Loyalty to the Pope as a religious leader is different from loyalty to a 'foreign prince' of another country. The Pope's master plan is up front and not concealed. Don't expect spies from the Vatican trying to steal nuclear secrets or top secret information.
I am far more concerned with presidents that are more loyal to oil and big business than to the people.
Kennedy made it abundantly clear how with him there would be no conflict of loyalties. If Kerry is elected, I doubt there would be much problem because it doesn't look like he is listening to the Pope anyway.
