I agree—Romney’s biggest problem isn’t that he’s Mormon, but that he is devout. Most people in the US who claim to be religious do not actually follow the tenets of their faith. I like to call them Kennedy Catholics (as opposed to Mel Gibson Catholics) or Bill Clinton Baptists.

It really threatens people’s lackadaisical feel-good approach to religion when somebody comes along who actually lives their faith.

Is that why Romney did not follow Mormon teaching on abortion and homosexuality -- until he decided to run for president?

Burjean, that is so true.

And how did you know that my uncle was a Kennedy Catholic? lol.

The focus on religion amazes me.

The president is limited in what they can do. There’s virtually nothing to fear from a president when you have a hostile congress.

I've visited an LDS Church for services once. Just nice people there. I am a Catholic. I visited a lot of different Churches and Synogogues because you are always welcome there. Orthodox Churches are an endurance test.

Just visit other churches. If my pope doesn't fire Cardinal Roger Mahoney in L.A. I will become a Southern Baptist. The Bishops that run the Missions in San Fernando and Santa Barbara don't like him.
