In his televised address on September 12, 1960, Kennedy directly confronted the "religious issue:" pointed accusations that he would allow his Catholic faith to influence the execution of his responsibilities as president. His bold confrontation of this question made this one of the most important speeches of the 1960 campaign. He visited Dallas the following day. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
