Ong's Thought About Secondary Orality," I first highlight in detail what Maureen Callahan says about John F. Kennedy's womanizing in her 2024 book Ask Not: The Kennedys and the [Thirteen] Women They Destroyed (Little, Brown and Company/ Hachette Book Group). Next, I highlight the thought of the late Jungian psychotherapist and psychological theorist Robert Moore (1942-2016; Ph.D. in religion and psychology, University of Chicago, 1975) of the Chicago Theological Seminary about the eight archetypes of maturity in the human psyche and their sixteen associated "shadow" forms. Then I construct a profile of the "shadow" forms that characterized John F. Kennedy. Finally, I turn to the thought of the American Jesuit scholar Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955) of Saint Louis University to characterize our contemporary secondary oral culture -- and to make a final characterization of the consciousness of John F. Kennedy and his brothers and father.en-USMaureen Callahan, John F. Kennedy, Robert Moore, Walter J. OngScholarly Text or Essay
