There was a hymn, a collection; then a Peruvian missionary announced that they would hear from "the man known all the world over as the Human Bible." In this setting, Baptist Preacher Billy Graham brought his "Crusade for Christ" to the Roman Catholic heartland of South America. No city on the continent trumpets its devotion to Catholicism more than Lima...

A photograph of the President with a cardinal "would cost Mr. Kennedy 10,000 votes in the Bible belt in 1964." whereas pictures of him with Billy Graham "are pure 14-carat gold, to be laid away at five percent interest till the day of reckoning in 1964." This kind of poll-watching calculation. Father Davis argues, may not be very courageous, but Catholics generally "are not troubled" by the President's careful stepping across "so many fragile...
