As we have seen, a strong case can be made that John Fitzgerald Kennedy -- the first and only Catholic president -- had intensely upset intelligence and military circles in the U.S. with his stated efforts to reconcile with the U.S.S.R. following the Cuba missile crisis. There was also anger over the President's desire to seek better relations with Fidel Castro, halt conflict in Laos, and -- last but not least -- end America's direct involvement in Viet Nam. That Kennedy -- with the help of Pope John XXIII [previous article] -- was attempting this is not commonly known. It was done in large part through diplomatic "back channels."
