TC, let me put it to you this way: why should I be more worried about a Catholic and his/her supposed allegiance to the Vatican than I would be a Protestant with his/her slavish allegiance to a book and its interpretation? Are you more worried about a Catholic than a Baptist or a Pentecostal end-times fanatic? Or a Mormon? How would you feel about an Orthodox Jew for President? There'd be no danger of that candidate kowtowing to Rome.
As long as a candidate supports secular government in word and deed, I don't really care what nonsense they may privately believe so long as they respect reason and evidence on questions of public policy. Of course, I'd like to have a chance to vote for a President who doesn't believe any of this religious horseshit, but this is America and I have to temper my hopes with reality.
