Rick Santorum said Sunday he doesn’t believe the separation of church and state is “absolute” and reiterated past comments that he almost “threw up” after reading a speech on the subject by former President John F. Kennedy.
“The first substantive line says ‘I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute.‘ I don’t believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute,” Santorum said on ABC‘s ’This Week.“ ”The idea that the church can have no influence or no involvement in the operation of the state is absolutely antithetical to the objectives and vision of our country.”
Santorum, a Catholic, has been very open about the role of religion in his life and in his political beliefs.
