Remember, the whole reason for that speech was that people were afraid that, if JFK won the Presidency, being a Catholic, that he would be taking orders from the Pope.

I think you just twisted Santorum's words around. The way he said them gives them a bit of a different flavor that you gave them.
The context of JFK's statements notwithstanding (and I already made your point), Santorum has every right to disagree with what JFK said. JFK was wrong in Santorum's view, and the view of most Americans I could argue.
