidates with the exception of Brown. Wisconsin and West Virginia were contested primaries between Kennedy and Humphrey. A problem for Kennedy was his Roman Catholic religion. Recalling the experience of 1928 Catholic Democratic presidential nominee Al Smith, many wondered if anti-Catholic prejudice would hurt Kennedy's chances of winning the nomination and the election in November. To prove his vote-getting ability, Kennedy challenged Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey, a liberal, in the Wisconsin primary. Although Kennedy defeated Humphrey in Wisconsin, the fact that his margin of victory came mostly from heavily Catholic areas left many party bosses unconvinced of Kennedy's appeal to non-Catholic voters. Meanwhile, in the District of Columbia primary, Humphrey had defeated Oregon Senator Wayne Morse. Kenndy also defeated Morse in the Maryland primary. Kennedy next faced Humphrey in the heavily Protestant state of West Virginia, where anti-Catholic bigotry was said to be widespread. Humphrey's campaign was low on money and could not compete with the well-organized, well-financed Kennedy team. Kennedy's attractive sisters, brothers, and wife Jacqueline combed the state looking for votes, leading Humphrey to complain that he "felt like an independent merchant competing against a chain store." Kennedy followed a strong performance in the first televised debate of 1960 by soundly defeating Humphrey with over 60% of the vote. Humphrey withdrew from the race and Kennedy gained the victory he needed to prove to the party's bosses that a Catholic could win in a non-Catholic state. Although Kennedy had only competed in nine presidential primaries, the failure of Kennedy's other main rivals - Johnson and Symington - to campaign in any primaries indicated that they were not popular vote-getters outside their home states. Although Stevenson had been the Democratic Party's presidential candidate in 1952 and 1956 and still retained a loyal following of liberals and intellectuals, his two landslide defeats to Republican Dwight Eisenhower led most party bosses to look for a "fresh face" who had a better chance of winning the general election in November. In the months leading up to the Democratic Convention, Kennedy traveled around the nation persuading delegates from various states to support him. However, as the convention opened, Kennedy was still a few dozen votes short of victory.

A key factor that hurt John F. Kennedy in his campaign was the widespread prejudice against his Roman Catholic religion; some Protestants believed that, if he were elected President, Kennedy would have to take orders from the Pope in Rome. To address fears that his Roman Catholicism would impact his decision-making, John F. Kennedy famously told the Greater Houston Ministerial Association on September 12, 1960, "I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party's candidate for President who also happens to be a Catholic. I do not speak for my Church on public matters — and the Church does not speak for me." He promised to respect the separation of church and state and not to allow Catholic officials to dictate public policy to him. Kennedy also raised the question of whether one-quarter of Americans were relegated to second-class citizenship just because they were Roman Catholic. Kennedy would become the first (and so far only) Roman Catholic to be elected President, but after the election, it was widely believed that Kennedy lost some heavily Protestant states because of his Catholicism.
The National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (usually identified as National Council of Churches or NCC) is an ecumenical partnership of 36 Christian faith groups in the United States. Its member denominations, churches, conventions, and archdioceses include Mainline Protestant, Orthodox, African-American, Evangelical, and historic Peace churches. Together, they encompass 100,000 local congregations and 45 million adherents.
The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom was drafted in 1777 by Thomas Jefferson in the city of Fredericksburg, Virginia. In 1786, the Virginia General Assembly enacted the statute into the state's law. The Statute for Religious Freedom is one of only three accomplishments Jefferson instructed be put in his epitaph. It supported separation of church and state, and freedom of conscience.
Reflecting a concept often credited in its original form to the English political philosopher John Locke, the phrase "separation of church and state" is generally traced to the letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to the Danbury Baptists, in which he referred to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as creating a "wall of separation" between church and state. The phrase was quoted by the United States Supreme Court first in 1878, and then in a series of cases starting in 1947. This led to increased popular and political discussion of the concept.
The concept has since been adopted in a number of countries, to varying degrees depending on the applicable legal structures and prevalent views toward the proper role of religion in society. A similar principle of laïcité has been applied in France and Turkey, while some socially secularized countries such as Norway have maintained constitutional recognition of an official state religion. The concept parallels various other international social and political ideas, including secularism, disestablishment, religious liberty, and religious pluralism.
The separation of church and state is a legal and political principle derived from various documents of several of the Founders of the United States. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ." The modern concept is often credited to the writings of English philosopher John Locke, but the phrase "separation of church and state" is generally traced to an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists, where Jefferson spoke of the combined effect of the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. His purpose in this letter was to assuage the fears of the Danbury, Connecticut Baptists, and so he told them that this wall had been erected to protect them. The metaphor was intended, as The U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted it, to mean that religion and government must stay separate for the benefit of both, including the idea that the government must not impose religion on Americans nor create any law requiring it. It has since been in several opinions handed down by the United States Supreme Court, though the Court has not always fully embraced the principle.

SOLÍA PENSAR QUE NO PODÍA SEGUIR,
Y QUE LA VIDA NO ERA MÁS QUE UNA CANCIÓN TRISTE,
PERO AHORA, CONOZCO EL SIGNIFICADO DEL AMOR VERDADERO.
ESTOY APOYADO EN LOS BRAZOS ETERNOS.
SI PUEDO VERLO, ENTONCES PUEDO HACERLO.
SI SÓLO CREO EN ESO, NO HAY NADA EN ESO.
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
CREO QUE PUEDO TOCAR EL CIELO,
PIENSO SOBRE ESO DÍA Y NOCHE,
ABRIR LAS ALAS E IRME VOLANDO,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR MUY ALTO,
ME VEO CORRIENDO A TRAVÉS DE AQUELLA PUERTA ABIERTA,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
YA VES, ESTUVE A PUNTO DE LARGARME A LLORAR,
A VECES EL SILENCIO PUEDE PARECER TAN RUIDOSO,
HAY MILAGROS EN LA VIDA QUE DEBO ALCANZAR,
PERO PRIMERO, SÉ QUE COMIENZA DENTRO DE MÍ,
SI PUEDO VERLO, ENTONCES PUEDO HACERLO,
SI SÓLO CREO EN ESO, NO HAY NADA EN ESO,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
CREO QUE PUEDO TOCAR EL CIELO,
PIENSO SOBRE ESO DÍA Y NOCHE,
ABRIR LAS ALAS E IRME VOLANDO,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR MUY ALTO,
ME VEO CORRIENDO A TRAVÉS DE AQUELLA PUERTA ABIERTA,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
CON UN CREO EN TI
SI PUEDO VERLO, ENTONCES PUEDO HACERLO,
SI SÓLO CREO EN ESO, NO HAY NADA EN ESO,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
CREO QUE PUEDO TOCAR EL CIELO,
PIENSO SOBRE ESO DÍA Y NOCHE,
ABRIR LAS ALAS E IRME VOLANDO,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR MUY ALTO,
ME VEO CORRIENDO A TRAVÉS DE AQUELLA PUERTA ABIERTA,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
CREO QUE PUEDO VOLAR,
SI ME DESPLEGAS MIS ALAS
PUEDO VOLAR,
PUEDO VOLAR,
PUEDO VOLAR,
PUEDO VOLAR,
