No, Brownback is a Catholic and th e Roman Catholic Church, as I understand it, does not recognize baptisms from the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints.

How did Brownback answer? The question was obviously meant to divide the Republicans.

Well I am from evangelical branch of the Christian church and I do not recognize Mormons as part of the Christian church but it would not stop me for voting for one if their policies were mine.

So again I say "why is the question relevant" of course I answer my question exactly as you say to divide the conservatives/republicans/religious right. They think they can use this tactic like they did the Mary Cheney thing in the 2004 campaign; have they learned nothing that had the reverse effect and I think the Mormon issue will do the same.

It is irrelevant whether they consider a Mormon part of the Christian faith or a separate cult or religion or whatever what is important can the person do the job he is running for and has he have the best interests of the country at heart.
