So? With all that’s wrong with Mitt, we’re supposed to be concerned that he gives money to his church??

I would not touch this. It is a religious freedom issue and it is a trap.

If he believes in tithing and he makes 20 million a year, then he would be giving 2 million a year to his church.

Leave this one alone. It is protected by the first amendment and conservatives will look stupid opposing the first amendment.

Also a lot of information in the story about his hierarchy in the LDS church, including requirement for time committment, etc.

One might not agree with the religion but we are getting on a slippery slope here if we are going to make an issue of his donating to his church.

Good for him.

How much did Obama give to Jeremiah Wright’s church?

I despise the man but I don’t care about what he gives to his church!

My advice is stay far away from this sort of criticism!

This is probably one of his biggest concerns as far as releasing his taxes. It won’t look good to John Q. Public when combined with the stories Obama will slip into the media about Mormons.

I told ya this is why he didn’t want to release his returns.

Sure he has the right to give to whoever he wants. But I have the right to conclude what it means so I, and millions of others, can cast an informed vote.

This is simple. You want the real POTUS to be Thomas S. Monson? Well . . . then vote Mitt Romney.

This would make the Obama disaster pale in comparison . . . and boy is that saying something. Come on SC. We are counting on you.

I thought we’re supposed to denigrate Mormonism, not Mormons?

Bishop Romney can give as much or little as he desires to any institution or cause.

More interesting, however, is the question of whether Mitt is in full keeping with The Law of Tithing. Rank and file Mormons are required to pay their church a full ten percent of their income. Many contend that this rule is often bent for chief Mormons with no flexibility allowed for the rank and file Indian Mormons. Others believe this is the main reason for Bishop Romney's failure to disclose his tax returns since he obviously fits into the former category.

As long as it’s his money he’s giving a way I couldn’t possibly give less of a rip.

This Mormon bashing thing around here is beyond embarrasing lately. There are plenty of reasons to oppose Romney. His Mormon faith is NOT one of them.
