John Kennedy Asks William Barr If His Catholicism Disqualifies Him From Serving as A.G.

‘You’re Roman Catholic, are you not?’

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY: "Do you think that disqualifies you from serving in the United States Government?"

BARR: "I don't think so, no."

KENNEDY: "Okay. Why is that?"

BARR: "Why doesn't it disqualify me?"

KENNEDY: "Some of my colleagues think it might."

BARR: "Because you render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's, and I believe in the separation of church and state and I — if there was something that was against my conscience, I wouldn't impose it on others, I would resign my office."
