Excerpt
Santorum argued that by confessing "an absolute separation of Church and State," Kennedy chose, "not just to dispel fear, but to expel faith," after doubts were raised about whether or not his administration would be subject to the papacy.
"The idea of a strict or absolute separation of church and state is not and never was the American model," Santorum stated, asserting that the concept was developed by Justice Hugo Black in the Supreme Court case of Everson vs. Board of Education in 1947.
