I too would like to hear his answer on this one. We are clearly in a moral discussion and not a political or legal one, but it is nevertheless very important. I have long held contempt for Marriot and their unwillingness to address this issue. Ampu, you must know that in every priesthood address by the Prophet, we are given clear warning and heart-felt pleading to avoid pornography as though it were a foul disease. It is destroying lives. The Church, in fact, just put out another publication, going to every member's home via their home teachers, dealing with this subject again. I don't want to be overly dramatic here. Suffice it to say if Romney hasn't had the courage to fight what he knows is expressly against his beliefs while he has had power and opportunity to do so- if even just to raise a warning voice, I can have no confidence that he will champion anything else that really matters when he is in that esteemed position of power. I believe this is a topic worthy of the national stage. Personally I believe it is damning to all of those who have encouraged it or turned a blind eye to its promulgation.
DanielLongo,
I am glad we have found common ground. That
is the issue. No more or no less. I would
feel the same about any candidate, but in
this instance, the guy is a fairly well
entrenched member of his religion that
opposes porn - as are the Marriott family
members (my understanding).
... and in a POTUS primary, this stuff is
all grist for the mill. Some voters would
like to know this and they have the right
to ask. Mitt has the right to answer or
avoid answering. His call, since he will
have to weigh the consequences.
I simply like to see how consistent a person
is with their professed beliefs. In mitt’s
case, it is just idle interest, since I am
not voting for mitt in any race.
And Daniel, you are right, it destroys families.
Though this be a brief moment of agreement,
I’m with you on it.
