How I was accused of being complicit in a murderous act

The Observer

I am a member of parliament. I am also a Roman Catholic.

- Chris Coghlan

One is my professional role, which I am proud to uphold so long as my constituents support me at the ballot box. The other is my personal faith, which is profoundly important to me but which does not - and will not - have any relevance to my parliamentary responsibilities. When people said 65 years ago that a Roman Catholic could never hold the most powerful elected office in the world, John F Kennedy replied.: "I am not the Catholic candidate for president. I am the Democratic party's candidate for president."
