Correct, tacticalogic. In discussions of the religious faith of various candidates, it is fair to discuss those beliefs or behaviors that might affect a candidate’s ability to carry out his role as president.

So far as I know, while the Mormon church has officially announced that blacks are now welcome in their church, I do not believe that they have renounced the teaching of their early leaders that black skin is a result of God’s curse on blacks. (PM, has that been renounced?)

Are there any candidates you are aware of that have expressed beliefs or exhibited behaviours that indicate they subscribe to past (but not current) Mormon church doctrine?

The point is that it’s a fair question for anyone to ask.

Your question would be a good one to ask. It slso would be good to ask if they formerly subscribed to it.
