Lentorama 2007: The Non-Canonized Catholic Person of the Day
Today it's John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States and only Catholic to hold the office. He's also in no danger of being canonized any time soon.
I'm going with JFK because of two ties to today. The first is that it was on this day in 1961 that he authorized the Peace Corps, one of the highlights of his administration. The other is that today, the USS John F. Kennedy pulled into Boston harbor for a weekend visit, the last before it is decomissioned. It is either the last or next to last conventionally-powered aircraft carrier in the US Navy (I've read both).
