Move over John F. Kennedy, we have a new “most Catholic of presidents.”

White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough appeared on “The Axe Files” podcast with David Axelrod and made the astonishing claim that Barack Obama is the most Catholic U.S. president ever — nevermind he went to the church of Jeremiah Wright.

Talking about his interpretation of the Gospel, McDonough said, “The person I hear these kind of words from the most is the president.

“He talks a lot about dignity. He talks a lot about people being made in the image of God. He talks a lot about the need to treat each person with that respect that demands.”

“He always says he was raised in a spiritual tradition but not in a religious tradition,” Axelrod responded. “And he really sort of adopted his faith home when he was older in life in Chicago. But he is very spiritual,” he said.

“Look I say to him, Axe, and I think I’ve said this to him in your presence, and I’ve said this publicly before, I think this our most Catholic of presidents, and I mean than by capital ‘C’ Catholic in what I see in what he does everyday,” McDonough said.

“Now it’s not to say that he does everything entirely consistent with Catholic teaching, that’s not the idea, but I think the fact is his view of the person and his view of our role and the view of us as adding to the common good, I think is an undeniably Catholic set of premises and that’s why I say that to him a lot.”
