Rick Santorum is creating more buzz with a statement he made yesterday on "This Week," an ABC news show.

Santorum told show host George Stephanopoulos that statements made in a famous 1960 speech delivered by John F. Kennedy on the First Amendment call for separation of church and state made Santorum want to "throw up." Santorum went on to say on the ABC program:

"To say that people of faith have no role in the public square? You bet that makes you throw up. What kind of country do we live that says only people of non-faith can come into the public square and make their case?" Santorum said. You can view the interview with Santorum here.

Here's an excerpt from that speech by Kennedy: But because I am a Catholic, and no Catholic has ever been elected President, the real issues in this campaign have been obscured ... So it is apparently necessary for me to state once again -- not what kind of church I believe in, for that should be important only to me -- but what kind of America I believe in.

I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute; where no Catholic prelate would tell the President -- should he be Catholic -- how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote; where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference, and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him, or the people who might elect him..."
